[edit] Luxembourg
I did some corrections to the article, especially what is said about coins from Luxembourg. user Theeuro (talk) simply reverted these corrections, telling me, they would "not make any sense", and I should use the discussion page to announce changes to the article. I just repeated my corrections and provided some links. And I will not pre-announce every correction to an article on its discussion page. It's a wiki. --androl (talk) 21:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- I copyeditted your changes, under the assumption they are correct, which they seem to be. —Nightstallion 23:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- What I said on your talk page was this: 'Your comments regarding Luxembourg do not make any sense. If you have a question, the discussion page is the best place for them.', because you posed a question within the article itself- the wording of your edit is what made no sense. It is best to discuss major changes, such as those you made to the article, in the discussion page before proceeding with them because incorrect information, as in the case of your previous edits to the page, creep in. It is only a request. --Theeuro (talk) 04:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] recent edits
The information regarding Luxembourg in the Mint master marks and privy marks section is now complete and accurate.
By the same token and to further the overall goal of this article, Monaco was given its own paragraph and the process for coin production was given a more detailed explanation.
The linked notes were becoming something of a missed opportunity to further explain certain aspects of the Mint master marks and privy marks section, so a column was added to allow an immediate arena for this information. It will also serve to provide information should future changes occur.
The nature of the initial Greek coin production in the Mint marks section was a little more complicated than what was originally written, so this is now a more complete account of events.
Also, the information in the Mint marks section for Luxembourg is now complete and accurate.--Theeuro (talk) 06:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Numismatics assessment
Hey, I just looked real quick, but here are a few things for improvement: To many bolded words and phrases(only the title of the article should be bold), not enough wikilinks, lack of history(I know the euro is new, but I'm sure most of those marks started somewhere else), overlinking of engravers/designers with no articles.

- Mh. I disagree with most of the assessment: the redlinks to notable engravers and designers are justified and necessary, the bolding of sub-headlines is not necessary -- but not a bad idea either, and I don't see a lack of wikilinks in the article... Yeah, we could probably include more info on where these marks were used before the euro, you're right there. Still, I'd say it's a "B", not a "start". What do you say? —Nightstallion 20:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
