Talk:Bad Oeynhausen

message: Hi folks. I'd like to help in improving this article. Though I study elsewhere, I still spend a lot of time in Bad Oeynhausen, where I was also born and spent the first 19 years of my life. 
Because I am new to wikipedia I do not not the proper procedure to improve an article.
Would it be OK to start by translating the article in the german wikipedia? It's far from perfect, but would be  a definite improvement. I would write the translation in this discussion, so that others, who speak English as a first language, can improve my translation.
Would this (translating an article of a different language) be according to Wikipedia rules? 
It would definitely help to get more information, even if we couldn't copy it 1 to 1.

replies: text: Translating things from the German article is a great idea, go for it! A full-scale replace of the present article with a translation is usually not done, but rather the translated information is worked into the existing english text. Deuar 13:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  How to improve the article 

message: I could also be of help in this respect, because I still spend quite some time in Bad Oeynhausen.
But one (as I am new to wikipedia perhaps a stupid) question:
Couldn't we just use photos of the german wiki article.
If not: I could take some pics. Just say what I should photograph.

message: There are (at least) three Widukind-springs: One in Bergkirchen (Wiehengebirge mountains, flank to the south), the other one in Lübbecke (Wiehengebirge mountains, flank to the north). Both still give water. The third Widukind-spring had been located somewhat east, just on top of the Wiehengebirge mountains (terrain of the former "Widukind's castle"). This spring ran dry in 1938 due to ore mining activities. If you want to look for more information, see Evangelische Kirche Bergkirchen (Bad Oeynhausen), Wittekindsquelle and Wittekindsburg_(Nordrhein-Westfalen) (all these three sources in german wikipedia only. --84.142.144.37 (talk) 10:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Quote from the text about Bad Oeynhausen: Under Nazi Germany, Bad Oeynhausen hosted a synod of the Confessing Church, as well as the home congregation to Karl Otto Koch, a leading member.
There is a link to Karl Otto Koch.
I think this is a huge mistake!
When you klick the link, it leads you to Karl Otto Koch, SS-Commander of KZ Buchenwald.
This Karl Otto Koch has nothing to do with Bad Oeynhausen!!!
And finally in the meaning of this sentence it makes no sense relating it with Karl Koch.
The Karl Koch (not Karl Otto Koch), who is meant is Jakob Emil Karl Koch (* 6. Oktober 1876 in Witten/Ruhr; † 28. Oktober 1951 in Bielefeld).
He fought against the nationalsocialism ideology!!!
I changed the name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arwenix (talk • contribs) 19:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
