  • Length, date and hook are good. Articles referenced. Yas777 (talk) 20:02, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
  • How can the above reviewer be qualified with only five edits? Also, Leszek needs three qpqs. We go article for article now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:17, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Progress on this nomination seems to have stopped. Please provide the QPQs, otherwise this will have to be delisted.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 21:47, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Although these articles seem to be in a good shape, they rely for the better part on AGF sources. There are also a few outstanding issues that need to be resolved:
  • There's a malfunctioning reference on two of these articles.
  • I have trouble interpreting the source for the hook references. Where is the obelus, and how is the "Pericope Adulterae" marked? —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 11:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
I hope you can help me with that.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 11:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Almost every source is available online: Kurzgefasste, The Profile Methos.... Hook is taken from Gregory Eheb obelisirt ("Eheb" abbr. from "Ehebrecherin"). These books usually are written in an abbreviated style (Kap-L, Kap, Auf, Abs...). Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 11:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
With the help of my rusty highschool German as well as the nominator's hints, I have indeed been able to decode the sources which back up the hook. I can happily confirm: they do check out. The problem with the broken references has also been resolved. However, before I can approve this, I do have one more concern. Presently, these articles feel like a list of random facts about the books thrown together in a Wikipedia page. Could you rewrite these articles ensuring they~read more like prose, instead of one big trivia section?—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:00, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Section "History" was expanded (especially in 1187) and small edits in section "Description". They are manuscript articles (number of pages, size of pages, division of text, additional material, marginal notes, textual character, place of housing). Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 09:52, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Considering this is DYK, I will accept the articles as you just updated them.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 13:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
