Please add in the intro that Germany is on the crossroads of Western and Central Europe. https://globalindices.iupui.edu/environment-index/historical-data/regions/northern-western-europe/index.html https://open.lib.umn.edu/worldgeography/chapter/2-3-regions-of-western-europe/ 2600:100C:A21C:E44E:DC4:BC3B:4D5B:AA52 (talk) 23:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

In the intro, please add that Germany is on the crossroads of Western and Central Europe. There are also several sources that place it in Western Europe as well.2600:100C:A21C:E44E:2CF0:7EE2:2CCD:CA5C (talk) 02:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC) https://guides.lib.uw.edu/c.php?g=341441&p=2298853

 Not done: Asking volunteers to add that Germany is on the cross... is insufficient per our guidelines on making edit requests and the very template you are invoking. You need to write out what you want the article to say specifically and you need to produce the sources yourself. Please do not re-open this request until you do so, IP.

I want to complain for being threatened while reading this page

Some US companies here, Bulgaria, said I should be fired for reading about German literature and philosophy, here, on the page, as this is against >their politics of verbal offences towards German managers and Germany in all that are mostly expressred by the pro-american Boundarians, who offends us for days, because they started offending almost anyone they do not recognize as boundarian, but they knowing that I read philosophy were verbally offending me even since 2 years ago, when after Mr. Stanishev announced war at my face, I want to complain ... even here, because this is unbearable sometimes and I wont agree with any "US managers" who claim they can forbid me in Europe to read German philosophy and literature, this I wont do, and I care not about their companies the way they wont cope after it (as usual).

I want to complain for being threatened while reading philosophy and literature on this page (2 part)

I want to complain about after expressing my complaint here, I was ?kindly adviced that "I should really stop reading... about German philosophy and culture", because once again "US companies" would fire me, and again I received verbal offences, it is not true any more that only I recieve such offences, other are being offenced either. --Onlineeditor234 (talk) 10:05, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Possibly erroneous preview.

Preview for article "Federal Republic of Germany" (1990-present) states "51*N 9*E".
