 * Given that it's vastly superior to its counterpart on the de: encyclopedia (which seems more concerned with Bruce Willis, for some reason I can't quite fathom) then my answer is a resounding yes. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 19:22, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Finlay. I've given Bruce a sentence.  Is there a reason to wait, or do we just push it up now? Jwrosenzweig 19:32, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I don't know what our copyright policy is in this regard. Bah, push it up now! -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:23, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Idar-Oberstein (known in some circles as "The Gemstone Capital")

No, it IS the official Gemstone Capital and the centre of Gemstone industry. In our encyclopedia Idar-Oberstein is named as The German Capital of Gemstone Industry ... so I would strike out known in some circles. But so far ... very good article! :-) Greetings from Germany Rkal Ger 16:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Search
I noticed that a search for Idar Oberstein (without the hyphen) was not successful in Wikipedia.

I added it as a local name, but didn't solve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Vandalism
„Additionally, it served as a farewell to the area's two main American socialites, Jason O. Waters, an American doughnut guru, and John C. Mooney, Waters' public relations director. Additionally, Kofan Stesovych, a former Ukrainian dictator was also living in Idar Oberstein for several years but then moved to Göttingen because he disagreed with Water's doughnut factory plans for the village of Hattgenstein.“
