# Talk:Preise, Jerusalem, den Herrn, BWV 119

The source says "the spiritual rather than the secular authority has the last word", - the article says "implying that earthly powers do not last, but God – the supreme ruler – is entitled to have the last word." I suggest to better quote the source because it does not support "earthly powers do not last", nor "the supreme ruler". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

What they celebrate is "1000-jährige urkundliche Ersterwähnung Leipzigs", first mentioning of Leipzig in a document. I don't know if "founding" is the right term for that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:49, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay, open to alternatives, but "1000 years Leipzig" doesn't make sense in English. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:31, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
I didn't know the proper term, do you? There must be one. For the church it's easier: the building. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
I see you do. Will try to remember "recorded mentioning", --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

### Well written
Overall absolutely acceptable. Two quibbles which I would raise:

History and words - 'Bach could count on the entire council (his employer) listening, and likely also civil servants' - 'probably' is better than 'likely' in colloquial English.
Scoring and structure - I suggest adding 'the musicologist' or 'the editor' before 'Alfred Durr' so that it is clear where this is coming from.


### Verifiable with no original research
Well sourced and cited as one would expect from this editor.


### Broad in its coverage, Neutral
Exemplary on both counts and well-focussed.


### Stable
No problems


### Images
Appropriate images and clear tables


### Summary
I have no problems in passing this for GA, but the editor might like to take a look at the two quibbles under "Well-written".--Smerus (talk) 11:04, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
