A fact from Brick Gothic appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 9 January 2008.

[edit] Picture St Mary Greifswald

is on the German [Brick gothik] page, since the Greifswald Commons is not working I could need some help to get it over here. More text to this article will be provided in the near future. Help on the article and more pictures, especially from historians in brick gothic cities, are welcome. --Kresspahl 16:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Development of the articles on de:WP and en:WP

The German article de:Backsteingotik (start:13.2.2004) was not a big one, when I started Brick Gothic here on 26.8.2005. What has happened since then? The German article split into the article and an additional list called de:Liste bedeutender Bauten der Backsteingotik (in English: List of important brick gothic buildings). I let things go, look what happened. The Germans didn't do anything on the en:WP article/list but worked hard on their "special" list of buildings. The en:WP article develloped as a list but not with the necessary content and explanation.--Kresspahl 21:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

What is your worry? Germans making the international community look bad? Editors who contribute to German (or any other) Wikipedia are not required to work in English Wikipedia, too. Besides, Germans are attacked on English Wikipedia, like people with insecurities like you, and there is no shortage on Wikipedia (84.181.112.22 is a German IP address), should lay off Wikipedia. -- Matthead discuß!     O       07:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, this is not a good architecture article. I notice that the medieval churches of Groningen and Friesland are missing, but I would not know where to start editing this unwieldy article. Probably this article would benefit from a chronological or developmental organization, rather than a geographic one based on modern national borders. One could start with the examples of roman mixed brick/stone churches. /Pieter Kuiper 09:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
@Pieter Kuiper: At first, I did not find anything like [1] here. This could be an article to start with. Then you should name brick gothic buildings in the low countries and include them into the article, at least the most important ten or so. Its a wiki!--Kresspahl 07:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mir Castle Complex.jpg

Image:Mir Castle Complex.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
