Article life

[edit]

While looking for... (wait a minute,... forgot already!) I run across a funny sounding name. I spent surprisingly long time (nearly two hours) for such a short text because I had to untangle quite a bit of confusion about history and geography, both in wikipedias and in the wider wwweb. - Altenmann >t 23:21, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Untranslated Russian Text

[edit]

The article contains the following sentence:

On the Soviet maps it was denoted as "Мезерицкий укрепрайон".

What possible purpose does it serve to include the untranslated, untransliterated Russian name for the camp, other than to show off the erudition of some editor? This is English Wikipedia, not World-Languages Wikipedia. Somebody please translate the Russian text or delete the sentence. (What's the point of telling readers that Soviet maps called the place "Camp Mezeritsky", anyway? How does that add to anybody's useful knowledge about it?)

Regenwurmlager#Merger discussion

[edit]

The Festungsfront Oder-Warthe-Bogen is the rails system within the tunnels of the Regenwurmlager. The article should combine both elements because the railway can't exist without the tunnel network. Furthermore I find it odd that this article makes no mention Festungsfront Oder-Warthe-Bogen. A grave oversight for an encyclopedia.86.141.111.51 (talk) 11:01, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support the merge, but in the other direction (to Festungsfront Oder-Warthe-Bogen). Festungsfront Oder-Warthe-Bogen is the older article, is more developed, and I wonder whether its the more formal title. Regenwurmlager (earthworm camp?). I note an interesting blog using that term.
