Talk:NZG Models

message: I have rewritten the article to make it appear less like it is unneccesarily lauding the company, but it was very factual and accurate.  When I do say positive things about a model company, it is that those are the strengths in the models compared to other companies - I also note negatives, weaknesses, or drawback to the models or the companies.  Comparisons to other companies in this article are accurate.  
As usual, I'm looking for some more good 3rd party sources, which will be added soon.--Cstevencampbell (talk) 01:56, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:UHU

message: Kleber means glue. The translation to "everything-sticker" is frankly ridiculous. The phrase was added in 2007 (as "all-sticker") without a source than changed to a "better translation" in 2014, again without source.
The company never used either as far as I can tell. The old history page as currently cited reads "UHU The All Purpose Adhesive" since at least 2011 as well as on the 6th May 2018 and the 9th May 2018. The current page does, too. Also the German phrase itself should not include "German:".
Not fixing this myself since I have no idea about cite notes. --2001:4DD6:B244:0:3D45:95A3:9513:7946 (talk) 16:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

message: One of my more enduring recollections of Phun City is when, just after the MC5 had left the stage, "Legs" Larry Smith, of the Bonzo Dog Band appeared.

Talk:Eastphalia

message: In the text of this article the following statement, “...Phalian" subtype (fälische Rasse) of an "Aryan race" according to the occult concept of Helena Blavatsky and her Ariosophic followers.”, appears to imply for the casual reader that Madame Blavatsky would herself and her Theosophy would have an intrinsic connection to Ariosophy and the Nazi and anti semitic ideas that followed?
 Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yes she probably did indeed have followers that were Ariosophists, but she herself would repudiate any connection with those ideas and movement. I would also doubt any follower of Theosophy would embrace any connection whatsoever with Ariosophy.  2A00:23C4:E987:5000:6147:9996:FAF1:21A9 (talk) 13:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Municipalities of Germany

message: If this article would be referenced as it must be, a lot of the misinformation would be avoided. I tried to edit, but I don't know where to start.
*A municipality is a "an urban administrative division having corporate status and usually powers of self-government or jurisdiction." In German, the translation would be a "Kommune."
*On an EU level, the synonym would be Local administrative unit (LAU)
*"The lowest level of official territorial division in Germany" would indeed be a Gemeinde, which, AFAIK, has no attendant expression in American English. In America, Villages, Towns, Cities etc. do not denote a rank, as the do in Germany.
*To make matters even more complicated, (and tangentially mentioned in the lower part of the article,) in law, German Kommunen or municipalities sometimes are called "politische Gemeinden" with no reference to ranking.
This article should be completely rewritten, if not, deleted.  BsBsBs (talk) 11:44, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Belmont Courthouse State Historic Park

message: has anyone had any experiences in this town of Belmont?  In the late 50's my family and I stayed in the courthouse overnight.  No one lived there at the time except the ranger and his mother.  At night there was very loud banging on the boarded up windows.  the adults except for my mom all drank and were sound asleep, my dog laying beside me, with a muffled low bark, was trembling quite heavily.  I heard footsteps going up the stairs where my parents were sleeping.  I never heard them come back down.  the next morning my mom asked me why I didn't come on in as she heard me come up where she sat up waiting for me.  I only told her I didn't come up and we never spoke of it again. As she did not call out to me I am sure she knew it was not me. I cannot speak to her now about it as she is no longer with us.75.15.210.203 21:59, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of canals in Germany

message: Literally translated Schifffahrtskanal means shipping channel. Which is more or less what the English word canal means. But in most cases German seems to use the plain kanal where English would use canal.
Various authors of this article (including myself) have therefore translated Schifffahrtskanal as ship canal, which in English means a specific form of canal intended for use by sea-going ships. But I'm now beggining to wonder about this. Several of the canals listed are well inland and it seems unlikely sea-going ships would use them (the Berlin-Spandauer Schifffahrtskanal for example). And neither the English nor German articles on the most famous ship canal in Germany (the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) use the term Schifffahrtskanal.
So can anybody help. What is a reasonable English translation of Schifffahrtskanal?. Is it just canal, or ship canal, or something different. -- Starbois (talk) 13:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question on translation of ''Schifffahrtskanal'' 

message: Are we perhaps guilty of over-translation in our naming of articles on German Canals. 
The general practice in wp:en is to use English proper names where they are already in common usage. For example, what German speakers call the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal has the well established English name of the Kiel Canal. This has presumably been established because of that canals maritime and military importance, and Britain's historical interest in anything maritime.
However where no such well established English proper name exists, we normally use the local name. What I suspect we should not be doing is taking the German name and decomposing it into its compenents, then translating those. And I think that is what we have done here; I suspect few inland canals in Germany have well-established English names.
Anybody got any thoughts on this?. -- Starbois (talk) 11:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's good to start a discussion about this. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/Conventions, there are several other examples of (partially) translated names there. The status of those conventions is not clear to me, I see that several of the "guidelines" are not followed, e.g. we call the Länder of Austria "state" in Wikipedia, not "province". An argument for (partially) translating names given on that page is that German uses more compound nouns than English. Maybe we should continue this discussion here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany/Conventions. Markussep Talk 14:39, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Zollern

message: In looking through the pages to try and tease apart the relationships between the Counts of Zollern, I have found a puzzle:
Frederick XI says that he died in 1401
Frederick X says that he died in 1412, but that Frederick XI succeeded him upon his death
Zollern omits Frederick X from the list of counts, going straight from Frederick IX to Frederick XI.
The German page de:Grafschaft_Hohenzollern includes Frederick X in the list, but also includes the contradiction in dates above. 1bandsaw (talk) 03:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apparent contradiction among pages 

message: I am well aware that this change has to be explained. An own article Zollern makes no sense. All the same information can be found in the arcticle House of Hohenzollern.

Talk:German People's Party

message: The article currently makes it sound a bit too much like the DVP had one unitary ideology. It was in fact riven by disputes between factions, which ranged from center-right to far-right, and differed greatly in their view of the Weimar Republic. For example, after 1922 or so, the faction around Gustav Stresemann was considered the party's left wing, participated in Weimar government to shore it up against anti-democratic forces, and even worked with the SPD on occasion. Other factions were further right, ranging from the right faction around Ernst Scholtz to the far-right factions around people like Reinhold Quaatz and Oskar Maretzky. --Delirium (talk) 23:54, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ideology

message: Although the party was considered a liberal party in the Weimar Republic, its policies would appear conservative, by modern European standards.
It seems the author is confusing classical liberalism (which would today be considered fiscal conservatism -- free trade, anti-regulation, etc), which was the definition prevalent during Weimar Germany, and the modern definition of "liberal", which is basically a umbrella term for anything left of center. Classical liberalism was distinctly "right", compared to both contemporary and modern ideologies.
So, I'm just going to remove that sentence and wiki link the word "liberal" in the article to the classical liberalism article. It might be worthwhile to change the final sentence into an explanation of what liberal means in this context, but I don't see any reason to have such an explanation here rather than every other article that uses the term liberal in the classical sense.
