Happy editing! -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 09:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
At first glance, the changes you are making to road signs in Germany look good but straight away I noticed you are using embedded links like Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, which are not allowed. It will be easiest if I fix it for you and that will demonstrate how to do any new ones. Give me today to do that before you resume editing. If you really want to know "The Rules", see wp:Manual of style but most people learn by trial and error! -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 09:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I'm honestly quite new to this and am not sure how it all works.
I thought that using the embedded text would be easier and I saw it done on a few German pages but I assume that it's not allowed here, I see, so you have to use citations instead.
Thanks for the help again. One question: I saw on the Talk Page that there were some concerns about the page becoming too much just images and less an article. I have no problem with adding a precise English translation of the exact definition (what the traffic signs mean exactly) but I was afraid that that would be too complex for this article. Would I be 'allowed' to do that (add exact traffic sign definitions and historical info) or should I rather not? -- Thekerbal ( talk) 11:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Oh, one more thing: In the gallery captions I keep on having to use the template 'line break' to go down one line which takes a bit of time. Is there any other way to move down one line in an image caption when using the visual editor? Thanks. Thekerbal ( talk) 11:34, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
