: Hi again, you can't wait months after an edit and then decide to revert to the "long-standing version" and claim this is OK since some edit wasn't made in 2003. That's not how things work. You're here again referring to another infobox on another page as an argument concerning this one, and it isn't any more convincing than it was last time. (BTW, I believe Bonn wasn't declared or proclaimed to be a capital city so the box on West Germany may be wrong). To clarify, I'm OK with either Berlin (proclaimed), Berlin (Seat of Government), Berlin (widely unrecognized) etc. in addition to removing "Capital" or changing it to "Seat of Government". Editing the template seems to be restricted, so I'd suggest we keep the current (proclaimed) text while we work to modify the capital field to optional status. As I wrote earlier, the Manual of Style can't override WP:NPOV (which applies to article bodies, boxes and leads equally) so the MoS will have to accept a few extra words in the box for now. Cheers,
