Oh, no no no! I mean, I can't say for sure selenak hasn't done *any* Wikipedia updating (though I doubt she's had the time), but I personally
1) don't make Wikipedia contributions ever, 2) don't have enough German to update articles for people who aren't notable enough to qualify for English Wikipedia!
Plus, these particular updates came as a surprise for both of us, we're still looking for sources for some of them, and we're reeeeaallly skeptical about that 1738 date, and somewhat skeptical about 1755.
I mean, much of the recent activity has been an improvement, in part thanks to Kloosterhuis, but neither she nor I would have written many of these inadequately cited and occasionally suspicious looking claims.
What one of us who speaks German should do (*looks hintingly in the direction of our German speaker*) is add a "citation needed" in the Fredersdorf article for the embezzlement claim! I don't contribute to Wikipedia articles, but I have been known to ask for citations.
