[edit] Template:Infobox German Location

Please introduce the Infobox German Location with image. It provides a coherent look among German cities. Lear 21 23:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improvement needed to the wording

Some of the language in the History section is a bit cumbersome and could use a bit of a rewrite, eg: "One day before ...", "duchy Jülich". Perhaps it has been translated from a German or French text.

Also, should Homo erectus have both words capitalised, just the first word capitalised or neither word capitalised? Just nit-picking, I know, but it is an encyclopedia so it should be both correct and consistant. Pedrocelli 01:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Standard practice for scientific Binomial Momenclature is that the Genus name (here 'Homo') has an initial Capital, but the Specific name ('erectus') does not: the existing capitalisation therefore correct. Arguably, however, the binomial would be more correctly rendered in italics. 40.0.96.1 12:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
