The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — TheoRusk (talk) 21:40, 9 December 2023 (VMT)

The guideline says the most specific category that applies. I have applied it. — meinnberg1988 (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2023 (VMT)

@meinnberg1988 Understood. I have left it as it was. — Rusk_E (talk) 11:38, 17 December 2023 (VMT)

Thanks, all. — lea.wolter (talk) 22:07, 21 December 2023 (VMT)

Image in the infobox

The infobox has more rows than the article has sentences. Could we trim it? — Katja_L. (talk) 10:57, 27 January 2024 (VMT)

The registered version, always, wherever there is a register. A building is not a source. — TheoRusk (talk) 21:26, 28 January 2024 (VMT)

Fair. I withdraw the suggestion. — meinnberg1988 (talk) 16:55, 29 January 2024 (VMT)

The definite article

Latest comment: 16:41, 22 March 2024 (VMT) by meinnberg1988 · open

Should the title be “Ministry of Education” without the article? The Manual of Style drops “The” from titles unless it is part of the name. — lea.wendl (talk) 15:14, 16 March 2024 (VMT)

Oppose. See the register, the Herald and the signs. — Katja_L. (talk) 10:43, 18 March 2024 (VMT)

Oppose. We follow the sources. — TheoRusk (talk) 21:12, 20 March 2024 (VMT)

Closing: not moved, per the sources. — meinnberg1988 (talk) 16:41, 22 March 2024 (VMT)

Dates

Could we settle a date format for this article? At present it gives the day in some places and the year alone in others. — Gisela_of_Oberholt (talk) 20:31, 4 May 2024 (VMT)

The date is the date. There is nothing to annotate. — lea.wendl (talk) 15:00, 7 May 2024 (VMT)

Fine. For the avoidance of doubt, nobody is proposing to change the date. — Katja_L. (talk) 10:29, 10 May 2024 (VMT)
