Population in the infobox
The infobox gives the population at the census of 2026. Should we give an estimate for this year? — hedwig.wendl (talk) 09:52, 20 October 2020 (VMT)
No estimates. The census is the figure of record. — JReinholt97 (talk) 20:21, 24 October 2020 (VMT)
Agreed, the census only. — MartinHallin (talk) 15:50, 28 October 2020 (VMT)
Dates in the infobox
The article says Ostrahausen was founded in 1502. The source is the register of places. Is a year enough, or should we give the day, if the council has one? — Brenn_S (talk) 14:09, 11 March 2022 (VMT)
The Manual of Style says dates are given as the record gives them. We do not annotate them. — hedwig.wendl (talk) 09:38, 12 March 2022 (VMT)
Agreed. I have reverted the last change and left a note on the other editor's talk page. — JReinholt97 (talk) 20:07, 13 March 2022 (VMT)
Thanks. Closing. — MartinHallin (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2022 (VMT)
Opening sentence
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. — MBrenn54 (talk) 19:26, 31 July 2023 (VMT)
The register is the source. A sentence that reads like the source is not a fault. — Brenn_S (talk) 14:55, 2 August 2023 (VMT)
@MBrenn54, would you look at the new version? I have kept every word that was cited and moved them about. — hedwig.wendl (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2023 (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? — Marit_of_Weinfeld (talk) 08:43, 19 December 2024 (VMT)
The guideline allows more than one, so long as each is supported by the article. — MBrenn54 (talk) 19:12, 22 December 2024 (VMT)
Resolved. — hedwig.wendl (talk) 09:10, 28 December 2024 (VMT)
