[edit] Hertha

Is this the stadium for Hertha?

[edit] Detailed, interesting article...but needs copyedit

I also made an attempt to clean up this article, but it still needs work, especially towards the end. Simon, 5 January 2006

This is obviously translated from German. It's a lengthy article, with many interesting facts and tidbits, however, the grammar needs to be re-worked for flow, as it is very laborious for English readers to get through. --Sirimiri 17:44, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I've given it a go. I hope I haven't introduced inaccuracies. Estrellador* 16:39, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! I haven't combed through it yet....what can I say? But I aim to get to it one of these days... Any little bit helps :) --Sirimiri 05:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I have time to go through the page, so i'm going to try to get it done over the next week or two --Vaud 17:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

It might help to get the german article this was translated from --Vaud 17:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

lol... wasnt translated at all, was all googling... I wrote it just having fun :) --Zzzzzzus 23:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)zzzzzzus

It's been very entertaining correcting the grammar from the Spanish-influenced original text--Adel Montevega

[edit] Meter -> Metre

I've converted remaining meters to metres, the article should be consistent and more were already res. It is a European site anyway. . . John (Jwy) 02:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] huh???

Can this be true?

 . After the war, the United Kingdom military occupation used it as its headquarters until 1994.

1994??? Maybe 1954? 75.80.24.43 21:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No, 1994 makes sense. West Berlin was occupied by the UK, US and France until 1994. - 52 Pickup 14:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the British HQ was based not in the Olympic Stadium, but next door in the Sportforum. See here: http://www.alliierteinberlin.de/Grossbritannien_e.html 198.43.100.41 02:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olympia (film) / Leni Riefenstahl?

Shouldn't there be some mention of the history of this stadium, being that Leni Riefenstahl made her movie "Olympia" her (be it in the old stadium)? Greetngs, RagingR2 11:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Olympiastadionlogo2.jpg

Image:Olympiastadionlogo2.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
