The entry is new, long enough, and well sourced. But the citation for the fact that Hielscher initiated the series does not document that fact. Perhaps the fact is elsewhere on that site and all we need is a modified URL. And might I suggest a restatement of the hook to subtract some information while highlighting the noteworthy 30-year span: ...that the same organist who initiated weekly concerts at the 'Marktkirche in Wiesbaden in 19XX (or thirty years earlier) played the 1500th concert in the series in 2010.

He started as an organist in 1979. I don't know if the series started then, in 1980 or 1981, the paper says "fast 30-jährigen Erfolgsgeschichte", success story of almost 30 years". I think the number of concerts is more impressive, and a division by 50 to get to the years not too difficult. What do you think? (Personal: here I see two articles nominated on 20 March reviewed, and the one nominated on 12 March, asking for speedy, is still unreviewed.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:47, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

ALT1:... that organist Hans Uwe Hielscher played the 1500th concert in a series of free weekly organ recitals during market time, which he had initiated about 30 years earlier at the Marktkirche in Wiesbaden (organ console pictured)?

Nice modification to the citation. I much prefer the ALT version. Could we trim it a bit? I find "market time" and "free" are incidental details that get in the way of the reader's immediate grasp of the key hook-worthy fact, namely that initiator=performer at 1500th. And need we identify him as an organist when he's playing organ recitals? Like this:

No problem, I need to be patient, see top of my talk. I would like to keep the market time because it kind of translates the name of the church, also seems to be unusual, 11:30 to noon:

ALT3 is fine. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 11:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
