 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long enough, new enough, no copyvios, no policy problems, QPQ done. Hook is not too long, interesting and sourced (though it needs clicking through to ). Perhaps change "the viol player" to "viola da gamba player instead? And we can change "founder" to "co-founder" to celebrate an old Wikipedia tradition, but that is entirely optional.

 * Thank you! I am always open for suggestions to improve the language, not being a native speaker of English. I thought "viola da gamba player" was a typical German construction, but if you go for it ... - I don't like any link before the subject, - I guess people who don't know viola da gamba canbe sure to find out cia his article. (I remember passing posters for a concert with VIOLA DA GAMBA, and a shopkeeper asked: What's the name of that girl?)

for ALT1. (Note: I'm not a native English speaker either, so I guess someone will tell us if it isn't the best hook after all) Fram (talk) 08:24, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
