@Renerpho and Gerda Arendt: Needs, a QPQ. I am AGF with the German sources, but everything else looks good --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 14:18, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Caligula (Lingua Ignota album). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Guerillero, and thanks Gerda Arendt for the QPQ review. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with here. Renerpho (talk) 15:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

ready to go --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 15:46, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is not interesting. Could you add something more hooky than a resume item? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't want to mention why he became minister of finance, for BLP reasons, but it's the most sensational think in HIS life. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Second thought: we might say that he made it from butcher to minister of finance, but that could be misinterpreted, no? So I still think the simple fact would be the most decent way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:51, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Just a question: does taking the Master exam for butchery mean being a licensed butcher? If that were the case, a hook that went "that Michael Boddenberg, the Minister of Finance for the German state of Hesse, is a licensed butcher?" might work and be accurate.

The German Meister is not equal to the English "master", so whatever we say might mislead those who think they know. Sorry. Meister means the certificate to train apprentices in whatever craft (Handwerk), see "The Master craftsman is the highest professional qualification in crafts and is a state-approved grade." - not to be confused with Masters exams. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Michael Boddenberg (pictured), the new Minister of Finance in the state of Hesse, Germany, once directed a school for butchers and bakers? Yoninah (talk) 16:34, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Fine with me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. @Guerillero: or @Narutolovehinata5: could you review ALT1? Yoninah (talk) 22:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

The next sentence has a two citations (in german) that I assume back this up --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:24, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Little problem: #1 doesn't, saying discretely "private Fachschule" + the name (private trade school?), the other which specified it is a trade paper for butchers but no longer accessible without subscription, so I'm reluctant. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Problem solved, found a ref. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
