User talk:ZH2010 - Knowledge (XXG)

718:" I put 2 reliable sources, which were written by the city of Cologne, that more or less discredit this. The section I took out said that it was already a city in 50 AD. The Romans only found it then. The section I took out also states that the city became a capital in 50 AD. My source, which I'm mentioning again is written from the city of Cologne, says that Cologne didn't become a capital until 85 AD. So, the section is more credible because I deleted the unsourced statement and replaced it with a sourced statement. So, can we please move on to actually? Are you familiar with referencing on Knowledge (XXG)? 603:. There is no way I can verify that statement until there is a source. The opening paragraph states that "The threshold for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG) is verifiability, not truth: whether readers can check that material in Knowledge (XXG) has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." You may think, or even know as a hard fact, that statement I deleted is true. But I definitely don't know if this is true or not and I require a source to verify that statement. 442:

I'll accept that Cambridge goes the other way but my understanding was that the OED is the ultimate reference, if ever such a thing existed for British English. (I don't wish to inflame the debate, I don't pretend to know the answer and I don't wish to choose sides: I merely want to understand why you are against adding periods at the end of St when it is what the OED prescribes and it's what is commonly done for abbreviations anyway.)

Cologne" (but there is also "Rödelheim (Frankfurt am Main)") - My feeling is also, that the komma may be suitable for countries or any form of political subdivision. In case of purely geographic localisations, using round brackets may emphasize that it is not a subdivision (see: Brühl (Baden), Frankfurt (Oder), etc)? As for the articles with "/", i suppose i just leave them as they are. --

OMG, i bet you have no clue about the history of Cologne and just want to go fishing for references - with the only goal to give a reference? Study the city's history, why it got elevated and you will see that noone needs a reference there! this conversation is ridiculous: Why did you remove the link

554:

i dont see a problem. i see those two photos for both the bare information they show and their scenic impression. a gallery in this location would just reduce them to technical availability. demographics doesnt need images and the way the images are grouped now, fills out that right-side empty space.

Hallo- i added it to Rheinland as i would consider it part of the geographical region... not the Prussian Rhine Province.

Hi guys -- just a simple, related question: you say the page should be in British English and should therefore not have a period after the abbreviation for "Saint". However, when I check the Oxford English Dictionary for the word 'Saint', it only contains the abbreviation _with_ period, not without.

line-of-images (like the landmarks in the Cologne article) would make them look less random and less un-encyclopaedic. --- for all other sections (cities, geographic regions, economy and all) i would like to put images into right-sided rows (no gallery!) cause images in those sections should have a

The "foundation" of a settlement typically refers to its first establisment. The incorporation as a town or city is an important step in its history, but not the settlement's "foundation".

Sorry, if i have to continue this, but your latest additions also fall into my above-mentioned critism: You added a new section "tourism", but apart from the number of tourists/nights, it only says that Cologne has plenty of night clubs and pubs? is it your intention to portray the city's tourism

1570:

Hey, first of all: CALM DOWN!!! I am adding a few dots to an article (no: a list) that is anything but consistent, is lacking dozens of links to existing articles and is least consistent in regards to naming (or why are there all those hiddeen links?) - and all i am getting from you are funny
