Article Kilchberg[edit]

Hi! Thank you for creating the English article about Kilchberg. First I have to say that I moved (renamed) the article. Maybe you've already noticed it. I adjusted it to the German article name. I also did some correctings. For instance I removed the categories "Town in Baden-Württemberg" and "Tübingen district". Kilchberg is no town, but a suburb of the town of Tübingen. I added the category "Tübingen" (town category) instead. Suburbs are sorted in the town category, but not in the district category. You've wrote: "Kilchberg is a small rural farming village". It's still rural, however it is no farming village anymore.

I observed that you wrote plenty about the nobility of the village. That's great! But maybe you could separate the history of the nobility from the concrete history of the village. In addition you should use no listings, where continuous text is desired. I didn't read the whole history, but I noticed that you equate "Reichsritter" (Imperial Knights) with "Freiherren" (barons). Baron is a higher title than an Imperial Knight. At last I congratulate you on your first article. Good job! Well done! Very few authors try hard on their first article(s). You also specified the sources. If you have the detailed pagination - state it, too. A final tip, look up: Wikipedia:Footnotes. References usually are stated as footnotes.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I won't bite ;-). By the way, you can use other articles as guidelines, if you want. For example: the article Schwalldorf.
