Der Nordstern

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting, on good sources. I can't see #5 in my country, but accept it AGF, no copyvio obvious. I think it should be "US" or "U.S.", no? How about the translation of the title in the hook? We also need (pictured). - In the article, please check German language vs. German-language. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:43, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

 * You are quick! I was just in the middle of doing the same repairs to the article and also added a reference. Now complete. Ultracobalt (talk) 02:48, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Per discussion at WP:ERRORS2, this hook had to be pulled before making it to the main page. There is a discrepancy between the source (which says "largest north of Minneapolis") and the hook, which says "one of the largest in the state". One does not necessarily imply the other.

 * Re-listed., would you address the concern when you have the chance? Cheers, Alex Shih (talk) 08:05, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ultracobalt hasn't edited since late September, or some time before the hook was pulled. as you are a German speaker, would you be willing to adopt this nomination or at least be able to help out in addressing the article issues? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not today. Actually, this being a US paper, I don't think it needs much knowledge of German. Anybody could look for a hook, and I am not known for being successful at it, rather for approving one with problems. Sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:18, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * How about
 * ALT1: ... that the German-language weekly Der Nordstern (The North Star, pictured) in the U.S. state of Minnesota once claimed the largest circulation of any newspaper north of Minneapolis?

 * Thanks, . I think that works. This really could have been fixed easily, although I think I was too tired also to make the tweak myself, so I blame myself. I'll put this back to prep shortly. Alex Shih (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Good to go now? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:42, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
