Interesting church, on good sources, offline an French sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - Im am not excited about the hook, because you could say the same thing about many churches. I am also not sure about "lithe" for légère. As if that wasn't enough, there's no connection to the image, - the hook needs some (pictured). Suggestions: say something about the patron saint, or the organ (with organ pic), or - if you want to stay with the hook - take a nave pic. - Article (suggestions, not needed for approval): I am not sure that "far from being empty" is encyclopedic ;) - How about listing the interior features in chronological order? How about more lead? - Again: thank you for the article! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Okay Gerda, changes will be underway! :) Edelseider (talk) 16:04, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Do I understand that you want to use the new image with the hook?

in that cas, adding the (pictured) and changing the caption to more standard. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Gerda. It's difficult to find a hooking hook for this church. It is very nice, and deserves to be known (as does the small town of Soultz), but not quite exceptional. Edelseider (talk) 17:23, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but it seems odd to be describing architecture as lithe and pure in Wikipedia's voice. Yoninah (talk) 20:35, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

I see no problem with "pure Gothic" which is rare, because most Gothic churches have some changes to different later style(s). Not sure about "lithe" which is translated. Edelseider, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah:, @Gerda Arendt:, we could also translate épurées et légères by clean and light, or refined and light. This would be the literal translation. Edelseider (talk) 05:43, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Could be also say "was described as", and perhaps mention the French also, for authenticity? I had to look up, so thing "light" is better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah:, are you still with us on this? Edelseider (talk) 08:17, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Edelseider, it's your turn to write a proper ALT, which I then can approve. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:27, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: are you joking? I wrote a proper ALT a few days ago! Edelseider (talk) 13:39, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Don't need "joking" when I'm just looking the wrong place. I don't see "was described as" in ALT1, and the quote is not a quote in the article, nor was mentioned who said so. How is this?

ALT2: ... that the Gothic architecture of the Église Saint-Maurice in Soultz-Haut-Rhin (interior pictured) has been described as refined and light?--Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, that works. Restoring tick for ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
