[edit] Original translation request from German

Completed. Chonak 04:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notes in progress

• A snapshot of the German original article was here for translation use; since the translation is nearly done, this is no longer needed and I have removed it. Chonak 06:26, 18 June 2006

NB: A paragraph about the status of East Berlin and its citizens, commented out in the West Berlin-East Berlin section, remains to be translated. After the History section (Chronik) is completed, review against the original. Chonak 06:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• The quotation marks that were around "capital of the GDR" in the intro referred to the point that that status as capital was asserted by the East German regime, but not recognized by three of the four powers with jurisdiction over Berlin. It would be good to keep that detail in by referring to, e.g., "East Berlin (declared to be the capital of the GDR)." Chonak 22:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Chonak, please note, I attempted to gracefully circumvent the "trap" which prohibited the quotation marks to be retained meaningfully in the English version; to clarify that the GDR was "unrecognized" (by the FDR), I provided a link to the corresponding article, Exclusive Mandate, in German de:Alleinvertretungsanspruch.
