message: I think the history of upper and lower Saxony needs to be kept completely separate, otherways it gets confusing

: This article is about Saxony, one of the sixteen German Bundesländer. It is not a country. Lower Saxony is another Bundesland, and is also not a country. Upper Saxony I've never heard of. -- Timwi 14:19, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: i claim that all references to the historical (and nebulous) Saxony should be linking to Duchy of Saxony, not Saxony. for example, Charlemagne conquered Saxony, which page should be linked? he didnt even conquer all of what is now called Lower Saxony and referred to by 'Saxony', and was nowhere near (Upper) Saxony which is the link provided.

text: I agree. Started new article Saxony (disambiguation). There is also another new article called History of Saxony. Petri Krohn 19:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split up [[Saxony]] and [[Free State of Saxony]]?

message: Today when the "On this day" section highlights the Prussian invasion of Saxony, I'm surprised the Saxony history page doesn't refer to this at all. So I added a paragraph to the "Foundation of the Second Saxon state". I haven't put any citations in, my source is the Seven Years War page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marfinan (talk • contribs) 23:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

message: "Bundesland" is German and means "Federal Country" in English. All states in germany are basically independent countries with their own flags and anthems. The states decided to give up their souvereignity and form a federation but basically every state is able to leave the union whenever it wants.
: Not true. Articles 31, 32 and 37 of the German constitution (Grundgesetz) make it pretty clear that the states are subordinate to the federal government and cannot leave the federation. "Land" can mean country, but that's not its only meaning.  --Chl 22:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Is the anonymous poster above suggesting that the term "Bundesland" is used wrongly or translated wrongly in the article on Saxony, and if so, which part of the article is he or she referring to? BTW, the article on States of Germany explains what they are pretty well. Saint|swithin 09:33, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

message: "After 1918 Saxony was a state in the Weimar Republic and was the scene of Gustav Stresemann's overthrow of the KPD/SPD led government in 1923, during the Nazi era and under Soviet occupation." You are retarded to even use wikipedia because peole like me can do things like this!

thread_title:  What does this sentence mean? 

message: The flag of Saxony represents totally the Saxon values.
It is constituded by a white strip, a symbol of surrender and at the bottom
the Islamic green to represent the Saxon values.
Why bother respect the great true Saxon artworks
and not add the strips of surrender and Islam.
That's what Saxony is all about!
Delete the past and follow Islam!
"Harab Di Alalek" is the classic ancient Saxon motto.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.84.198.175 (talk) 19:31, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The map in the infobox appears to be a map of Germany that does not highlight or label Saxony in any way. I tried to resolve this issue myself by comparing the Brandenburg infobox, which has the same map but with Brandenburg highlighted, but I was unable to find the problem. Many thanks to whoever understands the infobox maps well enough to fix this! A2soup (talk) 18:59, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I came here to say exactly the same thing – still not sorted! There are satisfactory maps in equivalent other-language articles (German, French, Spanish), but they use different syntax, and I'm not sure if they can be copied across. I have posted a request at Graphics Lab.   GrindtXX (talk) 00:41, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth I have the same issue. I tried changing it from "shape" to "line", and this seemed to work in the edit preview but didn't when published. I also tried creating an :SVG out of the raw data on Commons and it seems to work fine so I'm not sure what's causing it. My only idea is that the data points may be "wound" in the wrong direction, but I don't know if this is even an issue for Maplink. Alphathon /'æɫ.fə.θɒn/ (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

message: The name of the state is „Sachsen“ and nothing else. You can not translate a name, a name has its own unique meaning as the name itself. For that it cannot be translated. I also can not „translate“ for example Barack Obama into some deutsch sounding replacement like „Bernd Obmann“ or so, because it would alter the meaning of the name itself. Its Barack Obama and Barack Obama only. So you can not translate Sachsen as well. A state with the name „Saxony“ does not exist, it is only a fantasy of english speaking people. Therfore please write and use „Sachsen“, esecially in an encyclopedia and try to learn to pronounce it as good as you can. 2003:C8:6F23:4600:D381:9416:416:7DE0 (talk) 20:08, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
