in one comprehensive location all the detail on the European credentials of the city, the use of the old Council buildings by both the CoE and the EP, the choice of Strasbourg by the Council and later by the Parliament and the ensuing debate, the relationship with the authority in Strasbourg (buying the buildings), the European Washington D.C.-style plan (I can't find any English data on that, all in French and German, can you take a look?), impact of the institutions on the city (you can't get a hotel room when the Parliament is in session), the European nature of the people (one of the few areas to have a strong vote for the constitution). Anyway, you get the idea. I could help on it but one of the big problems I faced when I last looked into it was the lack of English language data. If you know of good places to look, it might be an idea. What do you think? -

2133:

rules are quite different from those in English. Perhaps you know more about what they should be. There are no pictures, even though I really like the ones in the German article. They are not available on the English wiki or in the Commons area. Can you upload them to Commons, or should I try to find someone else who can do that? I assume that they are not under copyright protection by now! I translated everything in the "selected works" section that wasn't italicized -- but then encountered some words which clearly were not in modern German spelling! I went ahead and translated them, anyway, though they may somehow be part of the title (but not in italics). It is ready for proofreading, when you get the time.

over the media which is why I know about it. Although I myself am pro-Brussels it is not by much and only for pragmatic reasons - I love Strasbourg and it is a fantastic city so I hope he brings forward the pro-Strasbourg arguments, I love debate, I just wish he would cite it more. One thing I am concerned about it the citations being weighed to very few people. For example, the criticism of Wallström. I can't even find the press release he talked about, let alone a single other reference to any criticism of her anyway (on anything actually, she is very popular). As you're pro-Strasbourg, I hope you can thicken out the sources? Thanks. -

2703:

mind.) The issues don't occur so much in the US (as far as I know, not watching TV news), so it might well require some explanation to the English-speaking public, which I'm not sure I could adequately do. The page is closed for many updates in de because of vandalism, so I'm not sure if the same thing would occur here, too. Just 'cuz I'm a Heldin doesn't necessarily mean that I want to write about every Frauenrechtlerin. :-) I find myself somewhere in between the two "camps" in this area, and I'm not sure I want to "take a stand" by getting involved with this debate. :-{ But thanks for thinking of me...

2585:... and Richard Oelze, too? I haven't looked at it yet, but it does make sense to have plenty of stuff for me to work on for the rest of the evening. :-) BTW, I don't think it's a good idea to move pages off the DE translation page until they are Completed (done with proofreading). Otherwise, they're likely to get lost. I just recovered a bunch of templates that had never been moved to the DE page and were lost in the monthly files from the main translations page. Unless, of course, you want to say that you officially proofread Palais Rohan, Strasbourg... 4400:

socialite. Please give a hard look to the version you just restored and make sure it's free of unsourced and PoV commentary, e.g., " claims regarded by most as preposterous", "conspiracy theories like that led many to question her sanity." Even a sourced statement about the extremity of her views comes across as PoV when placed up front in an article that's subject to such contention as this one. (And, finally, the article isn't "mine"; it's Knowledge's, and I'm just trying to make the thing as neutral as possible.)

6495: 1973:

never heard of it before. I've also never heard of (Mother or) Father of the House. I got the little understanding I had of it by a quick glance at the Wiki article about the EU Parliament. (Sorry, JLogan. We may need to use British spelling and such sometimes, but we can't leave the text incomprehensible to Americans, either. :-) ) So I'm very glad to have your explanatory text added to the article, even if the original German article had it as a single word.

6140: 5096: 5035: 5006: 6376: 6233: 5826: 5715: 5259: 3389: 2673:), I could simply look up which ones applied and figure out the English names for the paintings -- but I don't! So I'm doing the best I can. I'm using Wiki to look up each painter and see if the name of the painting is mentioned. I'm learning lots about painters, but I don't always find the name of the painting. So then I have to fall back on a straight translation from the German title. Ugh, not fun. 173: 6299: 4588:- also, his user page does say that one of his goals is to see the keywords "Pseudo Science or Pseudo History are included in all pages dealing with the works of Holocaust Revisionists AKA Holocaust Deniers / Genocide Deniers, as these keywords seem to be missing from many of these articles giving the false impression about this kind of research."I did ask him to read 6579: 6004: 4980: 3067:. Thought I'd just run the title by you before its create: "Strasbourg and European integration". If not that, then maybe "Strasbourg as a European centre"? I don't really want to use capital for obvious reasons - same as Brussels - and can't relate just to the EU like I did with Brussels. What do you think?- 5322:

The photo that you added certainly represents a splendid example. However, all the pics have been chosen for the clear details of their image, so that the narrative is obviously apparent to the viewer. If you look down the article, towards the bottom is a section for particularly fine examples, which

2785:

Thanks for suggesting another translation. It's been rather quiet today. Perhaps too quiet. I got into mischief and re-filed the requests on the German translation page, as you no doubt saw. I hope that will be OK. I didn't mean for people not to post new stuff at the top as before, just that the

2660:

I understand what you mean. The weird thing, from my point of view, is that it is geared toward being about the BBC show (in the English Wiki), but clearly geared toward being about the German show (in the German Wiki). En even has it categorized under BBC programs. The order of the sections had to

2636:

I'm working on this translation. It doesn't look like the previous translator has touched it for a long time and it needs a lot of loving care. I'm not done yet (as of this writing) and it doesn't look like it will be quick to complete. But since I know you know something about art, could you take

2422:

Betr: Mining, that's OK. I did the translation and then asked on the F60 Diskussion page for someone to look it over -- and someone did! :-) Of course, the translation template wasn't changed, so someone still has to "proofread" it, but I think the terminology should be OK. Now, what kind of trouble

2132:

I have finished a translation of Eulogius Schneider's article. Again, it needs categorization. It has a lot of difficult words, which I hope I adequately translated. I also have some uncertainties about the capitalization of various things (offices, committees, etc.), since the German capitalization

1931:

AH! Fantastic, one of the big articles we've been missing! Been so annoyed we didn't have that one for ages but never got around to doing anything. Great, and sorry about wikilinking to the person, slight foul up. I just saw the slightly misplaced wikilink at the bottom of the page and thought it was

1892:

Thank you for your note! You may address me as "Heldin", please. :-) I make no promises about which articles I will translate. I prefer articles that have very little (or no) information in them to begin with. It is too hard to combine both sets of information -- and what if they don't agree? As

1674:

Hi. Recently there have been some great images of the EP in Brussels popping up on WikiCommons but it seems like we are lacking for Strasbourg. Well, we have plenty of the outside of the main building but not the other buildings or the inside (only one of the hemicycle). When I was there I took a few

1612:

Oh sorry to bring this article up again, A has put up a summery of the four options in regards to the city table. From previous discussions Lear has been the only person in favour of the current one and has reverted any changes. A quick run round of opinions should either show him he is in a minority

1254:

Oh not again. Do you think this is worth fighting about? I like to compromise but he is just pushing his stuff all the time and no doubt if no one does anything then he will start again on his other edits which will destroy the GA attempt. I personally find it messy to have them left and right, and I

4881:

You might need to ask an expert for help. I should point out that I'm not making fun of your user ID, I actually do have trouble remembering user names unless they stand out in some way. Because I put a comment on your page, you're on my watch list for the time being, so I should be able to remember

4399:

I'm sorry you hastened to revert my edits while I was in the middle of them. If you've got the energy for it, please fix the article to your satisfaction. It is pushed and pulled every which way by the factions who portray her variously as a neo-Nazi monster or a sad misunderstood beauty queen and

2334:

The story of the 1349 Pogrom in Strasbourg is interesting, but I find that I have to agree with the discussion page that the many old German and Latin quotes without any translation into modern language make it difficult to understand and thus nearly impossible to translate into English. If you (or

1705:

Really? Okay, well I found one person from there who is in Strasbourg, if I don't hear anything I'll try a general question on there somewhere. I wish it was easier to find them here, if only there was a category. You know there is no userbox for Strasbourg on here (that I can find). Anyway, I found

1204:

Hi, sorry to ask but both I and Arnoutf are away for a while now. When you have a moment can you take a look at the EU article now and then to make sure it things stay under control. I know I can trust your judgement in this so you have my support for anything you need to do, whatever you decided is

1093:

Could be there is just nothing on the net. But if it was notable it would have been picked up by the press, if it is nowhere then I don't think it should be there. It does have to be notable to appear on Knowledge after all, and we can't talk about the personal opinions of every MEP. Are we going to

524:

He boxed in the 30's, smaller sizes for boxers doesn'y sound unreasonable to me. We can leave him at 6 ft 7 in but I am going to add a few more refs, ala Andre. As for Toni he was removed before for disputed heights, and the other fella...notable? That's debatable, I don't think he is but I am going

396:

Ok, now you are starting to seem like a vandal, please stop reverting my edits or im going to have to report you, and you will most likely be blocked, and i have to say its very immature of you to call it ARYANISATION, I HATE HITLER HE ALMOST COST MY FAMILY THEIR LIVES AND I WOULDNT BE HERE TODAY IF

311:

Its hard to understand what you just said,but i should tell you that im not doing anything at all to "manipulate" history, im just following the rules by adhering to the agreements on naming places, and on not making personal attacks. anyway, hopefully you read the entirity of the previous message i

4721:

Thanks for your replies here and on my talk page. My previous remark was directed to the sources available from the article page. I agree that the new sources you have cited on your talk page and on mine make the matter clear. So I'm copying this exchange to the article's talk page, where it will

4101:

Can you please check on a fact in the St. Madeleine article? There is a decree from 1898 mentioned, but that date doesn't seem right to me, since Beblo's version of the church was in the early 1900s and it was rebuilt after that. Also, if you have any other translation suggestions, I'd love to hear

4050:

is now ready for you to look at. As I mentioned, my French is rather awful, so with the aid of a Google translation and my (smaller) French dictionary, I gave it a try. Be sure to check it out carefully. There are several unknown words in it, especially regarding the organ. I also had some trouble

3910:

I think I managed to get the museum picture uploaded to wikicommons! However, the accent and apostrophe are no longer in the picture name. :-( Not sure when I'll get around to doing the article, though. I had the hardest time trying to figure out the directions, but it doesn't really seem that bad

2985:

Indeed, now I think about it we are lacking any particular detail on Strasbourg as a European centre, if indeed you do have the information I have suggested above in any detail it might we productive for us to work on a new article about Strasbourg and European institutions? It could bring together

2152:

OK. Tirkfl has already proofread Eulogius, even before I asked him. :-) I just asked him about the pictures, so perhaps I'll soon be able to add them, too. I think they really add to the story. This one was frustrating to me because I had it about 2/3 done when I accidentally deleted everything

2022:

Absolutely! Vive la difference. ;-) By the way, I know you (RCS) have read at least the articles on Louise, Gundula and Zabern. Would you fill out the translation box so they can be categorized as "done", please? Or didn't you consider that you had done a complete proofreading? Thanks so much.

1972:

What the German article calls her is "Alterspräsidentin", which my big dictionary says is, "president by seniority". Literally, it means something like Age-president. According to the Wiki article that RCS cited, this position is reasonably common in various European parliaments, but as an Ami, I'd

1097:

One thing though, he is getting someone else to do the Strasbourg info, no doubt from within his org. If there is little citation, we can easily deal with that. But what concerns me is if the sole citation is of their own campaign material. How reliable is that, it would be hard to challenge him on

6629:

Harmful? My dear Gwen, you seem not to know what the case in question was all about. The irony of my edit - which I find funny - can be understood with the hindsight of how that case turned out, i. e. that the rape in question never took place and that the so-called victim was in fact a compulsive

4679:

from 1930 to 1945". An interesting addition, but I have a question about the content of your source. I can see that your source supports "from 1930", but from where do you get "to 1945"? The encyclopedia article indicates that Danjon encountered difficulties with the wartime German authorities,

3894:

Peut-etre. Mais... I don't think the first picture is in Wikimedia Commons. Do you know how to upload it there, if it is eligible for that? Otherwise, there is a picture at Image:Strasbourg-RemiLeblond-ENA-MAMC2.jpg, which isn't really as nice, but might do in an emergency. Not sure if I'll have

2702:

I do think I've read about her. (I read the ARD website every day.) It's a very long article and it uses a lot of words that I don't think would be in my dictionary. While I understand the concepts, I'm not sure I'd know what the appropriate English translations would be. (zB, Ehrenmord comes to

4430:

You have a point as well. I reverted them wholesale because I had believed that the basic article was more or less okay but plainly I had lost track of the thing and lots of fluff and puffery had made its way back in. That's what I was trying to fix. Anyhow I've been tweaking the thing, as you

3997:

OK, you can take a look at Rouffach now. There are several terms that have comments in the text that you should look at. One is that a French name for the Gymnasium is needed. Another is that either "town" or "city" should be decided on. The German article used both Ort and Stadt, so I was not

2849:

frustrating and inadequate, so I prefer to let someone else do it, if I can. :-) I'm nearly done, with the exception of the second picture (if possible, but I'm not going to try to upload it) and the question about what to do with the list of his printed works (if anything). So the article will

1074:

Oh I agree, which is why I've been taking it to the talk page and creating a separate section for the two arguments. In particular I don't have much in the way of pro-Strasbourg sources - he commented that I hadn't looked far for them but I didn't look far for Brussels, it's just everywhere - all

502:

So there are multiple sources that say he is 6 ft 5 in. You have two that say he is over 200 cm. Hmm, a situation like André the Giant perhaps? I advise we either delete him from the lsit citing irreconcilable sites...or we list all the sources on his homepage and simply write a ref like has been

4489:

Speculation about the internal workings of another editor's brain are off-topic and unneccessary. It's sufficient for our purposes to say that the edits are unhelpful or disruptive. If you start making guesses about someone's mental state, it can only drive the discussion off-topic, as you see

1874:

I wanted to let you know that I have completed the translation of the German article about the Severne affair. Thank you for your earlier edits to improve the translation. If you would like to proofread the article, it would be very helpful. I am especially uncertain about my translations of the

1058:

I was beginning to wonder but wasn't bothered unless the edits went too far. Although while I expected him to be in some kind of position, I didn't quite expect that position. Do you think this conflicts with Knowledge's policy at all? He isn't writing about his own organisation, if he does then

649:

kinds of racial slurs and insults. I see I warned you about personal attacks a few weeks ago. Please try to focus on the business of building an encyclopedia and refrain from focussing on what you perceive as the failings of other contributors. If you continue like this I will have to block you.

136:

Well I'm not an expert on this subject and as far as I can tell you pretty much disagree on wether or not the German name of scertain towns in Frace should be boldfaced or not. Calling it an attempt to re-write history seems to be needlesly confrontational (I could find no diffs where he actualy

554:

Yes, at this point it is likely you will receive a 24 hour block. Please do not continue revert warring on this. You and I see eye to eye here, RCS, and I agree that the list is too long, but if you keep getting blocked for revert warring, this will undermine your contribution to the consensus.

87:

proof. As the topic in question has gone through a couple of AfDs with the conclusion that entries should be cited; you will need to add a decent referenece for your additions (interview, quote etc.); as IMDB is open to being even more unreliable than here, I'm afraid that doesn't count as one.

3827:

I noticed that you have a couple of museum translation requests for German articles. I'm still getting used to Wiki again, after being off for several months. I'm currently doing some proofreading, but I might take a look at these two translations of yours after I've finished with them. But

847:

As I've discussed at length, this is a content dispute between you and the other user. I do not know much about the article's subject, and therefore am not really in a position to comment on what edits are helpful or unhelpful. Please note also that my talk page is not the Knowledge complaints

5135:

Coincidence. They just needed a Pole from the right, he is very high profile. His age is testament to his high profile (anti-communist). Especially considering the term is only two and a half years, I don't think they elected him to die quickly if that is what you mean by transition. The more

4894:

Never mind. Yes, this page is extremely difficult to edit and i can see the purpose of why it has been conceived so. For the time being i won't make any request, but you must admit that all these IP's suddenly popping up on ANI is very strange. Another admin's input should be helpful. Cheers,

1561:

I think word is spreading. Reads like a promo but I suppose I expect it to. I've removed the images that don't illustrate it (CoE ones) and moved the logo into a normal position. Also added a cite tag for good measure. Not sure if we can do anything on that article as I for one don't have the

2156:

The article mentions very little about what Eulogius did in Strasbourg that was so horrible. Your comment compared him with Stalin, but other than 30 death sentences, I'm not sure what he really did. The quotes from his contemporaries actually shed more light on this than the story itself.

2085:

I have a preliminary copy of this one done. I'm not at all certain about many of the terms, so I could use your help. It also needs some categories. I'm told that if I put {{uncat]] at the top of the page, someone will come along and categorize it, but if you know what to do, be my guest.

3656:

I assume you saw that i have been talking on the talk page on Lauren Booth long before User:J ever noticed its very existence. Removing, for no good reason except WP:OWN (which is not a good reason either), an expression that had made the headlines of two of the main Israeli newspapers, and

1059:

perhaps action is needed but otherwise I say we just keep an eye on his edits to prevent bias. If we do that then I'm sure his contributions will be valuable (do hang around the talk page when you have the time though, incase I get into an edit war). Thanks for the heads up though. -

1796:

On the peer review thing, the main two things you might want to look at is adding more citation and turning some of the lists into prose. For example the institutions section could be improved if there was more of a prose discussion about them rather than a list. Good luck though. -

4031:

is now ready for you to look at, if you'd like. I'm not at all happy with the "footnotes" which point to external images. They don't follow the Wiki style and aren't really "References". Note that the images in notes 3 and 9 are identical. It looks like quite a magnificent church.

379:"...is it a conspiration against you ?" Well, I can't see why there would be a conpiracy? Haha, well the alsatian name also falls under the conflicting histories category, so i bolden that as well, but a conpiracy? a conspiracy would have to lead to the involved users being blocked 4680:

and it does not appear to be made clear that he remained in post e.g. during the period 1942-45. Unless there is clear positive averment of Danjon's continuance in post to 1945, I suggest that the article text might better be restricted to say just "from 1930". With good wishes.

1562:

resouces, however this will start to become a problem if every European organisation in the city starts trying to advertise themselves here. I'm going to put a note on the Council of Europe talk page reminding people of policy. Any suggestions on how to deal with this though? -

2177:

Thanks for the info. I don't know much about Stalin, to tell you the truth. There are also articles about Schneider in French and Spanish. Do you know if they contain any more information? If you translated anything into German, I could add it to the English article. :-)

1814:

And some seema tad familer from when I was in Strasbourg... But anyway, according to the tracers it is "Jean-Charles Cante", not listed on that page but he does have an email (Jean-Charles.Cante@coe.int). Do you think if we improve CoE articles a lot they would pay us? :) -

2383:

I assume that your "(r)" meant that I made a mistake in my German. Now you know why I can't write in German! (Kasus? Geschlecht? Deklination? Bahnhof???) One of these days I'll teach myself all that stuff but I'm having too much fun right now with what I'm already doing.

2237:

OK, now you can take a look and tell me how badly I messed up the terms. :-) Do you think I should translate the names of his works (zB, "string quartet", instead of "Streichquartett", usw)? Tirkfl is on holiday, so I don't suppose he'll be able to help out for a while.

2869:

Hello! Tirkfl just translated a German article about this French philatelist -- who happens to have been born in Strasbourg. If he's not on your lists of famous people, you can add him, and you can also add the appropriate category to the article itself, if you'd like.

3706:, about time I thought. I'm lacking detail though, know anything helpful? Also, I was wondering what you know about this plan from Strasbourg in July, that Roland Ries put forward a plan for a European district modelled on Washington D.C. in order to keep Parliament?- 4066:

Thanks for checking it out. I practically tore out my hair with the thing at the bottom, so I'm glad you figured it out. Do you have any other ideas? The other church you suggested is also in French and larger than Madeleine, and it wasn't much fun to do this one.

2738:

Necla ist jetzt da. It is not one of my better efforts and could still use cleanup, etc. I kept very little of the previous article, except the categories and the two links that are now the last two under "interviews", although I don't know if they still apply.

3102:

Created, well, stub-ish. Something is down now so it can be added to bit by bit. Can't work on it any longer right now, will come back to it when I haev the chance. I have a book on Brussels and the EU now so I will be working on that too when I get some time.-

5515:

It's not a usable source in the article, either (as is explained at the BLPN link I provided above). If a reliable source has published his vendetta against this woman, then it can be included. Meanwhile, you should be aware that BLP also covers talk pages.

2518:

Hey! you renamed the page while I was in the middle of editing it! Luckily, I had gotten up to get a bite to eat before I'd gotten very far in the next phase. :-) Have you looked at the "Rohan" disambig page? Lots and lots of fictional characters, etc.

1893:

I am mostly self-taught in German, I have some rather amazing gaps in my command of the language. If you proofread my translations, look out for things like singular/plural, tenses, leaving out a word or phrase after re-arranging a German sentence, etc.

1990:

Oh! I just looked at the page about Konrad Adenauer (for a different reason) and found the English word for the Alterspraesident is "doyen" (from the French) - more or less. It means "the senior member, as in age or rank, of a group, class, etc." Wow.

1504: 2823:

There is a list of things he printed on the Diskussion (!?!?!?!) page of the German article. A rather odd place to put that, if you ask me. Do you have any ideas what to do with them? Should I ignore them or try to fit them into the article somehow?

2613:

By the way, there are some pages that link to Arroyo, but Oelze seems to be an orphan. You might want to fix that. If you'd like to sign off any of the articles as officially proofread, that would be great. The list is getting a little bit long.

3981:

Thanks for the additional pointers. I think you'd better get busy and upgrade the German articles or add the information from the French site to the German one before I look at them. :-) (I think I mentioned once that my French is extremely bad.)

2804:

I just looked at Johannes' article. It looks pretty interesting. But what is a "49-line Latin Bible"? No matter how small the print is, I can't imagine a whole Bible being printed on 49 lines! Or am I not understanding "49-zeilige" correctly?

2387:

The street car article is currently under review, so it doesn't seem like such a good idea to work on a translation right now. Besides, there's quite a bit of text in the existing article which would have to be integrated into a new translation.

1017:. This is unnecessary and inflammatory; it is also prohibited on Knowledge. Even if another editor is behaving inappropriately you are required to not make personal attacks. If you continue to do this, you will be blocked for disruption. Thanks, 1310:

I honestly can't see it on there, or see your edit for that page. Sorry, but can you tell em what to look for, different page? I searched on the pages I could see for the words European, Lear and RCS but nothing came up. Sorry to be a bother. -

1687:

Ha, thanks for catching my typo, I keep missing ones in places like that! Anyway, I uploaded one photo of the hemicycle but I haven't used it anywhere as the glass barrier is in the way. Do you think that is much of a problem in a thumbnail?

1478:

Wow, CoE is getting a lot better. Not quite GA, I think it needs a touch of formatting. I reckon we could sort that out, with the content they are bringing in we could get it up to GA. Only problem I can see though is the lack of citation. -

6190:

Hey. Just so you know, you did hit 3RR on the article already. It's good that you sought outside help, though, and I'll do what I can to help everyone get past this issue. Still, you should probably avoid further reversions on that page. —

926:

OK, but I'm not exactly sure why you're telling me. I'm not invloved in you dispute and have no intention of becoming involved in it. Just so you know, if you have difficulties with him, please don't post on my talk page about it. Head for

5426:

Excellent! But I'm sorry to have to say this... because this is English Knowledge, could you please move the new page to its English name and have its foreign name in brackets, rather than the other way around. Them's the rules (as they

1462:

Fantastic! Remind me to give them a hug if they carry on like this. It is great seeing new content like that appear, I was looking at that page the other day and thinking about how an article like that really needed a huge expansion. -

4193:

What do you think needs to be changed in the template code? Both the population number and the census year (the data that are changed when we start using the new census data) are given in each article, not in the template code itself.

2664:

The BBC show stopped after 100; the WDR show kept going for quite a while after that. Thus, the list includes quite a few more paintings than would be needed for an article purely about the BBC show. If I had the books (or had even

3643:

If another editor removes content you have added, the correct procedure is to assume they have a good reason for doing so, open a talk-page discussion to determine why the content was removed, and to get the input of other editors.

2916:
