Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort edit
Luther, by Cranach the Younger
- ... that "Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort" by Luther (pictured) was titled "A hymn for the children to sing against the two arch-enemies of Christ, and His Holy Church, the Pope and the Turks"? Source: [1] (in "Notes", "read more")
- Reviewed: 150th anniversary of Canada
- Comment: The hook is long, so has no room to say that it was a late hymn, but the image could do that, - 2017 year of the Reformation. Needless to say, the wording of title and text was changed in later editions, but not yet in Bach's cantata for Sexagesima 1725, - 19 February this year.

New enough, long enough. "Danger of the Turks" seems a bit non-neutral, although probably an accurate description of opinions at the time. We should be careful not to convey this "danger" in the encyclopedia's voice but rather attribute it to those holding the service. Perhaps "perceived danger" would be an appropriate rewording? Cited appropriately. AGF on some foreign-language sources. No close paraphrasing or copyvios detected through spot checks. The hook is barely short enough, but the length is understandable because the interesting fact lies within an absurdly long name. The hook is cited appropriately. Image is public domain, used in the article, and shows up well at small sizes. The picture isn't related to the poem itself, so I'm a bit divided on whether it should actually be used, especially since we try to find images that aren't just of people as much as we can. It seems a bit backward to choose a picture of a person when the article isn't actually a biography. I'll leave that to the prep builder to decide. Only concern that needs to be addressed is that one slight rewording. ~ Rob13Talk 03:22, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for another thorough review. I added the word, but couldn't help thinking that when people held a service against some danger in the 16th century, it is clear that it doesn't mean todays's danger, and not even that "danger" was a fact then but what they regarded as a danger. - The image: more than people we try to avoid unreadable text, and that is the only other image we have. This image of Luther is not so well known and would show another aspect of the person in the year of the Reformation. - Once I am here, the FAC Ninety-five Theses might profit from your reviewing skills, and the Liberté hook needs the icon repeated, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Good to go. I fully agree, Gerda Arendt, and I'd certainly read things that way in a history text. Having said that, the European–Turkish tension is very much still alive in the modern-day, so best to eliminate potential for confusion. Especially reasonable confusion by those from a part of the world where English is not read as a first language, who very well might miss the contextual meaning of "danger". I stay as far away from FAC as possible due to some of the personalities involved. ~ Rob13Talk 04:22, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
