Friedrich Kellner

I have a website about Friedrich Kellner on the English Wikipedia and on the German Wikipedia. I would like to somehow link one to the other. I tried that on my English page at the bottom, but I believe you felt it was not done correctly. Could you let me know what I should do? I looked at the help pages, but I was unable to discover an answer. I greatly appreciate your help. The diary is an important historical document, and I do want to make these sites as good as they can be. Thanks a lot,(Rskellner 06:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Electoral Palace Mainz

and other Mainz stuff

Hi Symposiarch,

I have no problem with others doing my work - the only article that I really had wanted to do was Deutschhaus Mainz, so I could get a link to Republic of Mainz on the Main Page :-) But if you have a list of things that need doing (other than the redlinks in this article) and want to share it, maybe I will find something that I want to translate but haven't thought of yet. Feel free to suggest any Mainz-related article and I'll try my best. By the way, there is some more Main Page coverage for Mainz coming up soon: Georg Forster, my only Featured Article, will be article of the day next Tuesday.

Do you have any references that could be added to

Electoral Palace Mainz? If yes, please add some, and a referenced article with a nice picture about a building of this importance should easily get a spot on Template:Did you know on the Main Page. Nominations can be made at Template talk:Did you know

. If you want, I can nominate the article for you, but without references, it will probably fail unless we can produce a REALLY interesting fact.

Mainz Cathedral GA nom failed

Thanks for nominating the article. As far as I can tell, the prose is excellent, and everything else is great, except for one thing...inline citations. The

GA guidelines state that articles must be referenced using an acceptable style of inline citation (criteria 2b), and, unfortunately, the article at this time has no inline citations whatsoever, which means I cannot pass the article for GA status at this time. I realize that a lot of this was translated from German, but apparantly you live in Mainz and speak German. Perhaps you could get the books that were used as sources out of a local library and then use Template:Cite book for all the facts in the article? Just a suggestion. Gutes Glück (hopefully I translated that right) and happy editing, Green451 02:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply

BTW I heard somewhere that Goethe also (probably for fun) fired a cannon during the siege, but that shot didn't hit anything. If we can find a source for that statement, perhaps "...that during the Siege of Mainz, German poet Goethe fired a cannon at the city?" is a more interesting DYK entry, However, as long as it's a rumor from my memory, it's not good enough I guess :-( Kusma (討論) 09:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Palatinate of the Rhine

Hi there, I noticed you recently added

Palatinate of the Rhine to the WineProject. I am not sure I agree with your decision. I agree with you that the Rhine valley is a very important wine growing region. Since you are from Mainz I am sure that you are well aware of this fact. My objection is that the article has to do with a historic political entity that no longer exists. Es gibt einfach keinen Kurpfalz mehr. Unless you are creating a article about the history of wine making, then it might be relevant, but that should probably be an article of itself. I would suggest you design modern political entities as relevant to wine growing, or focus on regions: Rheinland-Pfalz, Rhine River Vally, Baden-Württemberg, something like that. imars 12:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Rheinland-Pfalz would be a good idea, as it comprises 66% of the area cultivated with grapes in Germany. --Symposiarch 13:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Archbishopric of Mainz

Hi Symposiarch,

Good to have someone from Mainz aboard! I was considering creating a separate article for the State Electorate of Mainz from the article for the Archbishopric. What do you think?

Also, I had changed the predecessor of the Mainz to the Duchy of Franconia because it was from Rhenish Franconia that the ecclesiastical principalities for Mainz, Worms and Speyer came to power. (See [1]) I think this is preferable to having Nothing as a prededessor since the area did have a government before the Archbishopric gained power.

Cheers! Tartessos75 20 October 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 18:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salve Tartessos75, for the State Electorate of Mainz you are right, there was a predecessor, but not for the ecclesiastic bishopric of Mainz. But it was not the Duchy of Franconia--Symposiarch 20:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's the problem with the info box. Although it is a "Former States" info box, the information it contains is a mixture of info about the secular state and the ecclesiastical archbishopric.

Tartessos75 —Preceding comment was added at 00:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is not only a problem of the infobox. This had been adressed in

WP:GER/MZ, but not yet resolved.--Symposiarch 09:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply

Mainz addition / Mainz DYK

Hello Symposiarch, I must say that I am a bit... well, angry is the wrong word - irritated I guess - at two things you did recently. First you place Port of Mainz at DYK, without telling me (I was going to say COMPETING with or CHANGING my own submission, but you actually got in there first, to boot!) so that YOUR hook about the Roman port was accepted instead of MY own hook about the staple rights. I had been planning that hook for a few days, but first wanted to finish the article!

Well, you meant well, and it DID end up on DYK - but please ask the creator next time, he may have his own opinions on appropriate hooks and so on! Cheers Ingolfson (talk) 07:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, the second thing - your addition about Napoleonic times and how the stones of the Martinsburg were used for the port. As a reference you give the German article (when it is necessary to give another wiki (not good anyway) as a reference, then please put it in the article as a ref, not in the edit history, where it will be gone and lost soon). However, the German article had no references at all! Not good at all - I'll root a round a little to see if I can find any real references, if not... Please always provide references. See ya - Ingolfson (talk) 07:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just found your comments here. I did not want to irritate you. I did not reflect your potential objectives. --Symposiarch (talk) 16:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silvaner & GG

Hello Symposiarch! Saying that certain grape varieties may be used for Grosses Gewächs in certain Anbaugebiete is not POV, as you indicated in this edit, but rather a fact, since VDP's GG rules specify which varieties may be used in which regions:[2]. However, your edit had the positive effect that I read and added a reference to this document which made me realise that both Franconia and Saale-Unstrut may produce GG Silvaner; the latter was not stated before. Tomas e (talk) 14:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you are nearly right. It is Erste Lage--Symposiarch (talk) 15:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erste Lage is the umbrella designation covering the classified vineyards and the logotype. Wines are named Erste Lage only if they come from Mosel. The wines, if made dry, are called Grosses Gewächs in 11 of 13 regions, including the two which may use Silvaner. The only non-dry EL wines I've seen so far are Rieslings from Mosel. Tomas e (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If even the Germans do have problems with the understanding of these designations, I have a bad feeling with the marketing organization...--Symposiarch (talk) 17:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of German wine regions

Hey Symposiarch, I was wondering if you would look over this article for spelling/capitalization/general errors/etc and also consider what location names should be wiki-linked. Thanks! Agne^Cheese/^Wine 01:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a test for me {;-)) It is not easy to consider what locations of relevance should be wiki-linked. --Symposiarch (talk) 10:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

mediaman Wikipedia Article

Hello Symposiarch, I am writing in response to your post on the page mediaman regarding the statement that the page is an advertisement. While the page is not intended as an advertisement, the US office of mediaman did make the mistake by entering an article about our company. Nevertheless mediaman would like to maintain our page on Wikipedia, but we would like to better conform to Wiki standards. Like other agencies who have profiles on Wiki, we are an important player in the digital marketing industry, especially in the German market, and have created notable innovations for our clients, such as Mercedes. More importantly, there is also a need for people getting factual information on our company. We have tried to edit the article and remain as neutral as possible regarding information. We believe we have met all the Wikipedia requirements.

Would you have any recommendations in order to remove the flag from the article? Would you possibly be willing to edit or create a German version so that it better suits Wiki standards?

I greatly appreciate your advice in how to best proceed.PaperCompass (talk) 14:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)PaperCompass[reply]

Helau

Thanks for the Mainz article. I changed a bit, please check. I looked up the title that I didn't understand, "Matters and Character", and found "Inhalt and Wesen" - Contents & ? (does carnival have Wesen? - but read much more about contents in the other parts, therefore suggest a new title there rather than a translation. (I would go as far as changing the German one as well - no fun in it, sounds more like philosophy than laughter.)

Well, "Inhalt and Wesen" should sound more encyclopedical. Probably you have seen that I wasn't able to finish translation before the holidays. Thank you for your attention. And always remember - it's a wiki! Narrhallamarsch and departure--Symposiarch (talk) 09:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Gerda, I fear I am not familiar enough with the Did you know...? regulations, the proper format and the credit templates!--Symposiarch (talk) 18:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo - please tell me how far you got, clicking on "nominate an article" on Main Page. It's all explained there, I probably couldn't do it better (in short: the "hook" statement has to have an inline citation right after it and of course has to be interesting, max 200 characters, article min 1500 - you are way above that). It's also good to read a few of the suggested hooks and commentary by editors - the hook (and the article) sometimes gets discussed back and forth. I found all editors helpful, especially to a newcomer. The nomination template looks like this: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=}} - just 3 fields to fill and then put it on top of Feb 15. Then watch the page for questions. The credit comes when the DYK appears. - Nothing to loose. (But please change "Matters" in that heading, that's "Materie".) I suggest you come up with a hook right here and we discuss it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So you nominated already! (But not with the template?) Please: put a reference right after the cinema sentence in the article - a simple rule. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, don't give up too soon! I had an article like that, Siegfried Palm, translated from German, no inline-citation whatsoever - look how many I found. I believe the article is now better than the German one. Perhaps you can use some of your external links as references? You can put (in German) behind German ones, typically they get "accepted in good faith". Google helps a lot. All the best --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reclassifying

What has prevented me from reclassifying is simply that I didn't know that I was supposed to do that. I also have no idea about the rating system. There are simply things that I let others judge.

I suppose I also find it a bit conceited to rate my own work. If you think these articles deserve a higher rating, by all means, give them one. Kelisi (talk) 09:27, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Symposiarch,

thnaks for your good wishes! --Nixus Minimax (talk) 07:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Symposiarch-- I'm referred to you by Gerda Arendt, who suggested in our discussion "Something fishy" that you may know more about Carnival traditions than she.

I'm still puzzled by the tradition of starting Carnival as early as 11 November rather than at Shrovetide, but here my specific question has to do with this paragraph which doesn't seem to make sense (my emphasis below):

• Although the festival and party season in Germany starts as early as the beginning of January, the actual carnival week starts on the Thursday ("Weiberfastnacht") before Ash Wednesday. German carnival parades are held on the weekend before and especially on Rosenmontag (Rose Monday), the day before Shrove Tuesday, and sometimes also on Shrove Tuesday ("Faschingsdienstag") in the suburbs of larger carnival cities. The carnival session [is season meant?] begins each year on 11 November at 11:11 a.m. and finishes on Ash Wednesday with the main festivities happening around Rosenmontag; this time is also called the "Fifth Season."

Is "the beginning of January" simply wrong, or is this another special date in the celebration of Carnival? It's all very confusing. (And I still don't understand in what sense a "carnival" continues from November until Lent.) Thanks for any help you may be able to give. Milkunderwood (talk) 01:46, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well

In the early history of carnival, the carnival clubs had been refounded and suspend every year. Due to that the classical refounding date, comprising a general assembly, was 11 November, the day before the christian christmas lent season. Nowadays these general assemblys are also held, in order to prepare the fifth season. So the days before christmas are the time to design choreography (dance), to draw up stage designs, to create verses to new and old songs etc.. The fifth season starts 1 January, e.g. in Mainz with a great parade. Durings the weeks until the socalled carnival week, carnival sessions are performed each week-end as a show for strangers, literally stranger sessions, but also during the week internally in smaller groups, like pub carnival societies, parishes and singing clubs. Street carnival is the high season and starts with Fat Thursday. But don't ask me for references, this is just tradition. In order to get more attention, smaller towns and villages prepone their festivities, which increases confusion to outsiders and dilutes tradition. Helau says --Symposiarch (talk) 09:08, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's very helpful information, about the "Christmas Lent season". User:Michael Bednarek has also posted in response to a question I had left at Talk:Cologne#Carnival a reference to Elferrat as an explanation for 11/11 11:11 (which I had been trying to associate somehow with 11AM 11/11/1918). Even without any references, it would be useful to puzzled readers if you or someone could provide a bit of explanatory discussion of the Christmas Lent season and perhaps the Elferrat, as well as what is referred to as the "fifth season" in some of these various Carnival articles. Anyone not familiar with the Elferrat tradition will naturally think of the WWI Armistice as being the obvious source of "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month".

And the paragraph I quoted from Carnival in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, which jumps from "the beginning of January" to "the Thursday before Ash Wednesday", to "11 November at 11:11 a.m." makes no sense at all, the way it's organized, and with no explanation provided. That paragraph already has no sources provided, and I shouldn't think sources would be required for a clearer and fuller explanation. Milkunderwood (talk) 19:14, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found myself Lulling around a bit while fixing a footnote in a chapter I'm writing on the Boniface correspondence--which also needs an article. Those two articles from Tangl, NA 40/41, are always giving me a headache--I can never decide whether to cite the two separate articles or that 1966 reprint.
