thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Minerva logo.gif

message: I have no idea where 1993 comes from but the MPI-INF was founded in November 1988 and started its work in December 1990. I suggest the following introductory paragraph which also states the institute's founding directors:
Additionally, the Infobox should be updated.
:  I only used the German source, since the other source was primary.  I didn't add the info about the directors because the sourcing either was missing or had no link that I could read, and I don't think directors' names usually go in leads anyway. If you can find better sourcing, I can start a history section and put their names there. STEMinfo (talk) 23:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong date of formation 

message: The MPI-INF is the first institute of Max Planck Society concerned with informatics and computer science. If this is considered worth mentioning, I suggest the following paragraph:
: Without a link, I can't read the source, so don't know if this is notable or not. STEMinfo (talk) 23:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: First of its kind in MPG

message: If reputable awards received by the institute's members are considered worth mentioning, I suggest the following paragraph. (If no explicit reference is given then the award's linked article includes a list of all awardees):
: but with moderated language, and only using one of the identical sources. STEMinfo (talk) 23:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awardees 

message: For example, Thomas Lengauer is no longer a director at MPI-INF., some departments have been dissolved and new ones founded.
I suggest to replace the section except for the last two paragraphs with (all information available on the department's websites, e.g. D3):
: I tried to balance the poor sourcing with including something of interest to readers.  I carefully parsed the language to let the reader know that they are reading information based on what's posted on the institute's web site, but not a reliable third party source. Also, I counted three research groups, not two. STEMinfo (talk) 19:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section “Research departments” is outdated 

message: IMPRS-CS has been succeeded by International Max Planck Research School on Trustworthy Computing (IMPRS-TRUST). I suggest introducing the following new section and removing the current paragraph from “Research departments”:
The link in “External links” should also be replaced by
*International Max Planck Research School on Trustworthy Computing (IMPRS-TRUST)
: I replaced the external link, but am reluctant to add the other text without better sources. I feel I already went out on a limb enough by putting the departments and research groups up with the institute's self-source. It can be frustrating, but I'll make the argument that something as significant as replacing an entire institute department should have some independent coverage if it's notable enough to mention here.

thread_title:  International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science no longer operational 

message: Internationales Begegnungs- und Forschungszentrum für Informatik nowadays operates as Schloss Dagstuhl or Leibniz-Zentrum for Informatics. I suggest introducing a new broader section concerned with cooperations of the MPI-INF and removing the current paragraph from “Research departments”:
The link in “External links” to Dagstuhl's website should also be removed.
: No sources, and there's no reason given for removing the Dagstuhl link. STEMinfo (talk) 19:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
