[edit] Vastly improved

JHK deplored the poor state of this entry, when it was a stub. The article is now vastly improved, thanks to the kind efforts of an anonymous contributor.

It is still far too short for a city of such historical import. 86.136.215.124 23:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Is the infobox supposed to have a black background colour? The text is impossible to read, and it looks ugly. -- 168.140.181.4 03:37, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Still has further to go

"Augusta Vangionum this gave the settlement its romanized but originally Celtic name Borbetomagus." Sorry folks, but that statement is nonsensical. This is only a cursory glance. There might be more of the ilk.Dave 01:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirection

If you try to look up "Worms" in Wikipedia, instead of arriving at this article you get sent to a page about the animal, so you follow the disambiguation notice at the top, and then right at the bottom of the list is a link to this article. If the city was called "Worm" I would understand, but when looking up "Worms" I would certainly expect a serious encyclopedia to lead me to this page first. It is also interesting to note that this article is at "Worms, Germany". The title seems odd given that settlements in the United States for example, have titles of the format "Somewhere, State". Shouldn't this be at "Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate", if it needs to be disambiguated at all. These inconsistencies and national biases do make Wikipedia look incredibly amateurish. 86.136.215.124 23:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
