- ... that Johannes Schott of Strasbourg took over the printing company of his father Martin Schott around 1500, and printed texts by Protestant reformers such as Ulrich von Hutten and Martin Luther? Source: [1] (1500), [2] (von Hutten), [3] (Luther)
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bernd Jeffré, Template:Did you know nominations/Hanan Awwad, Template:Did you know nominations/32nd anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests (the latter two are not full reviews, but I figured two halves count for one whole).

Interesting articles on great sources, no copyvio obvious. So far I looked only at the son, but will do the other also. I like the article a lot, but think the lead could - besides avoiding a repetition of "also" - say more clearly that he not only printed but had close contact with the authors. I think a hook saying so would be more interesting. Perhaps we might split the DYK in father and son. Just an idea, but I need food before looking at the father :) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)- I now also looked at the father, on few but good sources (and no more to expected given the era), and I can read the German. No copvio obvious. So: I'd still suggest to split this in two noms, with the image used for the father, an unusual and clear image worth showing. In Martin's article, I'd summarise his son's work a bit more than just saying he was likewise a printer, - just a suggestion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:32, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- What do you think, Drmies? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:05, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, I appreciate it, but I'm fine with the double--I really don't want to put more work into it, and I really only wrote these because I was working on a book printed by Schott (the elder). Thanks, Drmies (talk) 00:40, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
as you wish. If I had extra time, I'd do it (tell the millions on the Main page that Johannes had good relations to the humanists, not only the hundreds who will click and read it in the lead), but I have to do 3 noms today or too late, and countless qpq. It's just that reformation featured prominently on my user page, as a work in progress. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
