German Army Aviators Corps
Hi,

I noticed you recently contributed the article about the German Army Aviators Corps. I just wanted to inform you that you can post any Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New articles and Portal:Germany/New article announcements. I have gone ahead and posted the article on both pages.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 22:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Germany
Hi Ekki01,

User:Badbilltucker has proposed creating a WikiProject for articles related to Germany. Since you seem to speak German pretty well and to contribute to Germany-related articles, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping with this project. If you want to know more about the proposal you can check the temporary project page or the List of proposed projects. Grüße--CarabinieriTTaallkk 10:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

reply about msg in re: Agri Decumates
Hi Ekki:

I've never seen it spelled any other way than "Agri Decumates." This includes sources from Gibbon to Michael Grant (as I'm sure you know, he's the world's leading Classicist, especially on the subject of Classical numismatics).

This is the first article I've ever contributed to wikipedia on my own. I've edited and expanding a number of other articles, but this is my "maiden" voyage, so to speak.

If you've come across newer research than I have available to me--my sources say little is known about this very small province except for fragmentary references, esp in Tacitus; it's strategic value for the protection of Gaul, or even from an end run around the Illyrian defenses into Italy, said defenses being the most formidable of the Western Empire--then, of course, it should be added.

Or if you feel that I have not adequately covered what little material is available, then I look forward to working with you to improve it.

While I am happy to have finally contributed my first full article to the project, I don't feel proprietary about it. (OK, I feel a little proprietary about it, ;o)

The goal should always be to provide the most comprehensive and complete information on all subjects.

Finally, since this is my first article, I don't know how the process of merging generally works. More information on how it's generally done would be greatly appreciated. (Pls excuse my typing; I am somewhat dyslexic and don't always catch every error.)

reply 2: Agri Decumates
Ekki:

The spelling, or, rather, the capitalization is not a really big deal for me. Since you're familiar with this province, you're obviously quite familiar with Roman history; thus you know that there are a lot of spelling variations for various ancient names.

Embarassing as this, I'm not sure where your article is! I'll look for it again, but if you paste a link in your reply to me that would be excellent.

I don't have any problem with merging the articles. I admit I'd prefer to have it be "my baby" but I know that's not how wikipedia works. And I really wouldn't want people to be able to "own" articles (i.e. lock them down or something). wikipedia's got a lot of flaws, but the ability for users to improve, correct articles or rewrite badly written ones (as I've done) is one of it's best features.

You've only been at this for two months?! I'm really surprised. Your personal page (I'm not sure what wikipedia calls them) is very, very detailed. I expected you to be a vet, someone who'd been doing it for years. I go back to May of '05 but that's kind of misleading since I haven't been constantly active for all that time. There are big gaps when other things in my life were taking up my time.

I'm glad to find another scholar with a deep interest in Rome. I hope that, in the future, we can possibly collaborate on other articles. There are probably a lot of articles we could write about various Roman subjects that haven't been covered.

If this idea appeals to you, we should probably exchange email addresses. Or you can put one of yours on my discussion page.

The "marquee" subjects all have articles (e.g. the army, Caesar, Augustus, etc). But even tho' history knows so little about Rome, it's still a vast field with a large amount of interesting subjects--so much was lost during the Middle Ages and during the sack of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, to digress: I find it fascinating the doors from Hagia Sophia (I believe) still adorn St. Mark's in Venice all these centuries later).

In summation, as the lawyers say, I reiterate, I'm glad to find another Rome enthusiast and I hope we can work together to put up more articles on both Republican and Imperial Rome. PainMan 03:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Draft of Agri Decumates
Agri Decumates is a region of the Roman Empire, covering the Black Forest area between the Main river and the sources of Danube and Rhine rivers, presently in southwestern Germany. It was part of both the province of Raetia and the province of Germania Superior.

The only ancient reference to the name comes from Roman historian Tacitus who in his book Germania used the term Agri Decumates or decumates agri (Latin for Tenth Land) to denote the area beyond (that is, either to the east or to the north) of the rivers Rhine and Danube. The origin and meaning of the name is disputed. It may either refer to an unknown place-name Decuma or Decumum or to the fact that the region was obliged to pay tribute to the emperor by handing over a tenth of its produce. Another possibility is that, prior to Roman occupation, the area was inhabited by a tribe which divided the area into 10 cantons. According tp Michael Grant, the name refers to an ancient Celtic term, the precise meaning of which has been lost.

According to Tacitus, the region had originally been populated by the Celtic tribe of the Helvetii but soon Germanic Suebi settled there before migrating, around 9 BCE to Boiohaemum, modern day Bohemia. After the latter's departure, the area was again inhabited by Gauls. Later on, the region was to become part of the Roman Empire.


 * Non numeraverim inter Germaniae populos, quamquam trans Rhenum Danuviumque consederint, eos qui decumates agros exercent: levissimus quisque Gallorum et inopia audax dubiae possessionis solum occupavere; mox limite acto promotisque praesidiis sinus imperii et pars provinciae habentur.


 * "Even though they live beyond the river Rhine and the river Danube, I would not count the inhabitants of the Tenth Land among the peoples of Germania. Careless Gauls, having become brave due to necessity, occupied the land without having any legitimate claim. Since soon afterwards a border-wall was built and fortresses were erected, it is considered to be a bulge of the Empire and part of the province."

The military occupation during the reign of Emperor Vespasian (69-79 CE) laid the foundations for Roman settlement and colonization in the region. Under Emperor Domitian, a network of roads was built covering the whole of the territory. The system of roads enabled the autorities to control and safeguard the area, easing communications between the legions stationed on the river Danube and the Rhine by shortening the Roman defenses in the area: frontier fortifications were constructed between modern Reinbohl and Pförring.

The major places of Roman settlement were Sumolecenna, Civitas Aurelia Aquensis, Lopodunum und Arae Flaviae.

The region flourished during the next two centuries in spite of periods of unrest: around 185/186, a revolt against Roman authority took place, mainly directed against the presence of the Roman military in Argentorate.

The first devastating incursion of the Alamanni occurred in 233. After 259, they began to occupy the region.

The Romans controlled the province until the latter half of the 3rd century, when it was evacuated by the emperor Gallienus (259-260) in the face of invading Germans of the Alamanni tribe and the secession of much of the Western Empire under the regional emperor Postumus.

The area may have been briefly reoccupied under the Emperor Aurelian (270-275), during the Roman military resurgence of the late 3rd century CE. Even if this did occur, the re-establishment of Roman rule was brief. After the death of Emperor Probus (282), the area was finally given up and left to the Alamanni. The territory has remained inhabited by people of Germanic descent continuously to this day.

However, Roman settlements were not immediately abandoned. There is evidence of continuity of Roman life well into the 5th century.

 * Merci. Ich spiele schon eine Weile mit dem Gedanken für dieses Flugplätzle einen Artikel auf en-wikipedia zu schreiben, nämlich seit ich mir Willibolds "Der Luftkrieg zwischen Doanu und Bodensee" gekauft habe. Momentan hat das RL leider Vorrang. Ich wüsste sogar einen guten PLatz, von wo man eine schöne Aufnahme des ehemaligen Flugplatzes machen könnte. Am besten wäre dies allerdings im Frühjahr. Vielleicht komme ich nächstes Jahr mal wieder in die Gegend. Aber es wird schon werden. Gruß, Ekki01 (talk) 16:08, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Oscar Ameringer
Hi, So I have been reviewing sources and have found a bit of a grey area on the birthplace of Oscar Ameringer. The American Labor Who's Who lists his birthplace as Achstetten, The Encyclopedia of the American Left lists it simply as Bavaria, The Biographical Dictionary of the American Left lists his birthplace as Laupheim, and his autobiography seems to claim that he was born on the road to Achstetten, but not necessarily in Achstteten, and moved to Laupheim as at six. I think with that in mind, Achstetten is probably the most likely place of birth and I wouldn't be upset at all if he was deleted from the Laupheim page, but you understand my confusion right?

169.232.212.19 (talk) 17:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Camrowland91 (talk)


 * Yes, I completely understand your confusion. I am puzzled as well. However, the Bavarian reference we can discount completely. That's plainly wrong. There is no Achstetten in Bavaria or was in 1870. The road to Achstetten reference, I find quite intriguing. Having some familiarity with the history and historical layout of both Laupheim and Achstetten, at the time the road to Achstetten was in the town of Laupheim itself, part of the old imperial road leading from Ulm to what is now Friedrichshafen via Biberach and Ravensburg.  This is now called Ulmer Straße (Ulm Road). There is a chapel on this road at what used to be the end of the built-up area. From there another road branches off towards the centre of Laupheim. This was a partly built-up area with predominantly Jewish residents. Between the chapel and the actual village of Achstetten there were, to my knowledge, no dwelling places.  Also, having found this  (p. 3), the man himself says that he was born in Achstetten, and later on indeed reports that his family moved to Laupheim when he was six.
 * If you don't mind I will move Oskar (or Oscar) fom Laupheim to Achstetten.--Ekki01 (talk) 18:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I think that's probably best. Also, I am currently writing a basic entry for Ameringer for a history class right now and will be creating a page for him in the next couple of days. I would love to have your help in finding sources (I have a few books and two encyclopedias), especially online, and feedback on my article. Thanks. Camrowland91 (talk) 18:55, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I've moved the entry to Achstetten.
 * Concerning sources, if you're close to a university library (which I am not) they may have some material on Ameringer; your local library may even have a copy of his autobiography or can get hold of one. I've had a brief look on the internet for German references but there aren't any usueful ones. This is rather not surprising since Ameringer is virtually unknown in Germany and certainly no one has heard of him in Achstetten or Laupheim.--Ekki01 (talk) 19:14, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Updates to the BV page in German
Hi Ekki01, I saw you're one of the few proficient editors of German and English, and I'm reaching out because of your expertise in both languages. The German Bottega Veneta page is out of date compared to the English one, and I'm trying to ensure that there’s the same depth of information available on the German Wiki as there is for English. I’ve been working with BV on improving and expanding their English article, and I'm looking for community members to help update the German article with some changes proposed in this SandboxDE. Would you mind taking a look to see if the translation is accurate and suitable for integrating into German Wikipedia? Chefmikesf (talk) 23:05, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Unimog 70200
Hello Ekki01,

I've seen that you've updated the Unimog 70200's assessment, but I wonder why you'd "only" rate it a start-class article. I reckon it meets the C-class criteria. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 20:47, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it is a nice article and bordering on C-status. My main reasons for assigning it start-status was that, in my opinion, more sources of different origin could be provided and that the technical description could be enhanced. If you compare it to the article about Unimog 406, which to me indeed merits C-class, you may know what I mean. If you do not agree, by all means, feel free to alter my assessment. BTW, I do like your Unimog articles. Lovely machines but a pain in the behind when in front of you on a narrow road. :-)  Ekki01 (talk) 21:01, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

and I was One of the reasons for


 * Hello Ekki01, you were one of the reasons for ...? Well, for C-class, an article requires either "reasonable topic coverage" or "suitable references". I agree that the technical description section is somewhat sparse, but one could count it as "sufficient". On the other hand, the references are not too bad, at least not in my opinion: Proper books, (three books in total), not some weird online-sources with questionable reliability. Don't you think? Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:40, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
