Friedrich Achleitner

... that Friedrich Achleitner (pictured), a concrete poet and architecture critic, wrote over decades about Austrian architecture in the 20th century, visiting each building described? Source: [1]

Comment: Died yesterday, RIP. The image is awful, can it perhaps be cropped, David?

Gerda: I created a couple of crop options: 4:5 aspect ratio / 1:1 aspect ratio (square). —David Levy 11:11, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 09:58, 28 March 2019 (UTC).

Thank you for the options, David, - I prefer the last, showing more posturethan the middle one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:21, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

I love this fact and I think the timing of it is appropriate given his unfortunate passing, but I think the DYK phrase itself is a bit clunky. There's a few too many commas and the fact doesn't read as one smooth piece of information. I've tried my hand at rewriting it:

ALT1: ... that Friedrich Achleitner (pictured), a concrete poet and architecture critic, wrote over decades about Austrian architecture in the 20th century and visited each building he described?"

If you have any further edits or suggestions for wording, please let me know! Thanks as always for your great work, Gerda. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 15:30, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, I like that! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Then I'd say this is all good to go! Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 20:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
