replies: text: Not really; it just implies that most German Wikipedians live in West Germany and therefore didn't have access to libraries where the materials could be found. —Angr 17:40, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Such books are also in East German libraries often since 1989/90 not longer to find. And it's not easy to find a book, if you don't know waht exactly you looking for. And the term "West Germany" is not unusual today, but there's also East-, North- and South Germany, sometmes also Southwest, Northeast and so on. Marcus Cyron 10:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "West Germany", "South Germany" and so on sounds like the name of the state for me (like "North Korea" and "South Korea"). I would prefer "western Germany", also the article is named "western Germany", while "West Germany" refers to the state. @Angr: Can you tell me whether there are statistics about the location of German Wikipedians? --Grandy02 19:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I hardly doubt there are. I doubt also that most german wikipedians live in western germany.--Tresckow 10:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know of any statistics about the location of German Wikipedians, but considering that most Germans live in West(ern) Germany, it seems likely that also most German Wikipedians do. —Angr 11:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What utter nonsense is this? -->  "but considering that most Germans live in West(ern) Germany, it seems likely that also most German Wikipedians do". So you don't know a thing about it but you anyway imply it's true?? No one says East-Germany or West-Germany anymore.  It is a political term and not a term for a certain region. West-Germany is not the same as Western Germany. "West"-Germany is made up of parts from the North, the west and south. Most of the so called East is in truth in the middle of Germany, the other part in the north and the rest is truly east, on the border to, say, Poland. The terms Southern or Northern Germany are much more in use than the other two. For obvious reasons. —Frieeedaaa (talk) 01:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I've noticed of late that the German wikipedia seems to have flabbergastingly better coverage of music than the English wiki does; they've thousands more articles on art-music composers and jazz figures, and have even beat the English wiki to the punch on a rather large number of American and British pop musicians. I wonder whether this has been noticed by the outside world. Chubbles (talk) 01:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Better just call it, the superiority of German Wikipedia in general. Less-ridden with pop-culture, more in tune with the real classics. -`WikiSkeptic (talk) 08:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I mean, the Germans were the first to music, why give that title up on any other website amirite? Angerxiety 20:47, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

message: The revert of my changes concerning the ranking of the German Wikipedia was undone, bacause the permanent graph of the 12 most important wikipedias shows that by now three wikipedias (English, Swedish, Dutch) are ahead of the German Wikipedia, as far as the number of articles is concerned. --~~
