replies: text: The Italian name Brunico is mentioned in the article, and I assume that the rationale for entitling the article with the German name Bruneck is that the town's population is overwhelmingly German-speaking; so Bruneck is what most of the townsfolk call it. Anyway, you can call it whatever you like in English. The Italian name is used in the 1963 film The Pink Panther (Bruneck is about 33 km as the crow flies from Cortina d'Ampezzo, where much of the film was made, although the highway distance is much greater because the mountainous topography makes for some very squiggly roads, of course).Kelisi (talk) 04:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

message: So saith the IPA note right at the article's beginning. Now, can the words "German pronunciation" be modified? According to de:WP, this pronunciation is local, dialectal, and from my own knowledge of German, it seems to me that the spelling "Bruneck" would usually be pronounced "[ˈbru:nɛk]". The de:WP tag "mundartlich" suggests that there is also a standard German way of pronouncing "Bruneck", which ought to appear in the article only if it is commonly used in some milieux, but at the very least, I am hoping that the IPA template can be tweaked to indicate that "[ˈbrʊnɛk]" is a local pronunciation.Kelisi (talk) 04:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: That's all well and fine, but now the "listen" soundbite doesn't match the IPA transcription. That does sound like "[ˈbrʊnɛk]" to me. So, what do we do about that?Kelisi (talk) 19:57, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

message: 1. "In 1901, following the passage of the Pustrissa countship from Henry IV to the Bishop of Brixen Altvino, the episcopal administration was established in the village of St. Caterina."
This passage should be at the end of the history section. It's out of place and chronological order.
2. "During the turbulent times of the interregnum upon the death of the Hohenstaufen emperor Frederick II in 1250, the prince-bishop had a fortress erected above the town, which was first mentioned in 1276. The castle was significantly enlarged under Prince-Bishop Albert von Enn, who also had the town walls and moat completed until 1336."
A fortress is introduced. Right after a castle is mentioned. I guess it would be proper to explain the transition from the first to the second. It seems to be one became the other.
"The castle was significantly enlarged under Prince-Bishop Albert von Enn, who also had the town walls and moat completed until 1336."
Is it "until" or "in"?
3. The text says "brisk trade". Can trade described as "brisk" or more properly "active" or "intensive"?
4. "Some of the traded goods were brought through the Puster Valley and often stored long-term in Bruneck on the Ballplatz".
Explan what "Ballplatz" is. There is no context. ICE77 (talk) 05:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
