Former Country Infobox
Hi. Thanks for your work on historical German states. Just one request: when you fill in infobox fields that contain commented instructions (eg. this edit), just remove the commented text as it is then no longer needed.

Also, if you have any ideas about how to better present and organise these historical states, please let me know: either by my talk page or WP:WPFC. Thanks. - 52 Pickup 13:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

West Germany
There is a whole article for Germany, this is specfically west germany, and should end at that time of uniting

I agree with the above unsigned comment! I made the change on the political timeline in order to maintain horizontal consistency within the article and among other articles. Essentially "West Germany" ceased to exist exactly when "East Germany" and its lands became subject to the common law of then "West Germany" thus making "West Germany" stop at 1990 and just simply "Germany" with Berlin becoming the Hauptstadt (Capital). Therefore I am going to revert back to my edit to maintain this Horizontal consistency. Thanks, MKLPTR (talk) 19:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)  As you have not submitted info contradicting my claim I will "Re-edit" to just stop the time at 1990 though the "BRD" continued but "West Germany" did not (and berlin became the "De Facto" Hauptstadt) because how can you have a "West" without an "East" no the Virginia/West Virginia issue does not count MKLPTR (talk) 09:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

New map North German Confederation
Dear 52 Pickup, in your new map for the North German Confederation, the south German states, that later became part of the German Empire are displayed in color, but Alsace-Lorraine, which became part of the German Empire as an imperial territory in 1871 too, is simply shown with the background color. This seems to me misleading. I would prefer to show it in a different color, to make it clearer, that it became part of that empire as well. Blinder Seher 20:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't colour that in at first because I wanted to differentiate the imperial territory from the German states themselves and I couldn't think of a suitable colour. I think I've got it sorted out now and will upload a new version. - 52 Pickup 06:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thx for fixing the Hesse article
Thank you for fixing the rest of Flamerunner's vandlism. I didn't notice that he also blanked the "Rulers of Hesse" section in the Hesse article and therefore couldn't fix it.

Again, thank you.

Birth category
Hi: I noticed you had changed the birth category back on Klaus Stortebeker. I would like to direct your attention to the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:People_by_year which says that for both known and approximate dates you are supposed to use the exact year; it does not specifically mention ca. dates and I had asked about it on the talk page but received no response; so this is just my way of explaining my rationale; it seems that it should be spelled out more clearly. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your time --FeanorStar7 23:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:States of the German Confederation
Aaah, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification :o) — OwenBlacker 19:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Germany - request for input
Hi there. For a while I've been working on a complete overhaul and expansion of Flag of Germany. Given your work on German states of the 19th century, I'd really appreciate your input in the relevant sections. Primarily, I have created separate sections for the German Confederation and the 1848-1850 period in an attempt to make the flag situation there clear enough to put an end to the occasional addition of the wrong flag in the Confederation entry. Thanks. - 52 Pickup (talk) 21:06, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Blinder Seher. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Blinder Seher~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
