Help with accessing Bundestag archives
I am currently writing an article on Hans-Joachim Hacker. You can read the discussion at Template:Did you know nominations/Hans-Joachim Hacker. Basically, to avoid WP:SYNTH problems, I need to find a source directly stating that he joined the Bundestag directly from the Volkskammer on 3 October 1990. There is a source saying that he did join on the date, which all but confirms it, but I've been told that that's not enough for a source. So, I was wondering, would it be possible to have someone in Germany contact the Bundestag Parlamentsarchiv and inquire if they have a list of the 144 Volkskammer members that automatically joined the Bundestag on 3 October? It seems like there are no online archives of documents regarding reunification but if I am wrong please let me know where I could fine these. For the documents a digital scan would be preferable, but if not, the text itself would work fine also. Thanks, Chorchapu (talk | edits) 21:26, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Jedox article improvements
I have an ongoing request for the Jedox Wikipedia page, it is a German software company and the article currently has several tags that note room for improvement. The Talk page has my request outlined and additionally, I have made a user space draft with my full proposal.
This request was made as part of my work for Beutler Ink, on behalf of our client Jedox. Because I have a financial conflict of interest, I prefer not to make direct edits. Always happy to discuss the request, as well. Cheers BINK Robin (talk) 20:34, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
Translation help needed for bilingual welcome template
Courtesy link: Template:Welcome-foreign/German
Hello. Can you help verify a brief, English-to-German translation in a welcome template?
Template:Welcome-foreign is a bilingual welcome template used to welcome new users who have written content in some other language besides English. The template welcomes them first in English, then in their own language, as long as it is one of the three dozen languages it can handle. New languages are easily added. I have added support for German, but I don't know German well enough so I used automatic translation to create Template:Welcome-foreign/German from the original at Template:Welcome-foreign/English. I'd appreciate it if a native German speaker could verify or improve the translation. Feel free to edit it directly, or paste a better translation below, if you prefer not to edit a template. Thanks!
