Ich werde File:Stavenhagen in DM.png löschen, um auf Commons zurückzufallen. Agathoclea (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Ja, danke. Rauenstein (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Ich bin nur zufällig auf Deine gegenwärtige Aktion gestossen, wenn irgentwelche andere Problemblder existieren lass es mich wissen - zB es liegen noch einige der alten Lage in Deutschland Bilder unnütz herum. Agathoclea (talk) 15:47, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Diese werden immer weniger eingesetzt, weil in den meisten Wikipedias inzwischen koordinatenbasierende Lagepunktkarten eingebaut werden. Auch die commons-Kategorie der OpenGeodb-Punktkaren konnte seit 2007 von 3500 auf 850 Einträge reduziert werden. Falls es in enwiki noch verwaisre lokale Punktkarten gibt, sollten die ebenfalls gelöscht werden. Was die Kartenaustauschaktion betrifft, bleiben diese dann bestehen, solange es die Landkreise gibt (2001/2012), neue Varianten werden dann überschrieben. gruss Rauenstein (talk) 15:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Association of the Three Rivers communes

Hello, can you rename and recreate this article? The new name is Communauté de communes des Vosges Méridionales since 2009. See also Communauté de communes des Trois Rivières. Thanks and Regards. Rauenstein (talk) 22:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

You are, of course, free to rename this or any other entry if you think that will be an improvement. In this case, I do not know if your preference for a francophone name in an anglophone entry is because (1) it is difficult to translate the thing into English or (2) you are confident that everyone reading the english language entry will understand the nuances of the French language sufficiently to understand a francophone title.

If (1) I agree with you. The concepts involved do not migrate easily into the anglo-american consciousness. Maybe we should give ujp trying to inform people who are not as fluent as you are in French.

If (2), then, again, probably we should save ourselves from the effort to translate francophone entries pour les anglophones, because we know that the only anglophones who are interested can already read the thing in French. I find that depressing (and probably not true)!

If there are arguments in favour of both titles, then that is the reason why the wiki-god has invented Redirect pages for us.

Why do wiki-entries have titles? So that people can find them, maybe? Again, please keep this in your mind when you think about renaming entries.

In the present case, there are likely to be lots of links between different levels of the French administrative structure, which seems to me to be a good reason to be more than usually cautious about renaming stuff.
