• ... that the Bern Disputation of 1528 led to the Swiss canton becoming the second Protestant canton in the Swiss Confederacy? Source: "[The Bern Disputation was] The decisive point in the contest which definitely established the Reformation at Bern." https://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/encyc/encyc02/htm/iv.iv.cxxxi.htm Additional source: "Berne ... was the first to follow Zurich, after considerable hesitation. This was an event of decisive importance." (page 103, and see the confirmation on page 106 that the disputation was the event that established Protestantism in the canton.) https://archive.org/details/historyofchris07scha/page/102/mode/2up

• Article is new [created on November 21, 2022] and long enough [Prose size (text only): 4364 characters], sourced. There are issues related to [copyright violations]. @Awsomaw: Please copy edit the section "The Ten Theses". Thanks RV (talk) 17:17, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• @RAJIVVASUDEV: The text cited is open source. I have tried to reflect this by updating the citation material. Let me know if this works. Awsomaw (talk) 17:45, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Also, the creation date was technically November 23, 2022, when it was moved from my userspace into the mainspace.Awsomaw (talk) 21:50, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

• @Awsomaw: Noted all. However, we must continue to improve because the [Earwig score is high]. Thanks RV (talk) 02:40, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

• @RAJIVVASUDEV: I understand that Earwig is high, but it is only highlighting sections of the article that is public domain (not open source, sorry for the confusing terminology). I am under the impression that this is perfectly fine according to WP:COPYVIO. Let me know if I am wrong. Awsomaw (talk) 14:32, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

• @Awsomaw: Thank you for the changes and your hard work, which appear to be satisfactory to me because I've been involved in this for far too long and should let someone else come to a conclusion and make a decision. Regards RV (talk) 11:24, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

@Awsomaw: Good article but one problem with the hook. What swiss canton? The link to the swiss canton in the hook directs to list of cantons, not A canton. I want some specificity there before I approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:35, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Good catch. I've updated it to Canton of Bern. I just updated the original hook instead of making a new one since its such a small change. Awsomaw (talk) 21:54, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I feel as if it would be better to say that it was the canton of bern but I'll approve it regardless. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:40, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Onegreatjoke Awsomaw I don't see where it mentions "becoming the second Protestant canton in the Swiss Confederacy" in the source in this nomination, as well as the different source in the article. SL93 (talk) 21:33, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

@SL93: I've added an additional source to confirm this, which was the source in the article. I've indicated the exact quote and page number for this claim. Please let me know if this suffices. Awsomaw (talk) 22:03, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
