[edit] Location Image

Location is not loading properly, I believe this is due to the image of the coat of arms not being of the same size as the location image, weird I know, but that seems to be what is happening... at least in my browser (Camino v1.0)

[edit] Template:Infobox German Location

Please introduce the Infobox German Location. It provides a coherent look among German cities. Lear 21 22:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Put Germany towns map

14-Sep-2007: I haved added a quick map of Germany (extended from the CIA map), to show Dortmund nearby other towns. Most maps out there are not readable in a wiki article, due to tiny lettering. An entire map-subculture has grown around blank, jigsaw ink-blot maps showing an unlabeled region with a shaded jigsaw area. In fact, readable maps are so rare in WP, they almost seem magical: the trick is font-size, with 1-pixel thickness for EACH 250px of map width, when full-size. As a map is down-scaled, the lettering tends to blur; however, a 750px map can be scaled to 250px as readable, when lettering has 3-pixel thickness. Shaded lettering could also appear visible with a similar 2-pixel + gray-pixel shading. However, map labels of 1-pixel thickness are almost always invisible when resized onto a WP article page. To improve map readability, label the towns with wider fonts, as 2-pixel thickness or more. -Wikid77 04:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
