If you click on "Show Preview" before saving you will get a preview of what your page will look like. You can make changes and click again on SHOW PREVIEW, and you can still go on to other pages (e.g. by trying out your links) and go back to your "Preview" page. Then you can click SAVE when you're happy. It saves a lot of unnecessary versions! By the way: I spent several happy holidays in Goslar as a child. Used to go up in the hills with the cowherd who collected the cows from the smallholders around the Peterstrasse area. (This was in the 1950s). Hikitsurisan 13:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I reverted your replacement of all instances of "Braunschweig" with "Brunswick" in the Braunschweig article. Note that your doing so broke a number of links and images by changing them to non-existant names. If you think the historic English name rather than the German name should be used in the article, please discuss that in the article talk page and get consensus before doing so. See Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers for more tips on writing and editing here. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 23:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] goslar

Please get yourself a user id so we can talk to you properly.

If you intend to expand the history of Goslar article, please do so at History of Goslar or Goslar (history), otherwise just merge your snippet into the Goslar article. -- RHaworth 20:39, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Val Lumnezia

Thank you for your work on the article. Just a few minor points: for "mayor" Carduff, would you provide a reference and the local name of the role? Where did you get the translation "municipality" for "circolo" or "Kreis" from? The infobox for Swiss municipalities isn't used for those. -- User:Docu

Check out the wikipedia entry for municipality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipality "clearly defined territory and its population and commonly referring to a city, town, or village, or a small grouping of them." Mind you, threethousand and something inhabitants is a small grouping, I would have guessed. Since rural Grisons is composed of small villages, the Kreis is the grouping of those small villages into a municipality, which does things such as landownership registry, policing, planing permissions etc. This is done by the Kreisamt/municipal offices in Vella. So the twohundred and something inhabitants of the villages do not have any power in this regard. So the Kreis or municipality i.e. district council according to Grisons law the Kreis http://www.gr.ch/Deutsch/seiten.cfm?idnav1=3&idnav2=20&idnav3=20&seite=/Deutsch/Publikationen_&_Archive/Abstimmungen_Wahlen/kreiswahlen.cfm, whereas the Parish (civil) councils have no leverage in this regard.

So there is a thorough error in your political divisions of Grisons. The districts should feature, the municiplaities (Kreise), but the villages, errm Hamlets, have a very subordinate role, mind you.

I can furnish you with the cell phone numbers of the admininstrative staff at Ve(i)lla municipla offices, they might correct you. As a Swiss would say: "We can not list every milk churn". So as the administrative entites, the Kreise, which adopt the role of a municipality should be listed. And there is also Cons, the last hamlet in the Val Lumnezia, how would you characterise this entity? Sorry, we have to be precise here and translate Kreis to municipality, as the Kreis has all the features of a Western European municipality. We cannot convert a midge into an elephant. Cheers mate.

The scope of municipalities varies from one canton to the other, but "Gemeinden" are generally seen as the municipality level equivalent, e.g. in the English language version of the Graubünden der Film
As to Ca(r)duff, the reference you quoted lists "Derungs". -- User:Docu
