1523 works

This is categorised as "1523 works" yet the year 1523 isn't mentioned at all. The Rambling Man ( talk) 06:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply

1522/23 is mentioned. We'll never know for sure, but this was translated. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
So it's probably better off being a Category:1520s works, right? The Rambling Man ( talk) 18:26, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Then it would be 1520s in English, but 1523 in German. The Gotteslob says simply 1523. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:36, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Gerda, I'm just asking the cats to reflect the article. The Rambling Man ( talk) 19:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
It's not that easy. The main source, the book in which it appears, has one year, - just the scientists are more careful. "1520s" doesn't reflect "1523 the latest", which is important compared to Luther's 1524. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:17, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Well the cat and the article should say the same thing. If there's any doubt, it should be 1520s. The Rambling Man ( talk) 20:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
The German article just says 1523. I am close to adopting that. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Whatever the RS say. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:49, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
One source says 1522/23, several say simply 1523. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:57, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
So to be safe, it's 1520s. The Rambling Man ( talk) 04:34, 11 May 2017 (UTC) reply
I worded differently. 1522/23 may mean "we don't know" or "begun in 1522, completed in 1523". The books I can see where it's printed today say simply 1523, so do I now. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC) reply
