Little context in Albersweiler

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Albersweiler, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Albersweiler is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Albersweiler, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move from Berkenthin. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — madman bum and angel 20:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Senscheid

A tag has been placed on Senscheid, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD A1.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Shawnpoo 21:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Saxony stubs

First of all thank you for creating all the municipality stubs. However, there is no rush necessary. I'd prefer if you could add two or three sentences too that are special about whatever municipality you're creating... If you speak German fluently it shouldn't be a problem to skim the the German articles and see what might distinguish the municipality from others. See for example what I added to Wechselburg and to Ralbitz-Rosenthal. I'm realistic, so I don't really think people will start filling up those articles in the near future so please make your stubs a little more "interesting";-) thx, --X-Weinzar 23:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure they'll develop soon enough. Great progess - I have looked through several districts and all the red links have been removed. Which regions now need to be completed? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 18:23, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

well, I do understand and do appreciate your efforts to create those articles but honestly: Who do you think will put work into them? I'm skeptical about this unless some German users sign up in order to promote their home towns. I think just creating articles in order for "links to be blue" may not be the right way... --X-Weinzar 19:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

There will be a minimal but sufficient information in each of those stubs once the infoboxes are copied in. Far more will grow then if we would not plant the seedling. Agathoclea 20:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Un salle de bains avec duche . Have a nice holdiay? ♦ Blofeld the Bald ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 17:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hope you had a great time. The weather in the Uk this summer has been terrible -this is the first summer of my life that we haven't had a proper summer!!! Its only this weekend since April that the weather has been warm!!! I've been doing some French communes in the Pas de Calais department but mostly taking it easy ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?"

I think we should try to get Rhineland completed. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm sorry I didn't complete it before now. I have been rather busy. It was getting done gradually. But now they are inconsistent as some have an info box and others don't. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Great work though - I filled in a district yesterday ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Kusel (district) next???? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Germany

I have fixed the links for Mayen-Koblenz. The path is now clear to just stub them all. But why are many municipalities categorized as towns and some municipalities not. Surely most municipalities have a village or small town of the municipality name? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 14:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe that there was sometime ago someone who classed everything as town. Current practice is to class "Städte" under 100k as towns ond over as cities and leave the rest as municipalities. I am linking [[Municipalities in Germany|municipality]] which is currently a redirect but could later be an article. Agathoclea 14:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Well I would prefer a Category:Cities, towns and villages in Rhineland-Palatinate - much less confusing. The "cities" often have a subcateogry of their own anyway.

Mark - I've done that entire district now -there's one less for you to do - but some of the interwiki links may not be correct - this can be fixed when info boxes are copied and added. No one's going to thank me as ever though are they!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ernst Stavro Blofeld (talk • contribs) 15:30, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your effort! Agathoclea 15:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Well done to all. I'll add a few infoboxes now. Hey Mark I've begun developing French films. Mostly I've been working on French films of the 1920s. today and yesterday, Now theres a lots of missing work there too!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ernst Stavro Blofeld (talk • contribs) 15:40, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

OK links for Rhein-Hunsrück is just about fixed. I've started a few. I'll complete it with you tomorrrow. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Laubach is the last one to fix I'll do that tomorrow. Guten nacht mein freund. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you let me know what I can help you with right now? I want to test AWB on creating those articles much quicker. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 17:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Let's do some more. Tell me which Templates you've already gone over so that I can create the relevant articles. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 20:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Nordvorpommern Done. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 20:55, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Check

Ostvorpommer so that I can complete it. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 20:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Whenever you finish checking over a German cities template just let me know and I'll fill them all in and create the articles. Every time you finish one then just post it on my talk page and I will create all of them that need to be created. Be sure to provide a link to the specific template where the articles are located so that I don't get confused though. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 21:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Concerning use of AWB

I've concluded that it AWB won't work to help create those articles quicker unless we find a way to add a template to the AWB input that will automatically result in the name of the article said template is placed on. For instance a template, if placed on the article Superman would automatically turn into the text "Superman" once saved. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 19:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I just figured that out thanks to someone else telling me. I'm trying it now with Towns and municipalities in Nordwestmecklenburg. Check to see if I'm making mistakes. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 20:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Oops

I seem to have made a mistake. I forgot to change the attributes for a lot of German cities such as Wittenhagen. The result is that it says it's a municipality in the Nordwestmecklenburg district but it's actually in the Nordvorpommern district...I'm going to start fixing it but if I don't finish please fix them for me. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 22:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I think I fixed it all pretty quickly using AWB. Are you done with anymore districts? If so just let me know and I'll fill them all in within a minute or two using AWB. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 14:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Pagenames...

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll get right on it ASAP. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 14:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I've changed all of the {{PAGENAME}} to {{subst:PAGENAME}}. I'll definitely use {{subst:PAGENAME}} from now on instead. Have you finished looking over any other districts? Wikidudeman ^(talk) 15:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Are you finished checking Uecker-Randow yet? Wikidudeman ^(talk) 18:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Please tell me...

when you finish overlooking an article and I'll get right to filling it in using AWB. I do it a bit slower from now on as not to flood the newpage servers but I generally get it done much faster than if done manually. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 13:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Your note

Thanks for the note, I will fix that; my bad I kinda ignored the german, thought it was part of the template, instead of a interwiki link. And I learn german too! I'll go back and fix the ones you have not fixed yet. Thanks again! Phgao 15:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm still fixing, can't believe I created so many articles with it, lucky you pointed that out, otherwise a lot of spadework there. Phgao 15:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Tick. All done. Phgao 15:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

AWB

Thanks for your offer, I actually have access to AWB, but have no idea how to use it. Now, I could do things manually, if it's as easy as the stuff I did above and doesn't take too long. Otherwise I may have to get your help in configuring AWB. But any menial tasks that need to be done, feel free to send them to me with how I should go about doing it. Phgao 16:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Interwikilinks

I am leaving this message here as a number of people involved seem to be checking in from time to time. I came across a number of articles recently where in the hurry of setting up the article a wrong interwikilink was set (either non-existant or pointing to a dab page). That could be avoided by following the link to check and then copy the other interwikilinks from the de-wiki article. Agathoclea 09:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I might be able to fix this. Which articles or Municipalities are these articles in? Wikidudeman ^(talk) 14:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Note..

When giving me districts or municipalities please leave model municipalities so that I can use them to base the others off of. Otherwise it's quite difficult. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 19:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

mini stubs and vo-closure discussion

Dewiki is slowly revolting against interwikilinks to what they call "substandard robot generated rubbish". One of the outspoken ones is de:Benutzer:Rauenstein who has already vandalized entries on enwiki because he did not like the interwikilinks. Currently it lead to the discussion to close vo-wiki which makes an interesting read. We are often quoted as an example/inspiration for the bot activity. Any ideas? Agathoclea 05:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you posted a message on my talk page about our Germany-related stub creations being cited as an example. The length of the discussion discourages me to read it completely, what's the bottom line regarding our stubs? BTW in a week from now all German municipalities will have an article!!! Markussep ^Talk 13:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I am looking forward to completion. There is not much that we can do against such bad attitude apart from making sure that all those articles will get fleshed out eventually - first with infoboxes and then a bit more text. Prove them wrong! Agathoclea 17:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

AWB prob

AWB seems to be on the fritz so it might be a day or two before I can start again with those articles. Keep posting them on my talk page and I'll get to them ASAP if there starts to be a backlog of a few. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 19:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Nothing else?

No other German municipalities need to be completed? Wikidudeman ^(talk) 18:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

upcoming newsletter

I'd like to resurrect the newsletter and started working on it already. As the feature concerns the Cities taskforce, I thought you might want to have your input as well. Agathoclea 15:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Diff you might be interrested in

This diff seems interesting. Agathoclea 13:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the link. I think we already covered these changes of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaften (Bitterfeld-Wolfen, and Bad Kösen not disbanded), not sure about the municipalities, but I checked most of those this summer. Next up: Saxony, 2008. Is there an easy way to find out about municipality mergers? Markussep ^Talk 13:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Kommunen und Landkreise in Deutschland/Aktuelle Gemeindegebietsveränderungen is what I wanted to port to our project for a while. Just very thin on references. Agathoclea 14:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

German location template

I am having some problems with the new German location template that someone brought over from the German Wikipedia. Do you know who owns it?

To see the problems, look at Altusried.

Gemeindeschlüssel

I just left a note with Ksnow, but it affects all of us involved. Having the Gemeindeschlüssel in the infobox will later help us identify the places in question when making botgenerated updates like population. Agathoclea 21:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

German Infoboxes

What other states are not yet complete? What should I work on while you do Lower Saxony? Ksnow 02:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

Good morning. While you were answering the above I added another note to Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Cities which you might want to doublecheck. Agathoclea 08:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I noticed in some cases that the infobox as copied from de: didn't contain the "Art" field even though it was a town/Stadt. I corrected the ones I noticed, but probably I missed several. And there are still many places in both a "municipalities" and a "towns" category. I think the best way to fix this is to compare the "towns in X" categories with a list of towns from de:, like de:Liste der Städte in Deutschland, or the bold names in de:Liste der Städte und Gemeinden in Baden-Württemberg etc. for the states that have been completed (Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saarland, Hesse). Unfortunately, there are no lists of towns by state, or categories of towns by state in de:. It's not my highest priority, though. One complicating thing is also that there are several places in the "towns" categories that aren't independent municipalities or towns (e.g. Rheydt, Obermarsberg, Nassau, Saxony). They should go to a "villages" or "boroughs" category, but I don't think there's been a decision on that yet. Maybe "localities in X", "quarters in X" or "municipal subdivisions in X". Markussep ^Talk 12:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

That does complicate matters. But I think that can wait sorting until we managed to sort out the infoboxes and categories. Agathoclea 12:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I just discovered Category:Neighbourhoods in Germany, but there's also Category:Villages in Germany. What we're looking for is an equivalent for "Ortsteil", something that covers both urban subdivisions like Rheydt and Bad Godesberg, and rural places like Denklingen (Reichshof) and Klein Priebus. Neighbourhood looks fine to me. Markussep ^Talk 14:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Sponheim

There seems to be something wrong with the Grafschaft Sponheim Infobox that I am not able to fix. Ksnow 15:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

The equals sign is showing where the flag is, and the sin escudo flags are off to the right, almost out of the box. Ksnow 15:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

Landkreis in Deutschland

As far as the English Wikipedia is concerned. Can Landkries be "County" and Verbandsgemeinde be "Township" or "County district". Due to the target audience being American in which our federal structure is as follows: National = Bundeswiet State = Bundesland County= Landkreis Township/County district = Verbandsgemeinde City/Town = Stadt/Ort so with that said may it remain County of Kaiserslautern as to better serve the American population in the region and the readers of English Wikipedia. Danke ;) MKLPTR 17:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Land kreis in Deutschland

It would be nice if we did re-name them to counties. But that would be impractical by now due to the number of articles. However the rationale is you need to look at the equivalent governmental body in your target audiences area. For us here in the U.S. district is only used in cities like "Stadttiel" in German. Like I live in The City of Antioch (Stadt) on the County of Contra Costa (Landkries) in the state of California (Bundesland) in the Nation of the United States of America (Bundesrepublik). see where I am going with this? here is also an excerpt from the Deutsch "County" page:
"County (Plural: Countys; englischer Plural: counties) ist in 48 der 50 Bundesstaaten der Vereinigten Staaten der Name der Verwaltungseinheiten, die den deutschen Landkreisen"
Hope that helps ;) MKLPTR 19:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Update on Bavaria

Just to let you know what I had been up to for the last week or so. I removed all (or most) of the Towns in/municipalities in... Categories to let the infobox do the categorization. I am still in the process of matching the lead to the category generated from the infobox. But I ran into a slight problem: there are only 315 Städte in Bavaria - 6 Cities and 309 Towns - so I still have about 60 which are marked as Towns when they are not. I found a few where the type=town or Art=Stadt has been added when the infobox was copied from dewiki. All in all still a bit of work ahead. Agathoclea (talk) 23:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Germany stubs

Hi Mark. Did you finish Germany after? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:53, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

That is excellent work and progreess. i admire you for it!!!! i'm a bit tied up myself at the moment sorting out film, but it was always good to work with you. Let me know if you really need a hand with something and I'll see what I can do when I have a moment spare. I was gradually aiming to add the communes in France (which also needs doing).

Herxheim

There is an inter-wiki link on this page to Lumbaart (lmo:Herxheim), but when I try to move it into its proper position so that the links are alphabetical or to copy it onto the German page, it doesn't show up. Can you figure out what is going on?

Ksnow (talk) 11:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

Yes, but I am on a different computer. I wonder what the problem was? Thanks, again. Ksnow (talk) 14:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

Gemeinde Web sites

Is there any way we can edit the Ort in Deutschland template so that Web sites with long names don't make the infobox get wide? This would mean that we could include the whole address without having an aesthetically unpleasant effect. Ksnow (talk) 08:57, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

Yes, I finished Rhineland-Palatinate, and Saarland is done. I am working on Saxony. Ksnow (talk) 17:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)Ksnow

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.
