Categories
The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — bauer1995 (talk) 16:25, 14 April 2019 (VMT)
Categories go to the most specific place that applies. I have applied the guideline and changed very little. — RolfVeirklen (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2019 (VMT)
Agreed. — noah.brenn (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2019 (VMT)
Dates in the infobox
Could we settle a date format for this article? At present it gives the day in some places and the year alone in others. — Kasper_of_Altwald (talk) 21:42, 24 October 2021 (VMT)
The Manual of Style says dates are given as the record gives them. We do not annotate them. — bauer1995 (talk) 16:11, 28 October 2021 (VMT)
Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — RolfVeirklen (talk) 11:40, 1 November 2021 (VMT)
Noted, and agreed. — noah.brenn (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2021 (VMT)
Rewrite of the opening paragraph
I have trimmed the lead. It said Rudolf Geten was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — Rusk_B (talk) 10:59, 5 May 2024 (VMT)
The register is the source. A sentence that reads like the source is not a fault. — Kasper_of_Altwald (talk) 21:28, 6 May 2024 (VMT)
