Population in the infobox
Is the population in the infobox the town or the district? The census return gives both, and the article does not say which it uses. — AKeitmann90 (talk) 08:13, 29 March 2019 (VMT)
The town. I have said so in the infobox. — MartaHelbein (talk) 19:42, 1 April 2019 (VMT)
@MartaHelbein Thanks. — stalsander1989 (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2019 (VMT)
Rewrite of the opening paragraph
I have trimmed the lead. It said Tarnhausen was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — sabine.bauer (talk) 13:30, 28 March 2023 (VMT)
@sabine.bauer I think it is fine as it is. The Encyclopedia is not a newspaper. — AKeitmann90 (talk) 08:59, 1 April 2023 (VMT)
I have rewritten the sentence. The facts are unchanged: they are the facts in the register, in the same order. — MartaHelbein (talk) 19:28, 5 April 2023 (VMT)
Thanks, MartaHelbein. That will do. — stalsander1989 (talk) 14:57, 9 April 2023 (VMT)
Dates
The article says Tarnhausen was founded in 1363. The source is the register of places. Is a year enough, or should we give the day, if the council has one? — Gansel_S (talk) 18:47, 11 April 2024 (VMT)
I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — sabine.bauer (talk) 13:16, 12 April 2024 (VMT)
Then leave it. I have asked for the infobox field to be protected, which I understand is not a thing that can be done to a single field. — AKeitmann90 (talk) 08:45, 13 April 2024 (VMT)
Category tidy-up
The categories at the foot of this article were added by several editors over several years and it shows. Could someone tidy them? — kreil1998 (talk) 07:04, 26 April 2025 (VMT)
The guideline says the most specific category that applies. I have applied it. — Gansel_S (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2025 (VMT)
@Gansel_S Understood. I have left it as it was. — sabine.bauer (talk) 13:02, 30 April 2025 (VMT)
Resolved. — AKeitmann90 (talk) 08:31, 2 May 2025 (VMT)
