  • Article is new enough, long enough, and is well constructed with supporting citations and within policy. The length of both hooks is fine, and the hook fact for both is assumed in good faith to the cited German language references. I personally prefer hook Alt1, but either could be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 02:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
    • @LouisAlain, Gerda Arendt, and 4meter4: the premiere in 1704 is only mentioned twice in the article, once in the lead and once in a caption—neither are referenced inline, unless I'm missing something. (Caption should also have Germanicus in italics, I think.) That Telemann was director at the time is sourced appropriately, but can the premiere be mentioned in the body with a reference? — Bilorv (talk) 18:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
      yes --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
      @Gerda Arendt: you've added that there was another performance in 1740, but the source says 1710 right? — Bilorv (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
      yes again, sorry about that silly typo, - thank you for indenting according to Wikipedia:Colons and asterisks! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
