Bulletin Board

 * There is a new template, IPA-de, for indicating German pronunciations. Please use it instead of IPA or IPA2 when showing the pronunciation of German words.

Notice Board

 * I added yet another Anti-Nazi parody of the Horst Wessel Lied and translated it here. I think it's a good translation but would feel more comfortable if other Wikipedians checked it.  I made further small modifications to the parody and my translation but updating the link every time is too much I feel. Proxima Centauri (talk) 10:38, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Translation resources

Requested articles

 * On the German Wikipedia: de:Deutsch-Schweizerische Internationale Schule of Hong Kong (English article: German Swiss International School)
 * Four articles linked from €2_commemorative_coins: Landungsbrücken, Ludwigskirche, Bremen City Hall, Hanover City Hall
 * See the list of German politicians that need an article
 * Towns in Switzerland --  a ton of them have been added to the German wikipedia.  All show up on the missing encyclopedic articles list.
 * German locomotives and trainsets -- some articles have been created already, but additional manpower would be helpful.
 * Autobahns and Bundesstrassen - German site is very comprehensive
 * Germans of Mexico (currently a redirect to Demographics of Mexico)
 * Germans in Latin America (see talk page)
 * Red links from Communes of South Tyrol
 * Capital punishment in Germany - could be extracted from de:Todesstrafe
 * East German revolution (which one? The Uprising of 1953 in East Germany or the fall of the Berlin Wall? - see talk page)
 * Swiss Americans or History of Swiss immigration to the United States or the like
 * Hinduism in Germany
 * Census in Germany based on German version of the census article.
 * Would someone who can translate German better than I can kindly translate/transwiki to the English wikipedia: Johann Wolfgang Jaeger and Jeremias Friedrich Reuss. Both men are significant intellectuals in 1600s/1700s Germany and have an academic genealogical influence on such major academics as Hegel.  Thanks for your help!  --24.112.187.219 (talk) 20:16, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Deutscher Pfadfinderbund (1911–1933) - could be extracted from de:Deutscher Pfadfinderbund (1911–1933)
 * A German speaker is needed at the article for Stiftskeller St. Peter, claimed to be oldest restaurant in Europe, dating at least to 803 AD, the time of Charlemagne and Alcuin, according to a claim on the restaurant website. I imported a citation from the same topic's German WP article that links to a Google Book citation (in German) that might (?) provide a reliable source. But I don't read German. Please, someone who speaks German should give this some attention and fix or strengthen as needed. Thanks -- Presearch (talk) 18:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done - ref #1 and #2 are only borderline reliable (ref 1 has a clear self-interest and "believes", ref #2 is a fun fact listing with little evidence of professional research). The only ref "saving" this from being a mere tourist guide entry is ref #3. GermanJoe (talk) 04:04, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Terminology check requested
 * Leipheim. Made an attempt to translate from the German article, but it would be good if someone with a profound knowledge of history terms could check it over.

Need help with English articles
 * Siemens VAI has an article in German Wikipedia but not English Wikipedia. Since I don't read German, I wanted to see if there was a connection with Voestalpine, and it's not obvious from the sources I have found, given the many companies called Voestalpine, whether they are all part of one company. I'm also not clear on whether these are owned by Siemens AG, and the exact connection with Siemens VAI. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:35, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
