- Hey, thanks for taking this on. The article is fairly concise, but there are very few sources on this specific topic, so I think I've done my best to meet the GA criteria. Focus (talk) 13:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I think the article is very comprehensive, considering that the poem is not so famous.
Nice small article, however:
- The lead does not fully summarize the article, for example that it was written between August 4 and October 25, 1897.
- Article now contains every fact in the lead. I have also removed citations in the lead that are used elsewhere in the article.
- "and was later published in Berlin in 1899" - the exact date?
- Unfortunately the sources do not contain the date, only the year.
- No spaced m-dashes, per WP:MDASH
- Changed to spaced n-dashes.
- "This reflects the fact that the piece does not attempt to convey a story," - Could be simply "The piece..."
- I've made it more concise, but I think it should still have some sort of link to the preceding sentence.
- "poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life)" - the underlined should be italicized
- Done
- ""I have just received your second work "The Hero's Song"" - "The Hero's Song" should be 'The Hero's Song'
- Done
- To avoid the note at the end "(referring to The Wild Dove as "the first").[7]:209" You can reword the quote as following: "I have just received your second work "The Hero's Song" and, as with [The Wild Dove], am quite enchanted with it"
- Done
- " Dvořák was present at the premier and had planned to conduct it himself in with" - strange wording
- Fixed
- "The piece had
beenbeen performed the previous day,"
- Fixed
- "(see Symphonic poems (Liszt)" - seems to fail WP:YOU
- I linked Liszt's conception instead, hopefully this is better.
- I think scherzo should not be italicized as being a common word in the music jargon
- Done
- The sources are very good.--Tomcat (7) 16:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
