[edit]
- ... that the Tauzieher (pictured), a statue in Rheinauhafen, ended up being twice the size of what was originally planned?
- ALT1:... that the scaffolding for the Tauzieher (pictured), a statue in Rheinauhafen, was erected in 1910, and the statue was completed in 1911?

Translation from German wiki but have you verified the sources? I'd replace with ones you can verify yourself in google books as much as you can.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:10, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- Looked at them in snippet view, at the most, and seem OK. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 21:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- Really? How did you find Localanzeiger: Nr. 83 vom, Kölnisches Tageblatt Nr. 435, ? Just scrap the sources and at least ry to replce them with fuller google book sources. It doesn't take look to google info and try to pick up something. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:44, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
- I mean that I found many of them. Anyway, I have loaded the article with Google Books sources. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 21:57, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

You sure this has been copyedited after the translation?♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:58, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Done. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 09:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Looks OK to me, but I'm sure our resident expert will decide on whether its good to go or not, Ceocil?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:15, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Ahem, hold on. The original hook is misleading and the second is way blah. I propose:
- ALT2 ... that the 1911 Tauzieher sculpture at the Cologne docks depicts a man securing a hawser to a bollard in a style reminiscent of the Belvedere Torso?
- ALT3 ... that the 1911 Tauzieher sculpture in Cologne depicts a worker tying a rope to a bollard as a "Herculean" nude? Yngvadottir (talk) 21:42, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Should be good to go this time, any hook suggestion will do..♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:09, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
