message: Can someone figure out where to place Emmerke into this article so that the orphan tag can be removed from Emmerke? Kingturtle (talk) 14:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to place Emmerke into this article, you will probably have to place two dozen villages of similar (un)importance in order to be consistent. Not sure if that makes sense... Anna (talk) 21:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I just corrected some of the dates. It is not quite correct to say "in the late 1970s reconstruction of the historic centre began.". The major churches were rebuilt right after the war (by the way, with great participation by the inhabitants of Hildesheim). The reconstruction of the historic buildings around the market place did not begin until somewhere in the mid-1980s.
Unfortunately, it is also not correct to make the general statement "... reconstruction of the historic centre began. The unattractive concrete buildings were torn down and replaced by replicas of the original buildings." This is true for a few buildings around the marketplace, but not nearly for the whole historic center which extended much beyond the marketplace. There still are a lot of concrete buildings around...  Anna (talk) 22:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems funny that in the German version of this article the distance to Hanover is said to be 30 km, and here it's only 25 km. Whatever happened to those 5 km? From driving the distance myself, it seems to me that 30 km would be nearer to the truth.  Anna (talk) 22:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I find the history paragraph of this article a bit unsatisfactory. I would give a try at translating the corresponding paragraph from the German article myself, but I am afraid that there are too many specialized historic terms that I am not sure of in English. Anyone have an idea how to solve this? I'd be willing to cooperate as much as my time allows.  Anna (talk) 06:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I also find this sentence in the History section troubling: "...two months before the end of the war in Europe the famous historic city was chosen to be destroyed in order to shatter the will to defend."  This may well be true, but the fact that it has no citations to primary sources doesn't go very far to convince one of a very provocative claim.  Can anyone source this?

message: "Other places of interest include the Theatre, offering opera, operetta and musicals, drama, ballet and concerts, the medieval-appearing half-timbered houses and the old Jewish quarter." Could someone please explain to me what exactly is meant by...
*"medieval-appearing half-timbered houses": the reconstructed ones around the marketplace? Or the ones in the "Neustadt"? Those are not "medieval-appearing", those are real!
*"the old Jewish quarter": I am not really sure which quarter is meant by this term. The one where the synagogue used to be (nowadays with a memorial)? Or the so-called "Judenstrasse" near the Marketplace?  Anna (talk) 23:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: What is this about an akkordeonist in that panorama picture? Is this some kind of vandalism, or why is he mentioned in this article? Or does he have some kind of a right about having his name mentioned with this picture (might be, since it is mentioned in the source too). Sorry, but that seems kind of ridiculous and certainly very unencyclopaedic. I think I'd rather leave out the picture altogether if that is the case. --Anna (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Not to single this article out, but it does read and look a bit like a tourist brochure. Granted, its probably notable for its beauty, but do we need quite so many images?(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 15:34, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
