Paraphrase edit

The source says "the spiritual rather than the secular authority has the last word", - the article says "implying that earthly powers do not last, but God – the supreme ruler – is entitled to have the last word." I suggest to better quote the source because it does not support "earthly powers do not last", nor "the supreme ruler". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

1000 years Leipzig edit

What they celebrate is "1000-jährige urkundliche Ersterwähnung Leipzigs", first mentioning of Leipzig in a document. I don't know if "founding" is the right term for that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:49, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Okay, open to alternatives, but "1000 years Leipzig" doesn't make sense in English. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:31, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I didn't know the proper term, do you? There must be one. For the church it's easier: the building. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I see you do. Will try to remember "recorded mentioning", --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Well written edit

Overall absolutely acceptable. Two quibbles which I would raise:

  • History and words - 'Bach could count on the entire council (his employer) listening, and likely also civil servants' - 'probably' is better than 'likely' in colloquial English.
  • Scoring and structure - I suggest adding 'the musicologist' or 'the editor' before 'Alfred Durr' so that it is clear where this is coming from.

Verifiable with no original research edit

Well sourced and cited as one would expect from this editor.

Broad in its coverage, Neutral edit

Exemplary on both counts and well-focussed.

Stable edit

No problems

Images edit

Appropriate images and clear tables

Summary edit

I have no problems in passing this for GA, but the editor might like to take a look at the two quibbles under "Well-written".--Smerus (talk) 11:04, 29 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
