stubs

Please use {roman-stub} for your articles. --MarSch 1 July 2005 16:26 (UTC)

I found quite a few articles that were unstubbed. I have no preference to what stub you should use, I only care that you use one. Isn't ancient rome and the holy roman empire kind of the same thing? --MarSch 2 July 2005 11:13 (UTC)

Fürstenberg

I wonder if you would take a look at the Furstenberg disambiguation page I've created? I'm relying on a rather outdated 1911 Brittanica entry for most of my information. Are there still the two houses, Donaueschingen and Konigshof, or has one or the other become extinct? It seems there were several branches that arose only to have a scion die with out issue, its titles to devolve upon another branch. It gets very confusing, and I don't have access to good sources.

I noticed that you had done work on several of the Fürstenberg principalities and counties, and I thought we should coordinate our efforts. There need to be biographies created on the more illustrious members of the family (the marshalls and diplomats and cardinals, not just the fashion designer!) and the details of how they all relate to each other worked out. When I have a chance, I will be contacting this gentleman, my old professor, [1], to see how, if at all, he fits into the picture. --Jpbrenna 7 July 2005 07:31 (UTC)

=== hre and german history stub ===

I wasn't trying to be facetious in the least about the problems concerning the not-quite consensus in en-wiki; there have been proposals ranging from 800 to 1990 to be seen as the start of 'german' history Lectonar 7 July 2005 10:06 (UTC)

Fürstenberg (again)

There are a couple of concentration camp articles linking to the Fürstenberg page. They seem to be describing a place 90 km north of Berlin that was connected to the Ravensbruck camp. That's why in my original Fürstenberg disambiguation, I put "several" places because I thought there must be at least two places by that name in Germany. I wonder if this other Fürstenberg got its name from the Hohenzollerns or some other family having a residence there? The other possibility is that the person who made the concentration camp article made a mistake. I don't speak German so my ability to research this matter is limited. If you find any information, please let me know. Thanks! --Jpbrenna 03:44, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Nevermind, I I found the German page, Fürstenberg which explains everything. I will try to import it piece by piece to the English Wikipedia and have you look at it when I'm done, so that it doesn't get botched too badly ;)

Ok, check it out: Fürstenberg. I wonder, should we merge the Fürstenberg (state) page there as well? --Jpbrenna 16:14, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

It sounds like a good idea to me. --Jpbrenna 07:20, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Can you back check me

re: this edit

I was tracking down a link reference to 'Count of Stolberg', and inferred boldly, that the given edit was a better 'cold discription' of the inheritance record in this case—in the changes, I'm obviously attempting to make plain the title migration and get in the terms I know in use here in wikipedia.

Since you founded the original, figured you were more qualified than I to shoot holes in my revision (interpretation or discription)! (I find myself working on cross links and such, rationalizing articles into better mutual agreement and so forth fairly often crossing the many historical and places references in 1632 series which is focused fully in the 17th century mess that evolved into todays Germay.

Also, if you read or speak German, this article is in critical need of attention, despite my best cleanup try last evening—which I have reason to doubt and I can't cross check meanings with the de:wikipedia.) [I've asked someone who can to do that check, as well, but he's been contributing less frequently lately, so the more the merrier!]

Anyway, this (and that start of a) description seems most likely to me, and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! <g>

Is there an online (English) reference that can be accessed for this geological-geopolitical messiness in the Germanies? T'would be really handy. Thanks, and nice-to-meetchya! // FrankB 16:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
