  • Re QPQ: This is my second DYK (see first). Johnuniq (talk) 03:04, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Re source for hook: Above shows a website for easy access. The article mainly uses a hard-to-find book. If wanted, I can add quotes from that book showing what it says for the points in the hook. Johnuniq (talk) 03:04, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Interesting life, on few but good sources, offline source accepted AGF. The hook is fine, - you might want to add born "in Prussia". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
What do think of including the image? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
Geography and particularly historical geography is not my strong point so I would prefer that someone with a clue tweak the "born in X" wording. Please feel free to insert Silesia or Prussia. I put what the sources say at Talk:Hermann Herlitz#Birth place although I would think your edit changing the name to Neiße is correct. Please also change "Neisse" in the infobox.
You mean to include the image in the DYK? That would be great if no better DYK image is available because there is something enchanting about that photo which was retouched by Verbcatcher. FYI the original upload was at de:File:Hermann Herlitz-2.jpg. Is adding it here something I need to do, or would you like to do the necessary adjustments? Thanks!

Sorry about a misunderstanding, I meant to add Prussia to the hook, - not only Jewish vs. Christian, but Europe vs. Australia. - I added the image, which is licensed and supplies a fine felling for person and period. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
I see what you mean. I'm not sure about the ettiquete here but I edited my hook to include Prussia, rather than adding ALT1. Johnuniq (talk) 10:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
