Bruchsal Palace was a Art and architecture good articles nominee, but did not meet the
good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be
renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the 18th-century Schloss Bruchsal(pictured) in southwest Germany contains an elaborate
Baroque staircase that has been described as "ingenious and ravishing"?

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline
(b)
reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)
Not a requirement for GA, but it would be good to include an image of the palace ruins after World War II. I would think a fair use claim would work.
We have "Zick and Balthasar Neumann, the main designer of the corp de logis", but later "The main part of the building was designed by Baron Anselm von Grünstein": aren't these in conflict? You do say Balthasar took over as Chief Engineer and constructed the staircase, but that's not the same as saying he took over as designer.
It was created to resolve an architectural conundrum created by von Schönborn's late decision to add a mezzanine floor to the corp de logis: two uses of "created" in close succession; can we rephrase?
That's all I can find; the article is in excellent shape. The sources look OK, though I see many of them are tourist guides rather than specialist publications: in case you are considering taking this to FAC, I would suggest looking at the German version of the article, which lists several sources that appear to cover the palace complex in detail in the "Literatur" section.

Mike Christie, unfortunately
Prioryman's most recent Wikipedia edit was on March 27, so after so long an absence I rather doubt he's going to be replying to this review, especially since he was pinged on his talk page over two weeks ago. I think you're going to have to fail this. I apologize for not having checked his activity level before I asked you to take over the review.
