- Merci, cher DocteurCosmos, je suis venue pour rester! Thanks for your welcome greetings! As I am working on a French-German project (Les debuts d'automobile en Allemagne et en France: Bertha Benz et Louise Sarazin-Levassor) I hopefully will contribute to Wikipedia a lot more in the future. A bientot!--Edgar Meyer (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Linking to German Framework Road
Hello! If you want to link from one Wikipedia article to another, as you have for some articles linking to German Framework Road, the correct method is to use a wikilink and not a ref or a hyperlink. Please see Help:Link. For example, instead of writing
<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Framework_Road Located on the German Framework Road]</ref>
you would write
Located on the [[German Framework Road]]
which displays as
- Located on the German Framework Road
Thanks. --Uncia (talk) 13:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Uncia, Thanks. We do the very same in the German Wikipedia - if there is a complete article. As the location on a major German tourist route is a valuable information for a future visitor from the sister city, I thought using a ref would be the best way - without destroying the first information. Is that acceptable? How come your German is so good? Best regards, --Edgar Meyer (talk) 14:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and in an article about a city we normally put only facts about that city, not about cities that have some relation to it. We do mention the related cities and what the relation is, and wikilink to the articles for those cities. For example, Nienburg, Lower Saxony is a Sister City of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and the article does say that, but we expect the reader to follow the link to Nienburg if they want more information. Wikipedia is not a site for tourists; there's a separate site WikiTravel that has tourist information. --Uncia (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
