[edit] Heggbach Abbey

Thanks for your note. It is an interesting article, and I was especially glad to see it as I had been unable to find very much about Hbach on the internet. Thanks also for Rot a/d Rot and Wiblingen. HeartofaDog (talk) 18:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Söflingen Abbey

Updated DYK query On 6 March 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Söflingen Abbey, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Army aviation

I've noticed you've been adding a rather lengthy list of world army air arms to several such articles. This got me thinking that perhaps it's time to create a dedicated article on the subject, where we can also list those article, saving space in the national articles. There is a category at Category:Army aviation, so I think Army aviation (this currently redirects to Military aviation) is a good title. Any comments or ideas? Perhaps there's a simliar article on one of the interwikis that can be translated as a starting point, or used for sources. - BillCJ (talk) 20:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Sounds like a good idea to me. The one I am most familiar with is the one on Army Aviation on the German wikipedia(de:wikipedia:Heeresflieger). Although it is mostly concerned with the German Army Aviators Corps, it, as well as the other ones in the category you mentioned, does contain some general information which could be used to start a new article on Army Aviation. And from then on, only the sky's the limit. However, at the mo I don't have that much time to begin the work but I promise to do so at the end of March. Cheers.

That sounds good. I've got a simple sandbox page started at User:BillCJ/Sandbox/Army aviation. - BillCJ (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice one. Once I am less preoccupied with work and real life (it's still out there) I'll start translating and including the bits and bobs from the other languages as well as the stuff I have here. Of course, feel free to start anyway. Cheers Ekki01 (talk) 17:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008
From the editor

This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk
Other areas where you can help
  • Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page.
  • More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics:
    • Transportation in Germany
    • German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians)
    • German Democratic Republic

Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

  • Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news
  • Cities and municipalities task force

The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here

  • Article Assessment:

There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.

[edit] Haim Laskov

Hi, I've reverted your edit to Haim Laskov. The article PPE is a disambiguation page and misleads the reader. Wikipedia guidelines dictate that there should be no links to disambiguation pages from articles except in hatnotes, see also, and other special cases. I have also realized that my version was broken because of a line break (accidential), which I've fixed. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 20:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

You were absolutely right in doing so. No problem, mate. Perhaps next time I ought to delve deeper. :-) Ekki01 (talk) 21:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
