 * Symbol question.svg Article is new, meets the size requirements, and the QPQ is completed. The hook is right at the 200 character limit, but otherwise acceptable, and common sense compels me not to be a stickler. I'll AGF on the offline sources and the online source is cited correctly in the article. I have a couple of concerns, however, about the content of the article. In the sentence, He selected the scene of the hero and his squire taking part in the wedding of Camacho when he was a student aged 18, I'm guessing Schiebeler is the 18-year-old student, but that could be more clear. More importantly, the last sentence of the article seems to be missing a word or two. I may, however, be wrong about that. If you could address the concerns, I will be happy to approve the article.

 * Thank you for looking closely. I tried age 18 sooner in the quoted sentence. In the last sentence, I don't known what to do. If I was sure Bach took part in the premiere, I'd say "... to music and premiered ...", but I don't know, and think it does not matter, - it's just an attempt to give the piece a date, and we (almost) never certainly know when someone composed. If you can word it better, please do so. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:52, 29 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approved. Regarding the last sentence, I was concerned by the fact that if which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach set to music, was removed, the sentence reads Schiebeler wrote the libretto for the dramatic oratorio Die Israeliten in der Wüste, premiered on 1 November 1769 in Hamburg. That just doesn't sound right. I hope the changes I have made will resolve that problem. Lepricavark (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
