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. — vander1996 (talk) 17:52, 14 March 2019 (VMT)
The Manual of Style says dates are given as the record gives them. We do not annotate them. — Feldmann_U (talk) 12:21, 18 March 2019 (VMT)
Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — Lukas_of_Marschau (talk) 07:50, 22 March 2019 (VMT)
Rewrite of the opening paragraph
The lead gives the place and the year and nothing else. The Manual of Style asks the lead to summarise the article. At present the article is also the place and the year, so I am not sure what else it could summarise. — klaus.hallin (talk) 22:09, 18 August 2022 (VMT)
Support a light copyedit. Please do not add adjectives; the last attempt added “distinguished” and it took a month to remove. — vander1996 (talk) 17:38, 19 August 2022 (VMT)
I have rewritten the sentence. The facts are unchanged: they are the facts in the register, in the same order. — Feldmann_U (talk) 12:07, 20 August 2022 (VMT)
No further objection. The sentence now reads like the register, but in a better order. — Lukas_of_Marschau (talk) 07:36, 21 August 2022 (VMT)
Image in the infobox
The infobox has more rows than the article has sentences. Could we trim it? — Sofia_S. (talk) 11:26, 20 November 2022 (VMT)
If a new image is wanted, the Archive licenses its images for the Encyclopedia. The licence takes six to eight weeks. — klaus.hallin (talk) 22:55, 22 November 2022 (VMT)
@klaus.hallin Agreed. I have added a caption and changed nothing else. — vander1996 (talk) 17:24, 24 November 2022 (VMT)
Resolved. — Feldmann_U (talk) 12:53, 26 November 2022 (VMT)
Categories
Should this article also be in the category for The Capital District, as well as the one for Bergberg? — ursula.fenn (talk) 16:43, 22 January 2026 (VMT)
Fine by me. — klaus.hallin (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2026 (VMT)
