Contested deletion

[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... the page I created was mix of multiple wikipedia pages. I intended to create a sepereate page for this instead of having it as a sub section under the flag of Germany. The information that you said was copyrighted was not from those websites but from my translation of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagge_der_Deutschen_Demokratischen_Republik . --DeutscheJacob (talk) 11:23, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect in the way

[edit]

{{Admin help}} I reviewed this draft and would like to accept it. However, there is a redirect in the way. This redirect points to a subsection of another article. This draft is much more detailed and would be a good split off. Could an admin please help me with the move. Thanks! Happy Squirrel (talk) 01:55, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Happy Squirrel. Done. Be aware of the copyright issue I fixed by providing attribution through a dummy edit. This was unacceptable for a move to the mainspace until that was fixed. (The link I screwed up in my edit summary btw, was to WP:PATT.) Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:24, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Proposal

[edit]

I propose that the page be renamed "Flag of the German Democratic Republic" with the current title redirecting to this page since "German Democratic Republic" is the correct name of the state. BaronVonchesto (talk) 14:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

History needs editing

[edit]

The History section needs an edit for grammar and encyclopedic tone. It currently has the aura of something too-literally translated from German. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:777C:C750:6136:B90D:4F57:BDF7 (talk) 17:53, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Writing needs review - Translation errors leftovers

[edit]

There are many instances of the article, specifically on the «History» section, where grammar mistakes are very evident. It seems to be translated very literally from German using machine translation with no post-editing done. --38.25.30.164 (talk) 01:09, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
