In the first paragraph it is written: {{quote|In 1806, after a successful invasion of Prussia and the defeat of Prussia and Russia at the joint battles of Jena-Auerstedt, Napoleon dictated the Treaty of Pressburg, in which the Emperor dissolved the Holy Roman Empire.}} If I look on the others articles of WP, I discover that the Treaty of Pressburg is from the 26th of December 1805 < 1806!! Moreover the Russia was not part of the battle of Jena. I think the right sentence is: the battles of Austerlitz of 1805... lead to the Treaty of Pressburg. Battle of Jena confirmated that Napoleon is the ''boss in Germany''. What I don't understand is how is it possible to write such thing and then to source then.

Fair Use Rationale for website and historical images

The Prussian Culture Bureau claims the copyright on this picture; it is a widely use caricature of the problems related to censorship, particularly in the Vormärz. My rationale for using it: it appears in a variety of texts and publications; it was published in newspapers in 1848 and later, and is available through those sites as well. It is a specific illustration of the ways in which different parts of the population, specifically among the intelligenstia, were hampered by such measures as the Carlsbad Decrees, the Six Articles, and the 10 Articles. In this caricature, the various members of society are represented (lawyers, politicians, students, businessmen, etc.) and they are shown as blinded, deafened, gagged, although they are trying to discuss something.

thank you
Wonderful, outstanding article! A heartfelt "thank you" to everybody involved in its creation! 217.234.25.90 (talk) 02:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
The Battle of the Nations
I propose that we mark the mention of the Battle of the Nations (Battle of Leipzig) in the text by adding its date (October 1813), thus helping non-expert readers to fit this event into its time-frame. -- Pedant17 (talk) 01:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Done. Good idea. auntieruth (talk) 01:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Social insurance
The article mentions "social insurance" -- a technical term seldom used in some English-speaking jurisdictions. I suggest that we link it as social insurance. -- Pedant17 (talk) 02:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Epic fail for Wikipedia
Germany united in 1990, not 1871. 142.110.227.191 (talk) 01:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- The top of the article clearly states that this article deals with the Unification of Germany in 1871. This is a completely separate event from the Reunification of Germany in 1990. That event is addressed in the article German reunification. Zachlipton (talk) 01:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- As Zachlipton said. Germany unified more than once, the first time being in 1871 after being a series of small German states ruled by Spanish emperors and known as the Holy Roman Empire. I suggest you brush up on German history before exclaiming epic fail like you just did. –MuZemike 07:13, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Big fail from a User! Article is as far as i know right! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.183.190.172 (talk) 07:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Not done: The page's protection level has changed since this request was placed. You should now be able to edit the page yourself. If you still seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. The article is unprotected, so you could conceivable make the change yourself. However, even though you can edit the article, that link should not go in, as it is a self-made picture, and doesn't meet the very high standards of our guideline on external links.

Problem of Chronology
In the first paragraph it is written:
In 1806, after a successful invasion of Prussia and the defeat of Prussia and Russia at the joint battles of Jena-Auerstedt, Napoleon dictated the Treaty of Pressburg, in which the Emperor dissolved the Holy Roman Empire.
If I look on the others articles of WP, I discover that the Treaty of Pressburg is from the 26th of December 1805 < 1806!! Moreover the Russia was not part of the battle of Jena. I think the right sentence is: the battles of Austerlitz of 1805... lead to the Treaty of Pressburg. Battle of Jena confirmated that Napoleon is the boss in Germany. What I don't understand is how is it possible to write such thing and then to source then. 194.138.39.56 (talk) 09:55, 6 December 2011 (UTC) (psemdel in Fr)
