 * Reviewed: to come
 * Comment: The image shows the style, even if we can't read every word. Hook suggestions welcome.

 * I fixed some typos. Could you please address the 'citation needed' issue?Zigzig20s (talk) 00:19, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The tone is neutral. No copyright violation detected.
 * The hook is short enough.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The hook is a bit long-winded. Could you please find a hookier one?Zigzig20s (talk) 00:30, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking, busy today. I can't get shorter than "Warum?", an existential question, when dealing with two motets with long titles. More tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Please ping me when you do. Thanks.Zigzig20s (talk) 14:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Zigzig20s, well, I fixed the citation before you asked here. - I think mentioning the well-known Book of Job is better than saying "sacred motets" which has caused readers to ask what's sacred about them - while sacred music is simply a term for music on Christian texts with no liturgical church function, such as Ein deutsches Requiem, which is not a Requiem. When we'll sing it (No. 1) later this months, the piece is simply called Warum?. Listen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Good to go!Zigzig20s (talk) 16:48, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg	Hi, I came by to promote this, but there is no QPQ and I can't find an inline cite for the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 19:55, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Robyn Benincasa. - I repeated the ref to the first sentence. The motif comes in measures 1, 25, 51, and at the end on page 3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. I found the cite to Job that I was looking for, and added it. Restoring tick per Zigzig20s' review. Yoninah (talk) 22:39, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
