Thank you for the list. (I formatted it a bit. please don't use <br>, ever, on Wikipedia. It confuses the colours of the editor. If you need a new line - which should be rarely - please use <br />.) I believe they should all be changed, and often possibly better to use the original name than the invention of an English-styled name. Using no full stop in a German name is a mistake even.

OK, thank you for the info concerning <br />. —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 08:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for planning Oberkirche, Arnstadt! I'd use it that way in articles, and give the translation, upper church, only in that article. - Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to meet you, too :) It's been a while since our little conversation back then … —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 08:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I checked a few from the list and saw that they are just redirects, which can stay, of course. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I moved those that were no redirects. All articles would profit from further work, - I saw the name of the location bolded, but it's not part of the name, saw too complicated location, missing original names ... - but have no time right now. Back to BWV 4: the name of the church is Divi Blasii, not Divi Blasii Church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'll change it in a moment. I'm going to have a look at the other articles, too. —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 08:27, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Divi Blasii, I changed already. Just in general, a mix of Latin and English is not good for a name ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt – that's right. – I just finished Oberkirche, Arnstadt. Perhaps you are also interested in Liebfrauenkirche, Arnstadt? By the way, Johann Ernst Bach I – a cousin of Johann Sebastian – was organist at both churches. —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for exquisite articles. It would be nice to show them to the world on the Main page, but they would have to be fully loaded with inline citations. (compare Unionskirche Idstein) Perhaps that would work for specific pieces of art? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be nice. The source articles regrettably don't have more citations, however; I already took over all of them – and I currently don't have any literature on the subject. —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 06:46, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just finished St.-Jakobus-Kirche, Ilmenau – unfortunately, there are very few sources too … —Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 12:01, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt – I'm planning to translate/develop articles about the Mühlhausen churches – luckily I possess some literature about them which I can properly cite. Maybe there will be chances then for a DYK nomination or even Good Article status … –Anton Maienfeldt (talk) 12:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good. I'd normally go for the original names. Both St and St. look strange for Protestant churches, St even stranger. There are a few buildings such as Cologne Cathedral which are widely covered in English, but for churches with mostly German sources, we can use the German names. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:24, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oberkirche, Bad Frankenhausen moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Oberkirche, Bad Frankenhausen, is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There are large sections which are wholly uncited. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
