Review commentary

 * Notified Deus Ex, Chris 73, and WikiProjects: Catholicism, Germany, Architecture, and Christianity.

Cathedral of Magdeburg was promoted in 2004 - No inline citations, WP:LEAD is a bit short, mixed styles of listing versus paragraph formats, flow of the article could be better. Primarily 1c issues, (though 1a and 1b could probably do with reexamination) and also this image Image:DomzuMagdeburg.jpg needs more info filled out. Cirt (talk) 02:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Needs a lot of work - pretty clearly mostly a translation, which shows in the prose. Linking is really terrible - Archbishopric of Magdeburg, Albert of Mainz, Thirty Years War, Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly and many many others are missing. There is, for once, a lot on the architecture & art, but it does not seem written with much knowlege of the subject, and has little to say on style etc, mostly just giving sizes and subjects like a poor guidebook. The article does not tell you that the Archbishop was a secular ruler for most of the Middle Ages. Johnbod (talk) 17:58, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
