[edit] Current Work: Historical states

Geopolitics over the course of history always been a fascination for me. And so I am now concentrating on bringing entries on historical states up to a suitable standard, so that they can be useful sources of information for geographical and historical purposes, and for any other purpose that I can think of. There is a huge number of historical and geographical entries which are not so easy to find. Reviving the Former Countries project and integrating it with other projects (and not just with geographical projects) is my way of solving this problem.

At the moment, I am working on cross-project collaborations and constructing any infoboxes, navbars and maps that make these articles more accessible.

As a testing area for many of the features required for this project, I have revived the previously inactive Prussia WikiProject.

[edit] Contributions

Articles that I have either created or significantly contributed to. This isn't really a chance to show off - it's just easier for me to keep track of things this way.

[edit] Entries

• Kingdom of Prussia
• Free State of Prussia
• Provinces of Prussia: Brandenburg | Jülich-Cleves-Berg | Lower Rhine | Pomerania | Saxony | Westphalia | Rhine Province | Prussia | Hohenzollern | Hanover | Hesse-Nassau | Schleswig-Holstein
• Austro-Prussian War
• Free City of Lübeck
• Greater Berlin Act

[edit] Map Gallery

• Some maps here are still under development, many haven't even been uploaded yet, and most are undergoing conversion to SVG. The "final" versions will soon be moved to the Commons.
• See my commons page for maps that I have transferred to the commons.

[edit] Infoboxes

• Infobox Historical State - a refined version of this template now exists as {{Infobox Former Country}}
• Infobox Historical Province - later became Infobox Prussian Province, but a refined generic version of this template now exists as {{Infobox Former Subdivision}}

[edit] Navbars

• {{NavPrussianProvinces}}
• {{States of the Confederation of the Rhine}}
• {{States of the German Confederation}}
• {{States of the North German Confederation}}
• {{States of the German Empire}}
• {{States of the Weimar Republic}}

[edit] Sandbox

• My test version of Infobox City
• My test version of Infobox Australian Place
• Test infobox for a possible future entry on the original NSW penal colony
• Experimenting with Sydney infobox
• Experimenting with Cologne infobox
• Sandbox
• Sandbox2
• Flags of subnational divisions of former states
• Districts of Posen - seeing if i can rework the old navbar {{NavPosenDistricts}} into something a bit more streamlined and adaptable to other provinces
• Districts of Rhine Province - testing how the Posen navbar holds up when a more detailed province is used
