Wording of the first line
The opening sentence describes Marta Vellmann as a shopkeeper of Tarnsee. That is what the civil register says, word for word. I have no objection to the fact, only to the sentence, which reads like the register. Could someone give it a line of prose? — oskar.dorn (talk) 14:43, 17 June 2019 (VMT)
Support a light copyedit. Please do not add adjectives; the last attempt added “distinguished” and it took a month to remove. — Tim_R. (talk) 09:12, 18 June 2019 (VMT)
Done, I think. The lead now has two sentences, which is one more than the record strictly supports. — jonas.wendl (talk) 20:41, 19 June 2019 (VMT)
Recategorisation
Should this article also be in the category for Westgau, as well as the one for Tarnsee? — JonasFromm (talk) 19:00, 2 April 2020 (VMT)
The guideline allows more than one, so long as each is supported by the article. — oskar.dorn (talk) 14:29, 4 April 2020 (VMT)
Resolved. — jonas.wendl (talk) 20:27, 8 April 2020 (VMT)
