  • Comment: DYKcheck and Prosesize miscalculate the pre-expansion size. See Wikipedia talk:Prosesize for a bug report. 2352B to 22K is more than 5x expansion :)

5x expanded by Kusma (talk). Self-nominated at 00:33, 20 February 2022 (UTC).

Substantial bio expansion on excellent sources, subscription source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Tough to choose a hook. I think the original is the most unusual but I'd take the Schiller illustration to go along, no? It's actually saying more about Schiller than Huber. ALT1 is more for insiders. ALT2 would be better saying also that he was bilingual, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:46, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Huber and Dora Stock, drawn by Friedrich Schiller

Made some ALTs and included the Schiller image. Let me know what you think is best. —Kusma (talk) 20:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

• ALT0a: ... that Ludwig Ferdinand Huber (pictured) wrote the texts for a humorous book that was illustrated by poet Friedrich Schiller?
• ALT0b: ... that Ludwig Ferdinand Huber wrote the texts for a book with humorous illustrations (example pictured) by poet Friedrich Schiller?
• ALT2a: ... that Ludwig Ferdinand Huber, who grew up bilingual in French and German, started publishing his own translations from English and French into German as a teenager?

I like ALT0b best, but would put the "pictured" even behind Schiller. I hope it will be pictured! For a hook without image, ALT2a might be more informative (but could happen almost every century). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:31, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
