  • Wouldn't Die Plage, a historical narrative be the correct grammar? EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 19:06, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Fixed Of course!! (#¤%&@%! typo) Thank you for noticing. w.carter-Talk 19:34, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Let me suggest a slight adjustment

ALT1 * ... that Harley Gaber's (pictured) magnum opus, Die Plage, is a historical narrative of modern Germany comprising 5000 canvases?
Well, it's in line with it, but was not prompted by it. I ignore all mammals taller than I am. EEng (talk) 09:37, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Substantial, detailed article on an interesting subject, on good sources. I am not so happy with the hooks, espececially the '"pictured" in between his name and his creation. I would also be interested in mentioning that he stopped composing, to point out his double talent. Weimar Republic to end of World War II would be more to the point and more interesting than "modern Germany" (which says about nothing). magnum opus and its link detract from our subject. A link to Germany is not needed. My wording would be something like ... that the composer and visual artist Harley Gaber (pictured) created Die Plage, a historical narrative of Germany from the Weimar Republic to end of World War II in 5000 canvases?
But please: you word it, or I can't approve it, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Gerda Arendt, nice to meet you again. How about this ALT? I know I cant use your exact words or I'll get my fingers slapped once again. ( I happened to make that mistake not long ago...) w.carter-Talk 20:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
  • ALT2 ... that Die Plage, created by composer and visual artist Harley Gaber (pictured), is a historical narrative of Germany from the Weimar Republic to the end of World War II in 5,000 canvases?
or
ALT3 ... that Die Plage, created in 5,000 canvases by the composer and visual artist Harley Gaber (pictured), is a historical narrative of Germany from the Weimar Republic to the end of World War II?
