Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Just a few quick tips:
 * Our Tutorial explains how to edit; you can experiment in the test area.
 * We have help pages, and if they don't help (can happen :-), post a question at the Help Desk.
 * Remember that we strive to have unbiased articles.
 * Eventually, you might want to read our Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Use the "Preview" button below the edit box! It helps you catch layout, format, and spelling errors before saving.
 * To sign your messages (to talk pages, for instance&mdash;like I do below), add four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to your posts. The software will replace them by your signature and a time stamp when you save the page.

Anyway, have fun improving this encyclopedia! Lupo 13:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Maikäfer flieg
I've tried to clean up your addition a little bit. Note that it's not the German version of the Ladybird rhyme: that is, AFAIK, a rhyme and not a song, and refers to a completely different bug, whereas the German rhyme is typically sung to the melody of a German lullaby. Everything else you wrote is perfectly true, I know, but it'd be better if we had reliable external sources confirming it. The best source for the origin in the 30-years' war I've found is the German Wikipedia's entry for Maikäfer flieg. Do you have another one? And I've not been able to find a clear source for the WWII bit, although it's obviously true and there are several books about the end of WWII using either "Maikäfer flieg" or "Pommerland ist abgebrannt" in the title. Do you have a clear source that we could use to source this bit? Lupo 13:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
