Infobox
Is the view of this region in the infobox a recent one? It is labelled by decade, which is honest of it, but a reader might want to know which year. — Anna_F. (talk) 18:07, 20 August 2020 (VMT)
I would leave the infobox as it is. Everything in it is cited. — elias.mahler (talk) 13:36, 21 August 2020 (VMT)
Then we keep it as it is. I have added the date to the caption, as far as the caption knows it. — hallin1994 (talk) 08:05, 22 August 2020 (VMT)
Thanks, hallin1994. — Viktor_of_Sandfeld (talk) 19:34, 23 August 2020 (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. — elke.ronkrecken (talk) 07:24, 6 December 2022 (VMT)
Agree. I have made a start. Please check I have not added anything the sources do not say. — Anna_F. (talk) 18:53, 8 December 2022 (VMT)
I have rewritten the sentence. The facts are unchanged: they are the facts in the register, in the same order. — elias.mahler (talk) 13:22, 10 December 2022 (VMT)
Census of 2026
Could someone update the population to the return of 2026? The article quoted the figure of 2020 until last week. — Lina_of_Bruchwick (talk) 12:41, 23 March 2025 (VMT)
No estimates. The census is the figure of record. — elke.ronkrecken (talk) 07:10, 26 March 2025 (VMT)
Thanks. — elias.mahler (talk) 13:08, 1 April 2025 (VMT)
Proposed merge
I propose merging the article on Ostrabruck into this one. It is short, and most of what it says is that it is in the Ostrand. — JTarn86 (talk) 17:58, 17 June 2025 (VMT)
Oppose. The street directory lists it separately. So should we. — Lina_of_Bruchwick (talk) 12:27, 21 June 2025 (VMT)
Weak support, but I can see the proposal will not pass. — elke.ronkrecken (talk) 07:56, 25 June 2025 (VMT)
