[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Germany

Welcome, Tobyc75, to the WikiProject Germany! Please direct any questions about the project to its talk page. If you create new articles on Germany-related topics, please list them at our announcement page and tag their talk page with our project template {{WikiProject Germany}}. A few features that you might find helpful:

  • The project's Navigation box points to most of the pages in the project that might be of use to you.
  • Most of the important discussions related to the project take place on the project's main talk page; you may find it useful to watchlist it.
  • We've developed a number of guidelines for names, titles, and other things to standardize our articles and make interlinking easier that you may find useful.

Here are some tasks you can do:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the more experienced members of the project, and we'll be very happy to help you. Again, welcome, and thank you for joining this project!Agathoclea 20:34, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grey League and the Three Leagues

I noticed you've been doing some work on the Grey League. I've just finished doing some expansion to Three Leagues, which may have some helpful content for you (though more likely vice versa). Please feel free to cross-pollinate the two articles.

As a result of my improvements to Three Leagues, I've changed the articles League of God's House and League of the Ten Jurisdictions to become redirects to the appropriate sections in Three Leagues — more detailed than the pre-existing articles. If you have the time and inclination to expand the original articles, please do — and add a {{main}} call to point to the more-detailed articles.

Thanks for your great work! — OwenBlacker (Talk) 18:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

PS: Please feel free to correct my translations from German — much of my improvements to Swiss articles come either from the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland or the German Wikipedia and it's a long time since I did any German  ;o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 18:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for the heads up about the other two Leagues  :o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 19:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter
Issue II - March 2008
From the editor

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
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.

[edit] Assessment of Animal welfare in Nazi Germany

[edit] Panzer division vs Panzer divisions

Hi Toby. I'm sure you had good intentions, but please note that the article Panzer division is a generic reference to the unit type, and not intended to be the article for reference to Panzer divisions, or their unit histories. Panzer division article will seek to explain the origin, development, organisation and doctrine of their use, and will include the units of the Second World War and the Cold War. Please undo your moves and restore the Panzer Divisions article. Thank you--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 02:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
