long enough, new enough, good sources. Article: please make the lead a summary (no references) of facts in the body (all references there). Hook: sorry, boring. Can you mention that he was sent to Queensland to work with natives? - just one idea of many possibilities, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Actually I kinda like the hook! ;) If only the picture were better... Anyways, I will make the changes. Thanks, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 13:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Forgive me, but it could be said about thousands of people. Adding "in Queensland" with a link would already make it much more specific, and some time idea (in case the picture will not be taken). But I am open to thoughts! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Or ALT2: ... that Johann Christian Simon Handt (pictured) was the first man to take up the position of missionary in Queensland? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 14:58, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

  • ALT1 is funny but doesn't say a thing about his mission (pun intended). ALT2 is not undisputed, right? Please add a time to the following or think further:
ALT3: ... that Johann Christian Simon Handt (pictured) was possibly the first missionary to Queensland? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:08, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Okay, ALT3's good. I like. Thanks a lot. Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 15:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
