- Not a review, but your description of the game as relaxing is possibly OR and is best quoted directly to a reliable source describing it as such. talk) 03:38, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- Definitely not OR! The actual citation in full says "Grasobern und Wallachen sind Spiele mit relativ einfachen Regeln und daher vom Charakter her eher gemütlich. Wer sich also am Abend oder am Wochenende nicht den Denk- (Schafkopfen) und Psycho- (Watten) Stress antun möchte, ist bei diesen genau richtig." gemütlich is always difficult to translate exactly as it means a homely, cosiness, but I've used "relaxing" as the word best applying to a card game.

- I've just looked it up in an advanced dictionary. "Easy-going" refers a person who is gemütlich, along with "affable", "good-natured" and "genial". Other adjectival translations for 'things' include: cosy, comfy, comfortable, leisurely, restful, quiet and relaxed. I'll ask our English-speaking, native German expert, Gerda Arendt, what she thinks the sense of it might be in English. Gerda, you're wanted! Bermicourt (talk) 12:06, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
- I think "easy-going" and "leisurely" (different construction) might both work. Also formatted the hook. Sorry for brevity, need to go. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:12, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda Arendt. "leisurely" works for me too. Edwardx (talk) 13:21, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
- Happy with that too. Amended the hook accordingly. Bermicourt (talk) 21:05, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Full review needed now that hook has been adjusted. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:54, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and Earwig could not detect any policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:20, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

- It's really hard to second guess what readers might or might not relate to, but I've come up with this which makes it clearer what Schafkopf and Watten are about without compromising the source for the hook:

Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, and changed the lead accordingly. I added a "citation needed" tag to the last two sentences of a paragraph. Please also format the two footnotes that presented say just "Archived at the Wayback Machine". Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:24, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I've formatted the 2 archived footnotes, but couldn't track down the source for the 2 sentences tagged, so I've commented those out. Cheers. Bermicourt (talk) 08:14, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
