A question about Maastricht

Maastricht was under a joined sovereignty (condominium) of Liège (Westfalia circle) and Brabant (Burgundy circle). In which circle was Maastricht ?

Category:Holy Roman Empire vs. Category:States of the Holy Roman Empire vs. Category:Circles of the Holy Roman Empire

Category:Circles of the Holy Roman Empire is a category within Category:States of the Holy Roman Empire which is in turn a category within Category:Holy Roman Empire. — Robert Greer (talk) 00:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Directors

I find occasionally references to directors of the Imperial Circles. For example, Brendan Simms's The Struggle for Mastery in Germany calls the King of Prussia (presumably as Duke of Cleves and Mark) and the Elector of Cologne (presumably as Bishop of Münster) the directors of the Westphalian Circle in 1789. The German Wikipedia sometimes mentions the directors of the other circles in their articles - it says the duke of Bavaria and the archbishop of Salzburg directed the Bavarian circle; the duke of Württemberg in Swabia; the Bishop of Worms and Elector Palatine in the Upper Rhenish Circle; the King of Denmark (presumably as Duke of Holstein) and then later the Elector of Brandenburg (as Duke of Magdeburg) and King of Sweden (as Duke of Bremen) in the Lower Saxon Circle; and the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg in the Franconian circle. It'd be nice to find sources and be able to say definitively, though. john k (talk) 17:34, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article

There is nothing wrong with the content of this article. I would have to say it is a good article. Moreover, it does not need a lot of external references. That is because everything of value is blue-linked. The bottom formatting might need a little polishing. One or two references is enough to cover everything there. It could be expanded, no doubt. So could anything. To a large degree the blue links take care of that. I would expect that the tag could come off with some minor formatting and just a couple of references. The picture by the way is outstanding.Dave (talk) 17:01, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Imperial Circle → Imperial circle – The title of this article is not a proper name, there having always been multiple circles, so the word circle should not be capitalized. Indeed, it does not appear to be normally capitalized in academic publications. Surtsicna (talk) 14:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. © Tbhotch^™ (en-3). 04:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nothing in the article suggests that the title is the proper name of anything. Dicklyon (talk) 01:12, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Title is descriptive. Primergrey (talk) 08:47, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
