  • This article is new enough and long enough. The image is suitably licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. A QPQ has been done and I have added User Jmar67 to the credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything in the source about him "introducing" these composers; he only added them to the publisher's catalogue. Yoninah (talk) 13:59, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • We can use ALT1, or say something more cautious, such as "promoted", or simply
ALT2: ... that Henri Hinrichsen, owner of C. F. Peters in Leipzig (pictured), published music by composers such as Gustav Mahler, Max Reger and Arnold Schönberg? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT2 sounds less hooky. If we go with ALT1, I would like to go with just the musical instruments fact, although there is no citation in the article for the amount of money he donated (200,000 RM). Yoninah (talk) 14:26, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
How is publishing composers such as Mahler and Schoenberg, who are basically known because of his publications, "less hooky"? + we talk "hookiness" for a man who was murdered in Auschwitz? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:31, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
If you feel it's so important to note that he was murdered in Auschwitz, why not write a new hook? The fact that he published this music doesn't make him unique; in fact, it sounds like other publishers could have been publishing that music too. Yoninah (talk) 18:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
I don't feel I want to mention the Holocaust in every hook, but it's in the background, so I wouldn't want to say something quirky about him. When a leadiing publisher promotes Mahler and Schönberg, that means "introducing" to me, but what can I do if you find that problematic? - I sourced the donation, but the image wuld go better with publishing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:28, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • I don't feel understood today, but nevermind. I'd prefer Reger to Brahms who is mentioned much more often on the Main page. The hook reads as if they both had a room, but it was only Grieg. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:31, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Again I feel not understood. I was asked "Would you like to write", and no, I would not like to write the last ALTs. They are better than nothing, - I thought that was clear. Sorry for my lack of English, - perhaps I misunderstood the question.
  • OK, I understand you. I think we should wrap this up with your suggestion of using "promoted" instead of "introduced" in ALT0, as follows:
  • ALT0b: ... that music publisher Henri Hinrichsen, owner of C. F. Peters in Leipzig (pictured), promoted composers such as Gustav Mahler, Max Reger, and Arnold Schönberg?
  • ALT hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Cwmhiraeth. ALT0b good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
