thread_title:  [[Template:Infobox German Location]] 

message: Some of the language in the History section is a bit cumbersome and could use a bit of a rewrite, eg: "One day before ...", "duchy Jülich".  Perhaps it has been translated from a German or French text.
Also, should Homo erectus have both words capitalised, just the first word capitalised or neither word capitalised?  Just nit-picking, I know, but it is an encyclopedia so it should be both correct and consistant. Pedrocelli 01:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: If think you should add Theo Hespers. He was a partisan against Nazi Germany, I think it is a good contrast to Joseph Goebbels.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.189.95.43 (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sons and Daughters of Mönchengladbach 

message: From Bergisch Gladbach:
"The word “Bergisch” in the name does not originate from its location in the earldom of Berg and was not added to distinguish it from Mönchengladbach as believed by many people, but from the earls who gave their name to the region."  
So which is it? I'm confused.  If B G has always been called B G, why would a town called just Gladbach need to add a prefix to differentiate itself – any more than Chester would need to add something at the start to distinguish it from Manchester?  Draggleduck (talk) 04:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This appears to be a typo, probably the first settlements were 3000-4000 years ago?  If literally talking about evidence of neanderthal's, very strange to refer to this as 'settlement'.  I think most historians believe the first settlements (conversion of hunter gatherers to farming) was 10,000 years ago.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.222.165.34 (talk) 22:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Is not a correct nor used name in Dutch. User has been admonished and article on nl-wiki had to be protected now he continues cross wiki. Kind regards, MoiraMoira (talk) 11:01, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Either way, I don't think the lead paragraph needs this kind of information: Mönchengladbach is a German city and never belonged to the Netherlands, so the (potential) Dutch name is  irrelevant here. It's also not close enough to the NL border (where towns often have German and Dutch names both worth mentioning)It's also not one of the towns close to the border where German and Dutch names are both commonly used and worth mentioning (example Nijmegen/Nimwegen). The proposed Dutch name could be mentioned as trivia in the history section, if the source is reliable. As for historical names, the de-wiki article has pictures of historical maps where the town is called Clabbeck in 1563, and Gelabeeck in 1573. Much more interesting and relevant than this petty quarrel about a 'potential' name it never got... Rh73 (talk) 13:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Post war there has been talk of annexation by The Netherlands of pieces of Germany and dutch names were proposed for the towns and villages. That is all. It is a cross wiki pov pusher I have been busy with reverting and the account is on his/her way to a time out on various wiki versions now. This as info to my fellow admins on en-wiki.
