Talk:Königsberg

So the German version of this Article includes "(niederpreußisch Keenigsbarg)", or the Lower Prussian name being Keenigsbarg. However, on this version that information was deleted for lack of a source. Which one is it? Does the information need to be deleted too on the German version or will it be added here?

Different language Wikipedias are their own projects. Articles are not required to conform to each other and may find different facts interesting or uninteresting, supported or unsupported. Here, unsupported material should be removed and citations are required when adding. As for German Wikipedia, we leave it to the German-speaking audience...

Could the following be used as a source then, cause I will absolutely add it as a source for the German wiki page as well if it can be. Otherwise a dictionary could also be used since it is a word translation and not an argument, fact, piece of data or otherwise: Dorch Keenigsbarg. Möt Riemelkes On 40 Holtschnettkes, Daniel Staschus, Gräfe un unzer Verlag, Königsberg i. Pr., 1924 Argacyan (talk) 21:04, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

How would I know? I don't have a copy and don't know if it verifies the facts. It doesn't seem to have a page number, so I suspect you don't know for sure either. Get a copy, find the fact, then cite with a page number included, I suppose. Skyerise (talk) 21:11, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

This sounds like a troll- the source would be cited generally refering to the booklet, which is itself written in Lower Prussian, containing the reference at several spots starting with the title itself which I provided. Argacyan (talk) 21:21, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

That was an honest answer. I don't read Prussian. It seems you're the troll, then. Skyerise (talk) 21:26, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

The green regional map that appears with this article is 99% inadequate because it contains no lettering whatsoever. Which country is which is left for the poor visitor to guess. This is beneath the standard that is expected of Wikipedia content. I ask, therefore, that either the existing useless map be revised or that it be replaced with one that has meaning.

Not all Wikipedia visitors are Americans ;) Synotia (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Not all are Europeans either - how’s your African geography without any country labels?

Names would be an improvement.—Ermenrich (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

if you cant read the English labels, then I guess you wont be able to read the English article. at the top of the talk page is is specifically stated that this article is in American English. 76.156.6.163 (talk) 00:15, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Would be nice to add the flag and coat of arms of Königsberg in the infobox, though I don't know how to do this here. Synotia (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

"....From the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries on, the inhabitants spoke predominantly German, although the city also had a profound influence upon the Lithuanian and Polish cultures..."

The inhabitants didn't just "spoke predominantly German". They were Germans!

This way it sounds like the people of Königsberg had some special national, not German identity. I mean it points out the Polish and Lithuanian influx. But why point out linguistics, instead of nationality.

It would be worth it to point it out, if they spoke a different language but German. KingOfRay (talk) 08:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
