Happy to take this on. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:15, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Can we say something like (German for "I am content in my good fortune") in the lead, and also in similar cases in the main article?

compare BWV 65 --GA

Fine, if it is not the norm, no need. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 07:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• Would be good to add "composer" or perhaps "German composer" before Bach.

compare BWV 65 --GA

• and Bach led the first performance Remove "Bach", appears redundant.

yes --GA

• Can "elegiac" be linked?

yes --GA

• he wrote also this text appears a bit confusing. The line cold be rephrased as The text is similar to a cantata text Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Stande (I am content with my position), published by Picander in 1728; however, it is not certain that he wrote both the texts.

that is in more detail below, I changed "this text" to "the cantata text"

History and words

• You may wish to repeat the links from the lead in the main article.

I hesitate to link Leipzig, for example, because its well known, plus the present-day city has little in common with the one at Bach's time --GA

Not every link, whichever you think fine. :) Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 07:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• BWV 144, in 1724 Comma after 1724.

done --GA

• "gospel" may be linked.

would you link bible? --GA

Links really confuse me, even Bible is linked in some articles. Whichever you think fine. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 07:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• in the general way that the Christian should be content with his share of good fortune, without envy of others who may seem more fortunate I am not very sure what it means.

there are many ways of being content, Picander (or whoever the librettist was) deals with this way --GA

• Bach led the first performance, probably on 9 February 1727 You say "probably" here, but uncertainty is not implied in the lead.

changed --GA

• Would be good to mention the author's name in the image caption.

yes, but it's awfully long and presented right next to the image --GA

Selected recordings

• Who is Aryeh Oron? You need to present people.

the author of Bach-Cantatas, but we can do without mentioning him --GA

Not adamant on this, but the mention won't do any harm. Unless it is a well-known personality in this field, the mention of a name like this is often confusing. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 07:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• on the Bach-Cantatas website Perhaps add "official" to this, as there could be many others of the same sort but unofficial?

compare BWV 65

Ignore if it is not an official website. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 07:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Music

• "recitative", linked in sections "2" and "4", is a duplink.

done --GA

Rest looks good. Would be glad to promote once the above issues are addressed. Cheers! Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 09:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
