• For me this needs a far stronger hook. I expect a DYK to be very much more obvious when I read the article, and almost to get a sense of surprise. The article is about a couple of communists of their day doing the communist things of their day. Fiddle Faddle 06:55, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
  • The image in the article should generate the required surprise. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:30, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
    • It worries me that I still need to be spoon fed. I see a gravestone with two names on it, but I am not surprised. Two people who are not alive share the same grave marker. For me the DYK needs to tell me something that is, perhaps, counter intuitive, or is more than usually interesting. It must be me, but I am not finding this to be in that class. You have something in your mind, but it is not transferring to mine. Use a bigger hammer, maybe? Fiddle Faddle 22:49, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
      • Plot has multiple meanings. One is a secret plan, the end or means being illegal or at least questionable; the other is a parcel of land, in this case, a burial plot. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:48, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
        • Your larger hammer has been successful Fiddle Faddle 08:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is sourced to a German language source and is accepted in good faith. The article is neutral but I could not assess whether there were any copyright problems because of my inability to understand German. I considered whether the two meanings of "plot" mentioned above were supported by the article, especially whether the "Pergolenweg" could be described as communist, and decided that they were. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:29, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
