thread_title: Collecting data on the use of umlaut and ß in English language publications

message: Informational pages on Germany's Bundesländer are cited frequently throughout Wikipedia, be it on a historical page, or a footy page. The problem is, this is done with inconsistent manner, placement, and style. Those not familiar with Germany's political system, and, indeed, even those who are, can be easily thrown off by the inconsistent terminology and level of detail provided when linking to Bundesländer. This seems to be an issue that could be completely resolved with minimal to moderate effort from the German speaking community on Wikipedia.
I propose that a universal style for this topic be developed and applied. Ideally, a small group could do this in an efficient and dedicated manner.
Thanks, and please be sure to tell me if I'm missing some huge detail on the issue. Also, I am more than willing to volunteer myself to be involved in this project in the event it is acknowledged as necessary. Lebewohl! --Mitglied von die Elektronischenzyklopädie Schriftleitung 07:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I started re-working an article translated by a native German speaker and found that some words were not translated.  Assuming good faith, I imagine this is a result of the person not knowing the words... for which there is a fix:
# German <-> English Dictionary - A simple dictionary from the TU Chemnitz. Contains over 680,000 entries.
# Another German <-> English Dictionary - A dictionary from the TU München.
# Babel Fish Translation - An electronic translator - named after the translating fictional animal in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
# Eurodicautom - An excellent multilingual dictionary that covers, among others, medical terms and technical terms.  Aside from the Siemens' dictionaries, there is nothing I've come across that comes close for things technical.

message: The article Red Army atrocities needs some attention from German speakers, particularly since most of the sources given besides Anthony Beevor are German.  Those with access to German sources could probably flesh it out a bit.
User:Irpen has added a noncompliancy tag and requested that the article be renamed "Berlin - The Downfall 1945", the title of Beevors book, and (presumably) to only deal with Beevors book.
This would in my opinion be a shame as the topic merits its own article.

Also, I did find the the German article on the German Wikipedia.  That said, I'm skeptical that it requires an entry in the English language Wikipedia.  I regularily read Der Spiegel and I've never heard of the Anti-Germans as an ideology/conglomerate of far-left political groups.

Any thoughts on the matter?  Nephron  T|C 21:59, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. "Anti-German" denotes an opinion (I hesitate to call it an "ideology" or a "movement"), not an organization, so Wikipedia:Notability (organizations) does not apply. A Google search for "antideutsch" spawned 90,000 hits, at first sight all seem to refer to the meaning at hand. The opinion has also been the subject of a dissertation at the University of Cologne (cited in the article), which can be found here . The phenomenon may attract little attention outside the German radical left, let alone anywhere outside Germany, but is notable anyway. If we were to limit ourselves to what's "in the news in North America in any big way" (or in mainstream media elsewhere (such as Der Spiegel)), 90 per cent of Wikipedia must go... Having said that, I can't vouch for the quality of the article as it stands now. --Thorsten1 12:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I also posted this at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles).
What would be the correct article title for Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt? :de:Brandenburg-Schwedt mentions three margraves of Brandenburg-Schwedt: Philipp Wilhelm (1688-1711), Friedrich Wilhelm (1731-1771), and Heinrich Friedrich (Friedrich Heinrich; 1771–1788)) as ruling margraves. This link mentions "Charles" (Karl), a son of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, as an earlier margrave. This link mentions an "Albrecht Friedrich" (1711–1731) as ruling between Philipp Wilhelm and Friedrich Wilhelm. I haven't found any links starting that Christian Ludwig actually ruled Schwedt like his brother Philipp Wilhelm, but he definitely has been called the "Margrave of Brandenburg(-Schwedt)". Would this be a substantive or courtesy title? Other variations I have considered are Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt and Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt.

replies: text: That would be the convention for Philipp Wilhelm, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, who actually ruled in Schwedt, even though the cadet branch was confined by the electors. As far as I can tell, Christian Ludwig never actually became the monarch of Schwedt like Philipp Wilhelm, however. He seems to have been given the title of margrave as he was a son of the Great Elector, but this was more honorary (unsure about substantive or courtesy) than anything. Unless we hear otherwise from the Naming Conventions board, I think we should keep C.L. at the current location for simplicity. Thanks for helping, though. Olessi 23:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: At Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Piotrus two users (so far) have mentioned that "many German users have problem with my behaviour" and "German editors have all shown the huge frustration from [my behaviour]." I'd appreciate comments - here or there - on whether this is the case and this sweeping generalization is indeed true. I ws not aware of any behaviour of mine which would have been negativly perceived by the German community on en wiki, but if this is the case, I'd appreciate any comments on how this may be fixed.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am one of the many German users, yet I did not add a statement to your RfAr which by now is accepted as Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Piotrus. I'm convinced that most Germans (Wikipedia editors or not) stay away from sensitive topics related to German history and geography in the first place, and those who dare to get involved are mostly very careful regarding possible conflicts with e.g. Polish sentiments. Thus it should not be taken for consent if German editors shy away from disputes with Polish editors.-- Matthead discuß!     O       15:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It was a hoax. This is the content of the deleted hoax article: "Unduetchër is a dialect of the German language, and is likely the least spoken dialect. It greatly differs from the other speakings of the language. Unduetchër comes from the early German tribe of "Unduetchë." The tribe was located on the early German/Russia bored before WWI (now poland)." Kusma (talk) 11:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Der König ist tot, lang leben die Könige Westdeutschland und Deutschland! Please have a look at the vote Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Germany national football team. This article should be deleted as Germany national football team should cover also the history of the DFB team from 1949 to 1990. There are people claiming that West Germany and Germany were "2 very different tams. The only reason why FIFA granted Germany the 3 World Cups West Germany won is because they didn't want those titles to be wasted. The article right now is very specific oriented and many people are quite pleased".
