Infobox image
The mark in the infobox is the version of the ministry's logo held by the register. The one on the building is different. Which should we use? — Marie_of_Oberbach (talk) 15:10, 13 February 2019 (VMT)
I would leave the infobox as it is. Everything in it is cited. — Klaus_H. (talk) 10:39, 15 February 2019 (VMT)
@Klaus_H. Agreed. I have added a caption and changed nothing else. — IdaZiegel (talk) 21:08, 17 February 2019 (VMT)
Fine by me. — andreas.bauer (talk) 16:37, 19 February 2019 (VMT)
The definite article
Requested move: The Ministry of Finance → Ministry of Finance. The article is not part of the name. — Marsch_T (talk) 20:27, 30 October 2019 (VMT)
Oppose. See the register, the Herald and the signs. — Marie_of_Oberbach (talk) 15:56, 2 November 2019 (VMT)
Which date?
Could we settle a date format for this article? At present it gives the day in some places and the year alone in others. — reller1969 (talk) 09:44, 15 July 2020 (VMT)
I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — Marsch_T (talk) 20:13, 19 July 2020 (VMT)
Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — Marie_of_Oberbach (talk) 15:42, 23 July 2020 (VMT)
Category tidy-up
Is the Ministry of Finance best categorised by its seat at Vellmar, or by what it does? At present it is both, which is allowed. — Petra_of_Vellmar (talk) 14:01, 31 March 2021 (VMT)
Categories go to the most specific place that applies. I have applied the guideline and changed very little. — reller1969 (talk) 09:30, 1 April 2021 (VMT)
