[edit] infiltration

i infiltrated (urban exploration) a part of the memorial (under the "flags"). i've taken photos...it is pretty interesting, i think it is mostly just for maintenance of the memorial, though. if this might be of any use to the article, post in reply here and ill set up a way to see the photos...

[edit] Names of the two memorials

I've moved the monument to its own article (Soviet War Memorial, Berlin) and expanded it, but this now raises the question of what we should call the yet-unwritten article about the Tiergarten monument. I've provisionally added links to Soviet Memorial, Berlin-Tiergarten, but realize that this pairing might not be ideal. There seems to be little consistency on the use of names of either, so we might want to move them both to Soviet War Memorial, Berlin-Treptow and Soviet War Memorial, Berlin-Tiergarten or a similar parallel formulation.

The Memorial to Polish Soldiers and German Anti-Fascists, Berlin might also want a less verbose title, but I have to finish writing it first.

in de.wp the articles are named de:Sowjetisches Ehrenmal (Tiergarten), de:Sowjetisches Ehrenmal (Treptower Park) and (not yet existing) de:Sowjetisches Ehrenmal (Schönholzer Heide) (but there is already an image: commons:Image:Berlin Ehrenmal Schoenholz.JPG). In Commons there is also a gallery for the Tiergarten memorial: commons:Sowjetisches Ehrenmal (Tiergarten). greetings. --BLueFiSH ✉ 18:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Yep, we might want to follow this precedent, although perhaps retaining the "Berlin" in the title as well. I think "Berlin-Schönholz" might do just as well without the "Heide", that's how I've heard it described, and an article about it would be good (I walked past it an hour ago, I should have taken pictures) though the other two I mentioned are more pressing. I might write the Polish memorial article tonight, as I took some pictures a couple of days ago.  ProhibitOnions  ^(T) 18:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
