Which one, and why? What do we have as clear evidence for one or the other? Applying Americanisms like "downtown" and "railroad" to a European article seems bizarre. Andy Dingley ( talk) 21:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #70: "ISBN with wrong length", I removed the ISBN from the entry:
David Brebis (ed.), Michelin guide to Germany, Greenville (2006), p. 324. ISBN 086699077417
I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. Many editions of this guide exist, but I could not find an edition with David Brebis as editor, and WorldCat does not list an edition for 2006. Knife-in-the-drawer ( talk) 13:56, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Lipsk is mentioned as the original root of the name in the first section under the introduction. I don't see any reason why the Polish name should be given in the introduction. Dresden and Chemnitz are relatively near border regions or Sorbian areas so it might be debatable in those cases but in the case of Leipzig any linguistic links date back to early historical times afaik and therefore the correct place to mention it is in the early historical or history of the name section.

Hello @ Kgfleischmann: The speaker in the sound file ( File:Leipzig.ogg) clearly does not show standard pronunciation. The last sound is a /ɕ/ (which does not even exist in standard German phonology) instead of the /ç/ that it should be. The "l" sounds quite dark, approximating an /ɫ/ instead of the standard German /l/. The /ɪ/ does not sound very clearly either, it approximates an /ɪ̈/. All in all, this is not a good example of the standard German pronunciation of "Leipzig" (and not the Leipzig local variant, either) and therefore should not be embedded in the article, because it teaches users an irrelevant, non-standard variant instead of informing them of the "correct" German pronunciation.

in the Table Demografics, 8th (Turkey)
the figure of German Turkeys is printet as 218. In the linked source it is 918.
As test: 2,467 (all) minus 1,549 (without citizenship) isnt equal 218, please change it, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.184.27.234 ( talk) 12:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
The article cites a book that, apparently, says the liberation involved fierce fighting, whereas http://members.iinet.net.au/~gduncan/1944.html says the liberators were greeted. I don't have access to the book, and the Web site gives no citation. Maybe someone could check. Kdammers ( talk) 17:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
