Working on improvement
[edit]I'll be working on this article over the next few weeks; since I'm bringing in material from reliable sources, I've altered the refimprove templates; I'll put them on the specific sections that still need work while removing the one from the article as a whole.

I was a friend and subordinate of Steve Doblin who spoke to me quite extensively about his family. I'm sure he told me that his father spent a few years in a kibbutz in Palestine around 1933. As for the family'departure from France, AD left Paris first hidden under a load of newspapers. They finally met up to take the boat together. AD had a letter from E. Roosevelt inviting him to the US. When he returned to Germany he was in a role of censor. The German intelligentsia shunned him for having taken the easy route of fleeing. Have you been in contact with Steve or his brother in Nice? (Are they still alive? Have you contacted Steve's son Francis who lives in the Paris suburb of Louveciennes? I suppose you know of the statistical breakthrough discovered by the third son in the trenches of WWII. Lisaby (talk) 21:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Request
[edit]I've put five novels into the "Major Works" section, not because I think they're the most important, but because they're the only ones I feel qualified to write about. If other editors watching this know anything about some of the other works, especially Die Ermordung einer Butterblume, Hamlet, Unser Dasein, Manas, the Amazon Trilogy, or November 1918, it would be great if we could have short blurbs on those texts in the "Major Works" section.

- Pass/Fail:
- Overall, this is a well-researched article. Add the page numbers to the Notes ("Bernhardt 2007", "Sander 2001") to complete the citations and it will be at GA level.
- Pass/Fail:
- Comments
- Why is "Gymnasium" and "Abitur" italicized WP:ITALIC?
- Seemed like the best way to mark them as foreign words not commonly used in English. Would you recommend quotes instead, or no special formatting? Sindinero (talk) 19:23, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, italics is correct then. maclean (talk) 00:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

- In "1900–1914", His most important literary work of the prewar period was his novel The Three Leaps of Wang Lun (Die drei Sprünge des Wang-lun), which he completed in May 1913 and published in 1916. - this is an opinionated claim: cite it (who says it was his most important) or be more factual (say why it was important rather than say it was important, like it won an award).
Done
- Criteria 2b. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources, the Notes section should contain page numbers in the books cited. See James Bryant Conant#Notes as an example.
- Weird. They all do have page numbers (look at the citation templates in-text that show up when you edit the page), and until very recently, showed up as such. The Harvnb template must have been changed. Any suggestion for how to fix this easily? Sindinero (talk) 19:23, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Wow, I totally didn't see them in the code. I thought it was odd that this level of research was put into the article but skipped the page notations. I checked the template page and it seems only p= is necessary, rather than page=. maclean (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- I wonder if that's a recent change in the template parameters. In any case, I'll replace page w/ p tomorrow. Sindinero (talk) 19:46, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
