Talk:Austrian National Library

Expanded
Noted as part of WikiProject Vienna, the article on "Austrian National Library" was greatly expanded in the 14-November-2006 revisions, with new Description & History sections (adding 12 subheaders), translated from the German Wikipedia. Because the Hofburg topic spans over 500 years (since 1438?), with wars or remodelling or renaming of buildings, the details have been somewhat confusing to organize and expand. I have been focused recently on the museums, Naturhistorisches Museum (NHMW) and Kunsthistorisches Museum (which took 38 years to reorganize and evolve from the museum-Cabinet departments), but more could be added to the general topic of the "Hofburg Imperial Palace" to have at least a paragraph for each building in the complex, until separate articles can be expanded for each building/subtopic. -Wikid77 00:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

REDIRECTing
I have redirected many individual Hofburg building names to display the article "Hofburg Imperial Palace" until there is a separate article for each building/subtopic. Using bold font to indicate words explained by the article Hofburg Imperial Palace, I added a bullet-list of buildings so that the bold-terms would appear to the left end of each line, as shown below.


 * "The Hofburg has been expanded over the centuries to include:
 * various residences (with the Amalienburg);
 * chapels (Hofkapelle, Hofmusikkapelle, Burgkapelle);
 * museums (the Naturhistorisches Museum & Kunsthistorisches Museum);
 * the Imperial Library (Hofbibliothek now the Prunksaal);
 * the treasury (Schatzkammer);
 * the national theater (Burgtheater);
 * the riding school (Hofreitschule); and,
 * the horse stables (the Stallburg and Hofstallungen). "

Each term in bold-face has a Wikipedia article with a REDIRECT to the Hofburg article, for now. Even though the Hofburg is over 500 years old, the topic has been slow to expand in the English Wikipedia, but with those buildings centuries old, there is obviously much information that can be added to handle each building as a separate, notable Wikipedia article in the future. For instance, in the Hofkapelle (chapel), the Vienna Boys Choir sings Mozart chorales a cappella, and the chapel acoustics and Mozart's influence could be described in an article dedicated to the Hofkapelle. I believe that over 20 notable articles could be created, replacing the REDIRECTs with full articles, in the future. -Wikid77 13:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


 * 14-November-2006: I have expanded the history of the Hofbibliothek (now the Prunksaal) into the existing article "Österreichische Nationalbibliothek" and re-REDIRECTed both Hofbibliothek and Prunksaal to the expanded article, giving more specific information for both terms. -Wikid77 08:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia's Naming_conventions, the title of this page should be 'Austrian National Library' and the REDIRECT from that English name swapped with the current original German name. I'm not contributing for long enough to be sure how to do it (despite having read the relevant help page) nor whether all other REDIRECTs or articles described above would then themselves need editing.
