Hi everyone. I invite you all to participate in the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#City related articles infoboxes to come to a common interpretation about the infobox image format for the city related articles. It would be of a great help. 456legend talk 16:57, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

An article relevant to this Wikiproject is being considered for FA status (See Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/archive1). Any comments would be appreciated. Llewee ( talk) 00:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I have been meaning to start this discussion for a while but just now getting around to it. Hoping someone is active on German Wikipedia that can advise. We have had a persistent sock farm on EN Wikipedia that has attempted to create a page for Jishnu Raghavan. They have threatened to keep coming back until the page is created and have attempted it dozens of times from multiple accounts in different name variations to avoid detection. You can see the SPI here which goes back to 2022. While we have been playing whack a mole with them on EN Wikipedia, they have created the page in about 20 other language Wikipedia projects (including German). Does anyone know if DE Wikipedia has the same G5 policy as EN Wikipedia? CNMall41 ( talk) 01:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Currently, the only article on "Hans Julius Wolff" is the one on the jurist. There is no article about the administrative scientist. The problem is, under 1898 births/1976 deaths, there is the Hans Julius Wolff article. Remember, the Hans Julius Wolff article on (English) Wikipedia is about the jurist, NOT the administrative scientist. And, taking into account the previous knowledge, it is disheartening to learn that the admin. scientist was the one who was born in 1898 and died in 1976. Also, (admittedly, the more Germany-related part of this) the English Wikipedia "Hans Julius Wolff" article is under the People from Elberfeld and Jurists from North Rhine-Westphalia categories. The jurist was from Berlin. Check out Hans Julius Wolff (Rechtshistoriker) vs. Hans Julius Wolff (Verwaltungswissenschaftler) on German Wikipedia. Cheers, Helminths Hooray!

Hello everyone, I'm cleaning up Category:Cakes right now and I came across this German dessert. Can anyone let me know if this is thought of as more of a pie or a cake? It currently has the Category:German pies category, but it looks like a cake to me. Cheers! BaduFerreira ( talk) 03:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Please could someone familiar with the topic take a look at German language in the United States, which has a very large, and old, cleanup notice? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Kaunas Fortress has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:09, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
{{ WikiProject West Germany}} simply wraps {{ WikiProject Germany}}, and is neither a WikiProject nor a task-force, weirdly in limbo between the two, and seems like a work-around or a compromise to some discussion or prevailing sentiment back in/before 2016. If so, has consensus been reached in one direction or another? Should transclusions of {{ WikiProject West Germany}} be kept as-is and added to other West Germany topics, or changed to {{ WikiProject Germany}}? ~ Tom.Reding ( talk ⋅ dgaf) 14:08, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a supposedly prophetic quote in Spengler's article…
… with one 1964 book as source. While that book does provide the quote, in turn citing an unknown other source, if you search it on Google, you get no more than 19 self-referencing results.
For a quote of that caliber, this seems far too few to be deemed reliable. You'd expect it to be all over works from the past 75+ years.

I have created a draft translation of the German Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen article. I am having trouble satisfying notability requirements for the English Wikipedia, particularly due to a lack of sources. Any assistance would be appreciated in constructing the article to satisfy guidelines. Tule-hog ( talk) 02:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
For years, it has really grinded my gears that loads of articles about German people use time periods ( Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany; a recent example I have come across is Paul von Hindenburg) as the location in the place of birth/death section of the infobox. That seems utterly senseless to me. The country was never called Weimar Republic or Nazi Germany. These are time periods, not locations! How would Americans like it if I changed the infobox for William Randolph Hearst to read born in San Francisco, American Civil War?! Has this ever been discussed?

Editors are invited to contribute to the discussion at Template talk:Hanoverian princes to decide whether individuals, where no proper source verifies the claim that someone is a prince of Hanover, should be removed from the template. -- Theoreticalmawi ( talk) 17:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Giant Schnauzer has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page.

I have suspicions that this BLP might be either an WP:AUTOBIO or a paid article. The creator cited German-language sources. Is there anyone available who can verify whether the coverage meets the requirements of significant and in-depth coverage as outlined in WP:N? — Saqib ( talk | contribs) 18:34, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Soviet War Memorial (Treptower Park) about the war memorial's naming history that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Classicwiki ( talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 15:27, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
I'm hopeful that members of this project might be able to fill out some of the missing sources for an article on this art critic and historian. I've got to a bid of a blank about his wider career, and am struggling to find sources that mention the statue that is dedicated to him in Baden-baden. Many thanks Lajmmoore ( talk) 07:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
The Hin Bredendieck article was created by the subject's great-grand-nephew. I have no opinion on whether Hin Bredendieck is notable enough to warrant an article, but I thought it would be prudent to ask, here, for an expert on Germany to give it a look and weigh in.
