Population in the infobox
The infobox gives the population at the census of 2026. Should we give an estimate for this year? — Peter_F. (talk) 10:55, 19 March 2019 (VMT)
No estimates. The census is the figure of record. — Lea_of_Kessel (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2019 (VMT)
@Lea_of_Kessel Thanks. — karin.schasser (talk) 16:53, 21 March 2019 (VMT)
Done. — Kriltdann_E (talk) 11:22, 22 March 2019 (VMT)
Dates in the infobox
The article says Bergberg was founded in 1471. The source is the register of places. Is a year enough, or should we give the day, if the council has one? — Noah_of_Kessel (talk) 15:12, 22 June 2021 (VMT)
I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — Peter_F. (talk) 10:41, 24 June 2021 (VMT)
Fine. For the avoidance of doubt, nobody is proposing to change the date. — Lea_of_Kessel (talk) 21:10, 26 June 2021 (VMT)
Categories
The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — MarieLenz (talk) 20:29, 22 October 2021 (VMT)
Categories go to the most specific place that applies. I have applied the guideline and changed very little. — Noah_of_Kessel (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2021 (VMT)
Done. — Lea_of_Kessel (talk) 21:56, 31 October 2021 (VMT)
The lead is too short
I have trimmed the lead. It said Bergberg was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — ABroloster79 (talk) 09:46, 26 January 2024 (VMT)
@ABroloster79 I think it is fine as it is. The Encyclopedia is not a newspaper. — MarieLenz (talk) 20:15, 30 January 2024 (VMT)
@ABroloster79, would you look at the new version? I have kept every word that was cited and moved them about. — Noah_of_Kessel (talk) 15:44, 3 February 2024 (VMT)
