Hi, Alison, nice to meet you. Your article was mentioned on my talk. It's too great for Wikipedia as it is, sorry. Please first read the guidelines above, and then decide how to work on it, possibly by first having a much smaller subset. The title is not good to start with, because there was no Protestant music before the Reformation, - Protestant music would do. You may want to contact project Classical music. Please read existing articles such as the section in Martin Luther, List of hymns by Martin Luther, Lutheran hymn, - to get a feeling for what is already there (and should not be repeated, but linked to), and its writing style. - I am busy with a little part of it, Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227. - Quite generally: I'd recommend to first make small changes to existing articles first before trying something substantial. The article Motet (Bach) would need corrections, for example, as I found out working on the other. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:06, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Allison, I think your article is close to being ready for publishing. If you follow at least some of Gerda's advice and also somewhat reduce the strong, forceful tone of your article, I think it would be better received. The topic for your article is one that has been desired for nearly a decade now. I intend to add it to one or more templates when you are done, so it will be easily accessible to those who read it. Lastly, should you consistently get a harsh treatment by the Articles for Creation reviewers, it is possible to bypass review, especially for a well-referenced article that is on a desired topic (like yours is). In the meantime, I intend to edit it myself a bit, if you don't mind. If you revert me, I will not challenge you; it is your article after all.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:00, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
