German TV channels

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on Super RTL. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. This article is not overly detailed, so adding "overly detailed' hat note is not appropriate.
Hello, I'm Spshu. I noticed that you recently removed content from Template:Television in Germany without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Making false claims of vandalism is not sufficient for good faith efforts. These Disney-ABC channels/networks do exists. Spshu (talk) 12:46, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for creating and maintaining portals around Germany, such as Portal:Weimar Republic, for selection of articles and images, and for news update, for templates such as {{Television in Germany}}, - danke, you are an awesome Wikipedian!
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:24, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Gerda! Vielen Dank! --Niet-0-leuk (talk) 16:59, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- In the de news: she didn't "receive" the prize yet, that will take place during the Buchmesse. I would fix it if I knew the proper term. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- "Margaret Atwood wins the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade." or "Margaret Atwood awarded Peace Prize of the German Book Trade." --Niet-0-leuk (talk) 11:42, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- "wins" has been criticized as looking like a lottery, "awarded" - I guess I though that also means the ceremony, not the decision, but I may be wrong. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:20, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- Mehr als "receive", "wins" und "awarded" fällt mir nicht ein. Vorschlag: Löschen der Nachricht bis zur Verleihung im Oktober. --Niet-0-leuk (talk) 02:00, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
Three years ago, you were recipient no. 1671 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

editGood work on Werner Goldberg. Despite a few years of piecemeal edits by others (some of them not very constructive), the vast majority of the article stands as you wrote it, and it's a nice concise piece on a fascinating subject (not so much Goldberg personally, since he was hardly unique in his situation, but the more general topic, of which Goldberg has become the "poster boy" – again. :-)
After doing a cleanup and clarification pass on the page, I would like to suggest reviewing WP:Manual of Style so your future prose requires less later cleanup by other editors. A few tidbits in particular:
- Parenthetical/bracketing commas always come in pairs (unless the second is replaced by a period, semicolon or other punctuation). "Goldberg was expelled from the army under Hitler's order of April 8, 1940, which stated that ..." requires the comma after "1940". In "The Gestapo, however, raided the hospital and ...", this use of "however" requires bracketing commas (without the commas it has a different, obscure and almost obsolete meaning of "The Gestapo, by whatever means, raided the hospital, and ..." which isn't what's intended, or even sensible in the context).
- Similarly in "In 2015, the photograph was used for ...", the comma is needed after the introductory phrase. Such commas should always be used, unless the sentence is very short: "In 2005 it all changed." (Even there, the comma is actually customary in higher registers of writing, and that "dramatic drop" style is almost never encyclopedic writing anyway, but used in low-end journalism, so it's not really a good exception to contemplate here.)
- A clarity and disambiguation matter: In something like "the 2006 documentary Hitler's Jewish Soldiers, a 58-minute film produced by Larry Price ... inspired by the 2002 book Hitler's Jewish Soldiers by Bryan Mark Rigg", please give full titles, or the result may be confusing and look like a copy-paste error (plus, complete titles help people actually find the right works if they go Googling around for them).
- In a source citation like '"HITLER'S JEWISH SOLDIERS". Doc & Co. Archived from the original on August 21, 2007. Retrieved 2008-05-10.', the title should not mimic SCREAMING ALL-CAPS like that, but be reduced to standard title case as "Hitler's Jewish Soldiers". Similarly, reduce to lower-case any over-capitalization of words not conventionally capitalized in the middle of a title, such as "of" and "and" in: Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story Of Nazi Racial Laws And Men Of Jewish Descent in the German Military.
- Also, when a site like Archive.org or Google Books provides an archival copy of such a resource published by someone else, they should never be listed as the
|publisher=value, but as the|via=value. (That's a WP:CITE and WP:CS1 matter, really, not a WP:MOS one).
Hope this helps, and please don't interpret it as criticism, just a request to save the rest of us some time and help keep the encyclopedic output consisten and easy to read. (Apologies if this is all old news to you, too; I realize you wrote the bulk of that piece over two years ago.)
