Is my temp article acceptable? Jwrosenzweig 17:52, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Given that it's vastly superior to its counterpart on the de: encyclopedia (which seems more concerned with Bruce Willis, for some reason I can't quite fathom) then my answer is a resounding yes. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 19:22, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Thanks, Finlay. I've given Bruce a sentence. Is there a reason to wait, or do we just push it up now? Jwrosenzweig 19:32, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I don't know what our copyright policy is in this regard. Bah, push it up now! -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:23, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)


Idar-Oberstein (known in some circles as "The Gemstone Capital")

No, it IS the official Gemstone Capital and the centre of Gemstone industry. In our encyclopedia Idar-Oberstein is named as The German Capital of Gemstone Industry ... so I would strike out known in some circles. But so far ... very good article! :-) Greetings from Germany Rkal Ger 16:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Search

I noticed that a search for Idar Oberstein (without the hyphen) was not successful in Wikipedia.

I added it as a local name, but didn't solve the problem.

Any suggestions?
