Is "borough" a better term than "district"? The Berlin article uses the latter. Sandman 08:43, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)


That question was once asked by Cordyph in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject German districts, calling the parts of a city "district" would make them mix with the Kreis or Landkreis which we translate as district already. However there was just his question, no further discussion yet. According to [1] bourough would translate into Stadtbezirk, so it should be the better word to use. andy 12:35, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Pop Culture

Would it be silly to add a Trivia section and mention the band Spandau Ballet? --Spesek 15:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renana

Is there another more common name for this weapon? Renana is most often used as a first name per google, I did not find any weapons in the first two pages of my google search. Galeso 22:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spandau Ballet

I am going to remove the line saying the Spandau ballet is performed every christmas.

My reasons are:

  • A one liner like this gives no information.
  • There is no evidence of any ballet unique to Spandau that is played every christmas or otherwise.
  • This is likely to be a reference to the pop band Spandau ballet.

By all means if more information is gathered about ballet at Spandau add a section with meaningful content.
