@Dank: Looks good at first glance, apart from the last line. The taxa named in his honour are different from the taxa he described. I'd drop the some...honour but add something about his most significant guidebook. Let me have a play. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dank: I've moved some things around; what do you think? Josh Milburn (talk) 20:19, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's 1193 characters now. The max is 1025. Find a couple of sentences to cut. - Dank (push to talk) 20:33, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Leave it with me. Josh Milburn (talk) 05:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've cut it down; I think we're where we need to be now, though I may have cut it a little too far... Josh Milburn (talk) 18:00, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1019, length is great, but it would be better to translate the German title. - Dank (push to talk) 18:12, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great; used the English title, and now at 1024 words. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:55, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Tiny tweak to make the copyeditors happy. Looks great. - Dank (push to talk) 19:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
