- Could be much longer if wanted, material to play with:
- ALT1: ... that Felice Bauer and Franz Kafka first met 100 years ago today in Prague at the house of his friend Max Brod, exchanged hundreds of letters, partly published as Letters to Felice, and were engaged twice? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
- Much prefer ALT1 PumpkinSky talk 21:04, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Giving this a review so we meet the date. You don't mention the 'hundreds of letters' anywhere. Length and newness fine. Secretlondon (talk) 09:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. I read the book but I'm not a reliable source ;) I will post here when I found a source four the number, so far I found one for 592 pages ;) - interesting and worth incorporating first, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Still no source for a number, but one source has the 592 pages + they corresponded daily for about 5 years, another has 700 pages. Could you suggest a different way to express that their so-called communication was mostly in letters? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:12, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- someone counted 500+ his side alone, please look again, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm satisfied that the facts in the hooks are supported by the sources. I prefer the original hook; ALT1 is too long and detailed, but one or two of the "extra" details in it could be included in the hook. Interesting story. --Orlady (talk) 14:38, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you! In between suggestion:
- ALT2: ... that Felice Bauer and Franz Kafka first met 100 years ago today in Prague, exchanged hundreds of letters, partly published as Letters to Felice, and were engaged twice? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:46, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
