Created by TheBritinator (talk). Self-nominated at 22:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gebhard Schädler; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Comment What the (German) source says is that the doctor was the first where we have certainty that he was academically trained. Or in other words, there may be earlier ones as well, but we can’t say that with certainty. That’s another "first" hook that must be rejected. Schwede66 17:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • TheBritinator, can you please provide an alternative hook? Schwede66 16:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • ALT1 checks out. That said, I suggest that the words "academically trained" aren't necessary, hence the hook could be simplified. I haven't done the other DYK checks; hence no tick. Schwede66 20:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Full review needed now that an alternative hook has been suggested. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
    Ready to review. User:TheBritinator, User:Schwede66, I think ALT1 is too ambiguous - unclear on first reading what "for 12 years" means, - "12, not 10?", I thought. Put it at the beginning please or rephrase differently. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
    Having looked closer, I don't think the whole duration thing is worth pursuing, - the first source I read has "einige Jahre" (several years), no precise 12, and I don't see 12 in the article either. How about the first smallpox vacc and/or the midwives' training, instead of just a time? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:41, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
    We could also say that he treated the poor and the court officials for nothing, probably had to for the latter. Landesphysicus - no idea how that would translate, sort of State Physician. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
    I believe that this document should be part of the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:52, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
    The article is practically written on one source which we will have to accept, as it is a solid encyclopedia. I'd like a bit of a summary in the lead, and think we can't just say master's degree for the historic Magister which was rather an equivalent to today's doctorate (which needs to be explained). Waiting for a hook or two, and these changes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Just going to withdraw this to be honest, I have no desire to improve it anymore as I don't believe it is as good for DYK as I did 2 months ago. Thanks for everyone's time. TheBritinator (talk) 15:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
