[edit] Banner

Please hold of using a banner until we can get the Germanybanner to include a munich parameter. Agathoclea 07:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] stubs up for deletion

This is notification that most of the stubs listed on the project page are up for deletion at WP:SFD. Please join in the discussion. Thank you. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 15:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

Why do we really need a restriction like "...that have GNU Free Documentation License" - why are pic limited to a specific license? I think there is no need for that. Scriberius 14:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Why do we need a gallery? We have http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Munich with a good categorisation and quite a lot of media files. -- Scriberius 14:42, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

This is to help collecting photo resources. Eventually, I think it should go over there. Kingjeff 18:12, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template merge?

As all the articles that belong to WikiProject Munich also belong to WikiProject Germany, I suggest to merge the templates so every talk page only needs to have one. This would not need to affect the operations of this project at all, only the talk page banner. I have just created a Mainz task force for the Germany project and have created a system of importance and quality categories for it that parallels that of the Germany project. For Mainz, it works simply by setting Mainz=yes and MainzImp=something in the {{WikiProject Germany}} template. You can see at Talk:Willigis or Talk:Georg Forster what the result looks like. If you are interested, I can add such a switch for Munich (say, Munich=yes and MunichImp=something) and provide a link to this project, just like it works for the New York City Subway project within the Trains project (see Talk:New York City Subway for an example of their templates). I think merging the templates could lead to closer cooperation between the Germany and Munich projects and less work for everyone. Kusma (討論) 20:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I like the the main WikiProject Munich banner as is. Can we do this with the stub templates? Kingjeff 20:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't quite understand what you mean. A switch of type Munich=yes in the Germany stub templates and a corresponding category would essentially be the same as a Munich stub subtype, and would probably be opposed and not maintained by the stub sorters. However, Category:Stub-class Munich articles gives you essentially the same info. In the future, I hope the toolserver will work again, and then it will become easy to see the intersection of categories again (like to see what is in Category:Munich stubs and Category:Germany structure stubs at the same time) and so the information corresponding to a potentially "too small" stub type will be readily accessible. However, the toolserver people have been promising that the toolswerver will be back soon for a couple of months now :-/ Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 20:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I have merged the templates. Hope it all works, it not, please complain :-) Two examples are at Talk:Grünwalder Stadion and Talk:Munich. It should fit with the existing categories without any change, just using the Munich=yes and MunichImp=Top switches of the Germany project template. Kusma (討論) 22:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Or, to be more exact, I have provided WP Munich functionality in the WP Germany template so it is no longer strictly necessary to have two templates. Another advantage of having one template only is that you won't have to adapt improvements from the Germany template, but they'll work for you automagically. Kusma (討論) 22:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lets get the ball rolling in here

Here are some things you can work on. You can pick some articles to do from

Stub-class Munich articles,
Start-class Munich articles or
the translation request page.

A lot of these pages don't have a lot in them and need a start.

If anyone knows any users in Wikipedia who might be interested in this project, you can send them a {{WP Munich Invitation}}. 22:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it looks like a couple people have been able to help in translating a couple articles. Thanks to Boson for doing a real translation. He brought Dachau from a stub into a credible article. Maybe someone can check it out for grammer etc. Anyone willing to help out translating can go here. If you know anyone can help translate, plese put this {{WP Munich Invitation}} on there page Kingjeff 00:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shortcut

WP:MUC now redirects to the project page. Kusma (討論) 16:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry about the log

The 7 December changes here were caused by an edit to the project template that I didn't notice. It should be fixed now, and the bot should add the articles to the list again during its next run. Kusma (討論) 15:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation

Thank you for the invitation but I have no time for this project, because there is a lot to do at the German Wikipedia. My cooperation with English Wikipedia is only sporadic and my English is not real good. --Kuemmjen 20:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Munich U-Bahn

I'll expand and create some Munich U-Bahn articles, especially the stations I use very often. There are also articles on important Junctions in the network missing. Feel free to help. Thelifeofbrian 19:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Good news - I got stuck on that project a few weeks ago. One of the reasons I stopped was the anticipated closure of U7 an U8. I wanted that to be out of the way first. Agathoclea 19:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? U7 and U8 are ging to be closed? i thought they just will run on a different route. Thelifeofbrian 20:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

See this. Agathoclea 00:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I'm living in Munich and I don't notice whats going on.....Thelifeofbrian 18:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Task Forces

Hi everyone,

There are 22 members now and should make for a good WikiProject. There are a few things we need to talk about before we can all really get started. As you see by the title, task forces are one of those things. So, how about we start naming and discussing possible task forces. To help keep specific task force topic separate, each idea for a task force should have it's own title as I did for translation idea. Kingjeff 02:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

To start off, I think it would be great to start a translation task force to particularly translate from German to English. We'll need people not just to do the translations but to copyedit the gramour, spelling etc Kingjeff 02:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I can help since I know basic German. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 12:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sports

There should be a sports task force to deal with all the teams and players in Munich. I think the main thing here is really to help expand the articles related to sports. Kingjeff 03:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. I can research on Munich sports. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 12:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I've started the sports Task Force. Kingjeff 01:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Drives

I would like to get started on the Article Improvement Drive and the Article Referencing Drive. Is there anyone else interested? Kingjeff 02:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

That might be good. - Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 12:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

We'll have to see about these. I think it'll take about 10 people to make these 2 successful. Kingjeff 23:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich Portal

It would be great to have a Munich Portal. Kingjeff 03:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah i agree with that, is there a Bavaria portal?-- Hrödberäht (gespräch) 14:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't know about that. But you would probably need a WikiProject for it. I've already started on the Munich Portal. Kingjeff 15:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich U-Bahn stations

We need to discuss about the format for stations of the Muich U-Bahn. What possibly can we add to a Munich U-Bahn station article? Kingjeff 23:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

We can probably get an entire task force about this. Kingjeff 23:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fellow Members

Hello! I'm just wondering who is still active within this project? I haven't seen much activity lately. Regards, WilliamH 17:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New parameters for the Germany project template

Due to some changes in the assessment process, there are some new switches and new criteria for B-Class assessment. See the Germany newsletter for details. If you have further questions, please ask at the main project talk page. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 11:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich Coat of Arms

I have done a complete translation from scratch of de:Münchner Wappen to Munich Coat of Arms. This is marked as Lesenswertig on the German Wikipedia, I'm hoping it can be a Good Article here too. I welcome any feedback. WilliamH 18:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

It passed its review and is now a Good Article. :) WilliamH 13:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Munich

I have used WikiProject Munich as a redirect to the main page of the project. Late last month for some reason this redirect was deleted. I don't know about the rest of the membership, but I know I have used this on many occasions for invites and other stuff. I would like to have this for convenience. Here is what is going to happen. Members up to this point will be allowed to vote below either for or against. This result is the one that will stand. Kingjeff 01:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

A vote is pointless, as it is a matter of policy. Agathoclea 05:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

If you want to challenge the deletion, you need to go to WP:DRV; voting here is not useful. Try to use WP:MUC instead. Kusma (talk) 09:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For the redirect

Kingjeff 01:58, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taskforce for Munich Portal

Does anyone want to take up the responsibilty for the Munich Portal? Kingjeff 02:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey in Munich translation

Can someone translate Hockey in Munich? Kingjeff 05:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To-Do list

I'm currently working on a To-Do list on the main page of the project. I've broken down articles in to several categories. Take a look and see if any interest any of you. Kingjeff 18:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Munich

Munich was a candidate for Good Article status. The main reason why it failed was because it lacks inline citations. I'll be working on it. Kingjeff 19:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

At the request of Kingjeff, I'll restate my review here as well. I failed the article at this time mainly for a lack of citations. This is a requirement for an article to become a GA based on the GA criteria. If you want to help improve the article, go through the various sections and make sure to add inline citations to any statements that may be questioned about their verifiability. I would also recommend that multiple editors of this project work on the article, as it may be a difficult task for just one person to add so many citations. The article looks great otherwise, covering the broad aspect, with some great pictures. Once you think you have added enough sources to back the various statements throughout the article, revisit the criteria to see if you are ready to renominate the article. When you get to that stage, let me know, and if I'm not too busy at the time, I'll rereview the article for you. --Nehrams2020 20:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] en:Munich air disaster

This article has no German translation! Hat irgendeiner Zeit, bis 6. Februar wenigstens einen Stub dazu zu schreiben? Am 6. Februar ist es der 50. Jahrestag. John Ramsden hat diese Katastrophe so schön beschrieben als Versöhnung zwischen DE und GB zu einer Zeit, als dies kaum vorstellbar war, der Artikel ist schon in 10 Sprachen übersetzt worden, aber im deutschen Wikipedia kaum ein Wort darüber ... siehe Duncan_Edwards und BBC Saint|swithin 14:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

thanks to fast work by BSI and Vince2004 this has now been done - twice. Once the two translations are merged, enjoy and check at de:British-European-Airways-Flug 609 Saint|swithin 17:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
