Igni, on Dec 24 2006 I made some edits to the intro to correct some deficiences introduced by your uncertain grasp of the English language. You reverted some of them with the comment "providing adequate semantic naturalness for a clear, yet simple, précis", which illustrates the point. You are in love with the words, but are a little fuzzy on the meaning and application of your too-extensive vocabulary. No well educated native English speaker would use "semantic" to modify "naturalness". And the problem shows up in the opening phrase of your article: "Weimar Classicism...is an oft-disputed cultural and literary movement of Europe...". Goethean, above, was either too gentle or ironic in pointing out the problem with this sentence, albeit he was apparently addressing an earlier version. Weimar Classicism's tenets may have been controversial but its existance as a movement is not, so it is just as much an error to say it is "oft-disputed" as it was to say "according to MANY historiana and scholars..." which implies that there are other historians and acholars who think it is something else, or didn't exist at all. I wish you all the best with your project, but you need to be aware of this problem with your prose style in English.  14:20, 18 January 2007
