Article seems to be very biased. By the way, there is not even a word in it about the first globe designed by Behaim.-- Begemotv2718 06:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Reference made to a "state-funded Digital Globe Project" - what is this and where is it? I could find nothing more about it on the Internet.
I have found numerous references and even screen shots of it, but have been unable to discover how to acquire it. I'll go to the German site anon. -- YankeeInCA 02:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
As a student of linguistics and German who has been living in Germany for a year or so, I find the translation here to be a little inaccurate. Yes, in a blind translation "Erdapfel" does mean earth-apple (Erde = earth, Apfel = apple). However, the word Erdapfel actually referrs to a potato in many dialects of German (instead of High German's "Kartoffel"). Can anyone back up that this is perhaps what is really meant?

From the opening sentence in the article. This must be an ethnic slur so I am removing it immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.196.72.207 ( talk) 03:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
