[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter
 Issue II - March 2008 |
|
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 |
Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it).

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
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] Phillies WikiProject...?
Not sure how involved you are with Wikipedia as a whole, but here's something you might find particularly interesting: here EaglesFanInTampa 13:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Adding Clark
Your edits are counterproductive. Adding Iron Kingdom as source ? The book is Prussian hagiography, the policies of Prussia aimed against Polish nation and its eventual eradication(the famous "austrotten") are described by author as "pragmatic" and "non-nationalistic". The author does not hide his love for Prussia in claiming that his goal is to "fight against black legend of Prussia". This obvious POV is not suitable to be included as source of neutral observations. --Molobo (talk) 02:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New naming convention
A new naming convention for places in Slovakia is being discussed at User_talk:Elonka/Hungarian-Slovakian_experiment#Proposed_naming_convention. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Since these new rules might be later regarded as a precedent by non-involved editors (remember the Danzig/Gdansk case?), I think you will find this ongoing discussion and a poll interesting.

[edit] Kattowitz (district)
Thanks for cleaning this up. Could you clarify one thing (perhaps with the help of de wiki): did this district exist in the years of 1922-1939, or was it incorporated into another one? To be specific, I wonder if the Kattowitz district existed in interwar Germany even when the city of Katowice (Kattowitz) was part of Poland? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 05:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Please respect WP:NPOV. Wikipedia is not a Western encyclopedia for a Western audience. It is a global resource for a global audience. -WikiSkeptic (talk) 17:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Teutonic takeover
Hi! As you (moved Teutonic Takeover of Gdańsk to Teutonic takeover of Gdańsk: descriptive title, not a proper name), I wonder what this means? I think you have cleaned up the various redirects to point to this name, too. Please explain the proper name on talk. Two editorw were move warring with the article. I don't want to continue this by a move to yet another creative name, but the current name is not acceptable. -- Matthead Discuß 18:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Gdansk rule
Bogislaw vs Bogusław, Stettin (Szczecin) vs Szczecin etc is an RFC I filed to avoid further edit and rv wars; as you are quite active in medieval history esp in German/Slavic matters, you might want to give an oppinion or know a board where I can draw some attention to this case... Skäpperöd (talk) 09:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Eberhard Jäckel
You had added the category Category:University of Florida alumni to Eberhard Jäckel. I have been searching the net and could not confirm that he attended classes or received a degree from the University of Florida. Can you provide a source? Thanks Jccort (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
