Speedy deletion declined: George spaeth
Hello Burpelson AFB. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of George spaeth, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''"Dr. Spaeth is considered to be one of the world's leading ophthalmologists" = a claim of importance. http://www.osnsupersite.com/view.aspx?rid=13267 shows there are sources out there.''' Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 15:13, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Germanenzug
Dear Burpelson,

I am since about 50 years a Brucknerfreak and I guess with some acquired expertise.

The last months I have improved almost all existing pages on the works of the composer, which were sometimes written by people who had read books on Bruckner, but presumably had not listened carefully to the concerned works, so that they had transcribed obvious errors that were present in these books. Furthermore I have created the following new pages on works of this composer: Mass No. 1 (Bruckner), Festive Cantata (Bruckner), Four Orchestral Pieces (Bruckner), Overture (Bruckner), Psalm 22 (Bruckner), Psalm 114 (Bruckner), Psalm 112 (Bruckner), Psalm 146 (Bruckner). Today I have created the new page Germanenzug.

Before creating these wiki-pages I have always listened several times, carefully to the concerned work, sometimes looked too at the score, and made a search on relevant references, including the available recordings of the works. For the non-orchestral works I am in contact with the specialist Hans Roelofs. Hans has always found my pages OK.

I am of course not native English-speaking. My style is for sure not perfect and could indeed be improved. However, it is the first time that I get such a critic, i.e., that my page is not Wiki OK.

Germanenzug is a "forgotten" work of the composer for which there is only one recording and very few available references. I guess you will not easily find someone who has adequate knowledge of the work and can amend this page.

 * I have asked Hans Roelofs for an independent expert review. Globally, he agrees with the content. He ask me only to improve somewhat the third paragraph.
 * Hans, who is native Dutch-speaking, has a PhD in the Germanic languages and is writing his website about Bruckner's critical discography in German. He has found two minor typos (I will correct them). For the remaining he finds that the page is well-styled in grammatically and idiomatically correct English".

 * Thank you for your reply. Please let me know when the other editor has reviewed it, so that I can take advantage of his/her review for writing my next pages. Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 18:32, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have done some reordering of the text, so that I think it looks now more "encyclopaedic" and less "journalistic". It looks now more like other pages on Bruckner's works by other contributors or myself. If you agree, I propose to remove the maintenance tags.
