Prussian Empire

Hey, thanks for starting Prussian Empire, but it looks like you're covering the same material as German Empire. If the subject matters are in fact the same, we wouldn't want two different articles; see Wikipedia:Content forking. Cheers, Melchoir (talk) 18:48, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Template:German Reich. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ben Ben (talk) 09:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Prussian Empire

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Prussian Empire. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Prussia. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Prussia - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Ben Ben (talk) 09:43, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Links in Germany-article

Hello, thanks for your contribution to the Germany-article. However before adding more links, please read up on Wikipedia guidelines, especially WP:LINKS. As a rule of thumb single years like "1929" should not be linked (unless a "1929"-article exists and contains vital, relevant information for the article). Also links to certain terms like "Treaty of Versailles" are generally only inserted once or twice per article, more is called "overlinking" and is usually discouraged. Thanks for your consideration.
