Rheinsberg (story)

  • ... that Rheinsberg, a 1912 "picture book for lovers", was promoted by author Kurt Tucholsky and illustrator Kurt Szafranski by offering a free schnapps with a purchase of a book? Source: several

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 14:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC).

  • @Gerda Arendt: Beginning review. I noticed that citations 1 and 2 have the same URL (but other parameters different). Could you please check if one of these is in error? Correction: Ah, sorry, they're the first two in the references list, but are citations 1 and 4. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT0a: ... that Rheinsberg, a 1912 "picture book for lovers", was promoted by its creators by offering a free schnapps with its purchase?
  • Query: Will hold approval pending referencing work. Otherwise, nominated 8 days after article creation (waived as new enough), long enough, neutral and well cited. QPQ verified. Hook is interesting and hooky, formatted, neutral, and in article (in three places). All three parts are verifiable to dw.com. I've also offered an abbreviated ALT0a for your consideration. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
    Seen, but have two things to do first, and then may be too tired. ALT0a is fine, but as it was Tuchoslky's first success, I'd like to give him credit, and plan to write about the illustrator. A great person died, that always "ruins" my plans, but I can't leave such articles tagged ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
    The great violinist is posted, and I fixed the link, Reidgreg, - easier than I thought it would be. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:21, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
    Thanks! Part of the hook is from the first sentence of 'Publication and marketing' which did not have an inline citation. On closer inspection, source "Rabitz"/dw.com mentions that Tucholsky opened the bookbar with his illustrator friend Szafranski, but does not specifically state that Szafranski illustrated the book. I didn't find this in the other online references, but searched a bit and added a citation to Museum-digital (it seemed the most reliable) which verifies all of that sentence. So hook fact now cited in article, all good.
    Extra stuff: Not a big deal, but I noticed that schnapps is spelled with a double-p in the hook and a single-p in the article, if you feel like changing one or the other for consistency. I also noticed that source "Heidelk" mentions the Rheinsberg Tucholsky-Literaturmuseums (Tucholsky Literature Museum, located in Rheinsberg website), which speaks to the story's influence and legacy. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
    Approve ALT0, ALT0a, nominator prefers ALT0. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
