[edit] Template:Infobox German Location

Please introduce the Infobox German Location with image. It provides a coherent look among German cities. Lear 21 23:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Is there a compelling reason for the blurb about Indiana University's exchange program to be mentioned on the Krefeld site? I can't imagine that this is really a key fact about this city; instead, I imagine that somebody from this program was the one who did the write-up.

[edit] Districts

Districts of Germany aren't the same as "Stadtbezirke". They are groups of relatively small cities. They organize some issues like infrastructure or economic encouragement together. "Stadtbezirke" are subdivisions of a big city. In contrast to "Stadtteile" which may have their representatives, "Stadtbezirke" must have them. This definition lacks at States of Germany#Further subdivisions, but if you understand German, you can have a look at German article about de:Ortsteil#Deutschland. I suggest to rename the current section "Districts" to "Stadtbezirke", because there is an english article about that, or "city distircts", but with a link to either the article of Stadtbezirk or to City District. --Demoeconomist (talk) 09:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the insights. What English word, though, would best translate each of these? Stadtbezirk... Stadteil... Xenophon777 (talk) 02:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
