Observations
[edit]HTML document size: 440 kB Prose size (including all HTML code): 66 kB References (including all HTML code): 176 kB Wiki text: 95 kB Prose size (text only): 35 kB (5694 words) "readable prose size" References (text only): 18 kB
- It is reasonably well written.
- In the lead, drop links to pen name, mineralogy, Hymns to the Night, Athenaeum, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, fragment. (Hymns is linked extensively in writings.)(First link to Athenaeum is in Freiberg: The Mining Academy)
- Birth and early background: remove link to rhetoric;
- Jena, Leipzig, Wittenberg: Legal Studies: remove link to law in the first sentence.
- Freiberg: The Mining Academy: drop link to galvanism, alchemy, industrialization.
- In 1798, Novalis's "fragments" → linking to fragments here is confusing; it appears you are linking to the document. If this is a document (apparently) then consider dropping that link and italicizing the text as per other text references.
- As romantic poet: Reading reference 45 is not clear that MacDonald defined Novalis like so: also understood him as a poet of mystic desire. That particular reference has MacDonald consider Novalis a mystic poet. Consider. (Mystic desire is not a common term, nor is it theologically defined.)
- Magical idealism: Linking to immanence is confusing as the subject is health, and not the immanence of divinity which this article is (mostly) about. Consider.
- Religious views: drop the link to hymnals, Medieval, Catholic Church, logos, cosmopolitan.
- Upon examining reference [2]: 46–47 , I do not find any claim or statement that Novalis was Pietist all his life and up to his death. Consider this claim suspect and unfounded.
- Political writings: we may drop the links to Prussia, Christendom.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Good work in the Writings section with links to Novalis's works: Poetry, Unifinished novels and Fragments
- In Political Writings, there is a telling comment from Frederick Wilhelm III about the impossibly high standards.
- Stoljar gives an interesting overview of magical idealism;
- The Influence section is well curated with plentiful sources and references to Novalis.
- It is challenging to deconstruct an author who used poetry to develop philosophy. However, this is carried off well in this article.
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- NPOV is preserved in this article.
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- Page created 23 April 2003 - a very old page.
- Page has 1,267 edits by 357 editors
- Cluebot NG has not been on the page, suggesting there has been nil vandalism
- majority of edits (by year) have been in 2020 (700+ edits)
- 90 day page views = 17,039 with a daily average of 187 views
- Examination of page history shows steady improvement, no edit-warring
- It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

- All images have fair use rationales and suitable captions.
- Overall:
- This is an old page, and it has gone in many directions, considering the Talk page. The hand of many editors over the years is apparent.
- There is some overlinking; fragments and immanent can have some clarity.
- I would like to see some clarity around the claim that he was a Pietist all his life.
- With attention to these minor matters, the article will pass to GA. --Whiteguru (talk) 04:39, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
