I would like to change the short description of the national anthem because the "Deutschlandlied" or "Song of Germany" is not the right name so i would like to change it to "Lied der Deutschen" or "Song of the Germans". This is but a small change and justified for example by the article about the German national anthem Ravgnin (talk) 14:15, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Not done: This was explained above. Both variants are correct, and the article about it is currently at Deutschlandlied, so for consistency that is what is going to be used. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:52, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Thats just stupid. The title is clearly „Lied der Deutschen“:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Deutschlandlied.jpg

So it can not be called „Deutschlandlied“. I also can not say „moonmetothefly“ to the song „fly me to the moon“ because that is just not the title. Honestly, whats wrong with some Misplaced Pages dudes in charge? Is the whole world going stupid or what? 2003:C8:6F19:1900:F1C:7128:780D:2BFD (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

name of the state is Deutschland, not „Germany“

The country's name is Deutschland and nothing else. Therefore articles like this should use exactly this name. A name is a name and can not be changed or decided by other parties. It is outrageous that people from wherever are using made up things like „Germany“ and are also spreading those made up nonsense like it realy exists. For example the former USA president Barack Obama is called everywhere „Barack Obama“, because thats his name. It does not matter where he is, lives or travels through or where a text is written or a speach is told about him. His name is his name. His name is not „Obamany“ or whatever made up stuff comes to other peoples mind for whatever dumb reason. The same goes with names of states or cities. They have all their own names and everyone else should use exactly those names (or official(!) transcriptions(!) if you can not write them). If a person cant pronounce it right, he should just learn it instead of creating, learning and using some exclusive fantasy. So offical texts and especially dictionaries should use the name of the states as they are. And the name of Deutschland is Deutchland and not „Germany“. A country named „Germany“ does not exist.2003:C8:6F19:1900:F1C:7128:780D:2BFD (talk) 17:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC) Boy, I wish I'd been taught all these principles a half century ago, when my junior high school and high school French teachers kept calling me Etien. And come to think of it, I'm trying to remember if when I studied in Poland (almost as long ago), the language class teacher was calling me Szczepan. So now, when we get EVERY ONE of the "official" texts and dictionaries to say Deutschland and not Germany (or Allemagne or Niemcy or ...), then Misplaced Pages can follow along. Then we can work on Warszawa, Magyarorszag, 'Ellados, Crnogorska, ... Uporządnicki (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC) And what about Kyiv, Ukraina, Moskva, Praha, Hessen, Sachsen, Rheinland-Pfalz and Nederland? CorruptCalvin1958 (talk) 20:32, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. there are many edits to the article Germany, of which the current one is simply adding links to the article. which one do you want reverted and why? 💜 melecie talk - 04:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Population density

Some version of this file should end up somewhere on the page to clearly illustrate to people the relative crush along the Rhine and vacancy across most of the east. There are also much more attractive historical maps to use than what we've currently got. Cf. the Wiktionary entry. — LlywelynII 19:47, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Attractiveness is a secondary concern to informativeness - which specific maps do you feel should be added where? Nikkimaria (talk) 04:26, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

States of Germany

Some version of this file should end up on the page to obviously illustrate to the states along the Rhine and vacancy across most of the east. Also, i don't own this file.

Vorpommern North Rhine-
Westphalia Rhineland-
Palatinate Saarland Saxony Saxony-

173.76.31.74 (talk) 16:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC) The tradition of a Christmas tree started in Germany.

I think the way it is mentioned in Germany#Culture is sufficient. If you think it should be phrased differently, please suggest a new sentence and explain why yours is superior. —Kusma (talk) 16:42, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
