I apologise for uploading too often. I prepared the text, used the show function, did my corrections, loaded, but then found again and again mistakes. I will improve that.

1) I added the New Synagogue, because it is one of the architectural landmarks destroyed in the Battle of Berlin and a well known one, at least much better known than the fascist-style buildings of the Japanese and Italian embassies, who in fact survived the war in much better shape than the Memorial church and the Synagogue.

2) I wonder why you added, the New Synagogue was used by the Wehrmacht. I don't think that that was known to the RAF bomber command. Like this you insinuate the New Synagogue was hit on porpuse.

I simply think, i'd say I know, the way of doing air raids in the WW II was much less target-safe than we assume by our today experience. This is, what the list including the Memorial Church, the Zoo, the Synagogue tells us. Otherwise the bomber squad would have propably spared the British embassy, even though it was closed due to the fact that Germany and Britain were at war. Who knows if the British embassy was only sealed or even illegally used for some other purpose. What ever it was, probably unknown to the RAF, its destruction shows the lack of target-safety.

3) I changed the typical German passive-structered sentence "were killed, injured and made homeless" into a English-suited active sentence "the Battle of Berlin killed, injured etc." Why? Because this way of saying it names who was riding, and who ridden, meaning who or what was active, and who or what passive. The typical German-style passive veils that, as if people rather died, than that the air raids killed them.

I trust that you find the rewording and change in scope and change placement in the introduction in keeping with the thought you were trying to convey. My first reaction had been to undo your edit since it didn't appear to be related to the article, but then I realized the point you were trying to get across. —PētersV (talk) 01:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree to change as to its scope. To my taste you made a new strong extra statements. My main point was: The Free City of Danzig was not restored in the war's aftermath like the 3 other Baltic states. But a restoration is even out of discussion because of the almost total expulsion and killing of the original citizens. I posted this in Occupation of Baltic States page because this could have happened to the Baltic states as well, with the deportations, killings and settlements by Soviet citizens during the occupation. Especially Estonia and Latvia were on the way to be majorised by anti-indipendentists. You got me right in that.

My second point was: By my formulation I didn't argue ethno-specific as to who wants independence, but as to who was extinguished for there mere reason of being Baltic. My formulation allowed that all inhabitants of the Baltic Soviet Republics, who fought for their independence are equally honoured, regardless of cultural or language background. I can imagine that only few inhabitants of the Baltic states with non-Baltic heritage background wished and fought for Baltic independence. But there were some for sure, maybe I am even wrong and there were many. I simply don't know.

Your formulation insinuates that it would be a matter of culture and language to wish independence. I think it is a matter of mere opinion regardless of one's own language and culture. I may well be an ethnic and culturally proud Russian and be pro Baltic independence because that is healing a historic wrong or because I am more confident in a democratic and prosperous development under the Baltic roof than under the Russian or, or, or …

Best wishes Ulf HeinsohnUlf Heinsohn (talk) 03:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No insinuation meant. As I've stated elsewhere it's what a person does that makes them a good Baltic citizen, not their ethnicity. On the other hand, to the point about Danzig and Königsberg, once completely Russified or Polonified, there was little impetus to return to their pre-war state as the predominant ethnolinguistic and cultural identities were those of the "replacements." In the case of the Baltics, preservation of culture was preservation of the state.

   National aspirations take their power from ethno-linguistic and cultural identity. We see it in today's conflicts. —PētersV (talk) 03:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, it's gone in any event; in truth, it was a commentary. If you can find a scholarly source that makes the comparison and reference it, the it would no longer be commentary but a scholarly comparison. —PētersV (talk) 14:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have just rewritten your recent addition to Cathedral, which was hopelessly entangled with Scotland. It's easier to make two sentences that add qualifiers and hope the reader can make sense of it! Would you please read what I have done, to see if I have in fact captured the sense of your intentions.

Also, the article is specifically about functional cathedrals. While the mention of the three Berlin Doms is appropriate to the explanation, I must ask you about Ulm Minster. This sentence is not about churches which are sometimes called "cathedral" mistakenly. It is specifically about functioning cathedrals that are known as "minster", rather than "cathedral". As far as I know, Ulm doesn't function as a cathedral. Can you put me right about this? If it doesn't function as a cathedral, then it is in the same class as Beverley Minster and a few others in England which are cathedral-sized abbey buildings, but not cathedrals, and not within the scope of the article. If it does function as a cathedral, then please put it back. Amandajm (talk) 22:50, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the textual improvement, I like much better this way.

About Ulm. You are right, Ulm's minster has never been the seat of a bishop. I was seduced to add it because there is Berne, and the minster of Berne has never been the seat of bishop too, neither is it now. I will replace Berne and put Essen and Freiburg, which are both minsters now serving as cathedrals.

I hope I did not offend you, not answering you. I was not too much into the Estridsen dynasty background, I hope somebody familiar with it will take over. I am more specialised in subjects of the Prince-Bishopric of Bremen, thus I happened to have to deal with a member of that dynasty who ascended the Bremian see. In Polish and German there are complete articles about the House of Estridsen de:Haus Estridsson and pl:Estrydsenidzi, which is too much for me to translate them - not even speaking any Polish -, neither I am an expert in it, who read printed sources about the dynasty. I only introduced the category, thinking that would evoke the editing by some expert. I agree to the categorisation under Danish monarchs. Maybe the House of Oldenburg also deserves to be subcategorised or mentioned under the Category Danish Monarchs. Best regards, Ulf Heinsohn (talk) 10:22, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, Ulf Heinsohn, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification. Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even ((welcome)) them if they have only been templated with deletion messages. The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion. Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting ((ARS/Tagged)). A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.

The wikitext of Immanuel Church (Tel Aviv-Yafo) is far too long but this is mainly due to ridiculous repetition of references. Please study this edit (ignore the destroyed Hebrew). Where a ref is identical we use <ref name="foo">text</ref> the first time and <ref name="foo" /> for subsequent uses. I do not recommend the use of "ibid" because subsequent edits by others such as simple re-ordering of sentences can cause utter confusion. But my "Eisler113" and "Eisler115" refs should give an hint of one approach. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! I noticed you included Agnes of Habsburg as a Duchess of Saxe-Lauenburg when she was the Duchess of Saxe-Wittenberg. You can't included Regent consorts or hereditary princesses that will throw everthing off. ie. Augustus, Elector of Saxony was the regent of his nephew Frederick William I, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, yet his wife Anne of Denmark wasn't a Duchess of Saxe-Weimar; the same Frederick William I was the regent Christian II, Elector of Saxony yet his wife Anna Marie of the Palatinate-Neuburg was never Electress of Saxony. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 22:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

But the question I have to ask you is was Albert III of Saxe-Wittenberg, Duke of Lüneburg actually a ruling Duke of Saxe-Wittenberg alongside his uncle because Albert's father Otto was older than Wenceslas I and that would make Albert the heir of his uncle Rudolf II not Wenceslas. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 08:53, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ulf, while you are correct that convent is an accurate term, are you aware that you are not using it in the correct technical sense for the medieval community. While the community itself is called a "conventus", which, by the way, is also used for communities of monks, the institution itself was an abbey, and should be called such, until speaking of the time of its conversion to a Stift. In that sense, use of the term convent prior to that event is historically inaccurate. Daniel the Monk (talk) 00:03, 21 June 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Hi Daniel,
  before I wrote the entry I thought about the name and looked in my Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English, which says under the entry «convent»: (1) society of women (called nuns) living apart from others in the service of God. … (2) building(s) in which nuns live and work …
  So my thoughts were the following:
  (1) It needs one name, since the institution functioned from its start until its end without major change, nor technical, nor personal, as a place of worship and contemplation for noble unmarried women of certain families (the order of services was not majorly changed by the Reformation, chasubles etc. remained in use); as a feudal lord to its socage farmers etc.; as a territorial entity ranking as an estate with a vote in the diets of the prince-archbishopric; I wanted to give it one naming fitting for all its existence. The fact that the religion was first Roman Catholic, and than Lutheran had never been a major issue (except during the subjection and occupation of the prince-archbishopric, when the convent was dissolved), since the religion would of course be the same which was the dominant faith among the families funding the institution, donating to it, protecting it militarily and whose female relatives entered it. It is unlikely that the institution had ever formed part of the Cistercian Order the integration into supraregional entities was loose or even absent, but it had strong regional (prince-archiepiscopal) ties.
  (2) Convent fits to be the term for the one name. The term convent (a) takes up the Latin naming, used in seals and most of the documents, (b) according to the Oxford Dictionary it describes a monastery of nuns and its buildings (this is why I chose it, and how I used it, for buildings and the institution) and (c) the term fits even a Lutheran stift.
  (3) the term Himmelpforten Convent avoids a double naming with the former Himmelpforten Abbey of monks under a chairman called abbot, located near Hasserode in the Harz Mountains. The term Himmelpforten Abbey as head line for this entry at issue would gloss over the fact, besides its double meaning of a church building and the institution as a whole, that this Porta Coeli rather used to be a priory (like Preetz Priory, because of its small size (small number of members), with the term prioress prevailing over the term abbess in smaller societies of women in service for God.

hi, The second building Before the first building? Berlin Cathedral 1451 (first building), ca. 1345 (2nd bldg) Kasir ^talk 16:49, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hallo Kasir,
yes, as described in the wiki entry, the church was first founded as palace chapel and got its first location within the Berlin Palace, however, later, this church was elevated to a collegiate church and thus the small palace chapel was considered unfit, so the collegiate church moved into the older, but bigger building of the St. Paul Church, previously built and owned by the Dominican friars, who again were moved to Brandenburg upon Havel. The naming of the collegiate church was transferred to the former St. Paul's and the college canons took possession of that building, so that the old friary and its name St. Paul's disappeared, while the younger establishment moved from its original location into its second, but older than its first location. Much later again, its next move brought the collegiate church into its next, but then newly erected, third location and later to its present fourth location and then again newly erected building. Confusing but true. Best wishes Ulf Heinsohn (talk) 00:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Heinrich Grüber, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like ((WikiProject Keyword)) to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:13, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Ulf, thanks for the improvement of the Holy Cross Church, Lehre article. We'll keep your change, but I just wanted to note that Brunswick and Braunschweig are one and the same, whether talking about the city or region. Brunswick is the English pronunciation and spelling of Braunschweig. Thanks again. Ks03 (talk) 22:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Max Samuel, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:12, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is no such thing as "too long DYK" (a hook can be too long, but the article has no limits). Re his ethnicity, good points, but I suggest keeping such discussion on article's talk for future reference. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, administrator here. You are marking almost all of your edits as "minor", but almost all of them are not minor. That's not allowed. The definition of a minor edit is at Help:Minor edit and you will see that is more like the common notion of "trivial". Please let me know if you have been doing it consciously or it has been appearing as the default for you. (If it's the latter I need to get it fixed.) In any case, please stop doing that.
