[edit] Criticism

Could we have a "Criticism" headline? I think there is lots to put in there. 84.128.232.7 (talk)

[edit] JFK

In the quotes JFK thought he said he was a citizen but a mis translation went awry and he said he was a doughnut. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.66.109 (talk) 21:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

No, what he said was just fine. Please read Ich bin ein Berliner. —Angr 21:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

In some parts of Germany "Berliner" means both a citizen of Berlin and something like a doughnut. However, when saying "ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a Berliner"), it is screamingly obvious that he is talking about the city. 85.178.51.86 (talk) 16:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Soccer matches in berlin 27th April - 29th April

I am going to be in Berlin between the above dates, I really would like to experience a game whilst there. Can anyone help? i know football is played m,ainly on a saturday but was wondering if the are teams from lower leagues playing on other days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.96.70.122 (talk) 10:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

All I can find at http://www.berlin.de/special/sport-und-fitness/events/ is a team handball game on the 27th. —Angr 19:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please give your opinion about Proposal II which will define Central Europe

Give your support or opposition at the Central Europe talk page, since we are looking for a single definition for it. It's very important. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 17:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you all that participated and gave their opinion on Proposal II.

Proposal II was approved, 13 editors supported it and 5 editors opposed it. Proposal II is now in effect and it redefined Central Europe. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 23:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
