New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook facts are in source and cited, AGF on German. Image is PD (but it is from 2004... I wish one more recent were available to show the changes). No issues. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 19:54, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sammi Brie Actually, I hadn't noticed that that one is from 2004. Here's another image from the page, though this one from April 18, 2012. Any chance this one could be used instead? Rufus the Unqualified (talk) 00:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes. I went ahead and replaced File:Gnadenkirche-2.jpg with what you sent. (Refactored the comments a bit for clarity.) Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 02:06, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
