"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,... who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;

who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly"

Theodore Roosevelt

Suggestion for articles to translate

• Nibelungenhalle in Königswinter → An English page does not exist. (610 wtt)
• Clemens August Graf von Galen - Historische Bedeutung → The English page on him mentions that he can be seen critically because he criticized the euthanasia project, but not against the mass murder of Jewish people. The German page has a section dedicated to this topic which might also be interesting for the English page. (~750 wtt)
• KKK in Germany → The English page mentions very briefly the spread of the KKK movement to other countries and it might be interesting to add a subsection to that. (~820 wtt)
• Erzgebirgische Volkskunst → The English page has only an introductory paragraph on the topic. (~1270 wtt)
• Max Klinger → This task would be an extension of the English page. (~2080 wtt)
• Badische Zeitung → The English article only has about three sentences, so it might be interesting to extend that article. (~640 wtt)
• Lichterengel → There is no English article for this topic, but maybe it is already mentioned in another article on Christmas decoration. (~630 wtt)
• Friedrich Naumann - Politik, Friedrich Naumann - Kritik an Naumann → An English article on Friedrich Naumann already exists, but it doesn't talk much about his policies. (~690 wtt)
• Ernst Fraenkel → Important stations in Fraenkel's life are briefly mentioned in the English article, but it could be extended. (~5200 wtt)
• Wilhelm von Humboldt - Biographie →Von Humboldt's work, especially for the education system, is on the English article, but the section on his biography consists of only two sentences. Since the German page has a pretty extensive record of his life, it probably has to be shortened quite a bit. (~3900 wtt)
