Hi, I've been removing the html from this page and replacing it with Wiki markup. Please also take a look at Project:Manual of style to see how we like to format travel guides. Thanks for your contributions! This page is really coming along and well on it's way to being a guide or even a Star! (WT-en) Majnoona 14:56, 25 Jan 2006 (EST)

Quotes

Why is the reference to murdered Jews in quotes? Quotes seem to imply that what occurred was something other than murder. The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin refers to the murdered Jews of Europe (no quotes).

Please feel free to plunge forward and fix it! --(WT-en) Peter ^Talk 16:28, 4 February 2010 (EST)

Gottingen in the news

Cannabis plants spring up all over German town after campaigners plant thousands of seeds.

Will that become a tourist attraction? Will the response from the cops need a note in "stay safe"? Pashley (talk) 16:04, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Import de:Südniedersachsen?

When I removed Göttingen from Weser Uplands I saw, that the city has the IsPartof|Weser Uplands too. That's wrong, Göttingen is part of the regions Leine Uplands, Leine Valley and South Lower Saxony. If a importeur would import de:Südniedersachsen, I will translate it by and by, and it could be classified correctly. --Tine (talk) 08:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I would suggest before making pages orphans that we start a discussion on the talk page of Lower Saxony on reorganising the regions. With the current sub-regions definition on this site Göttingen, Bad Gandersheim and Einbeck are in Weser Uplands. Be careful trying to mirror the structure on the German site. The towns in Harz also needs some discussion as this region really goes over two states. --Traveler100 (talk) 10:18, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I read the discussion, bu I can't find a definition for Göttingen being part of the Weser uplands. I understand, that the definition of South Lower Saxony here on en:wv is another then the traditional understanding of South Lower Saxony. That's practical in this case, but Bad Gandersheim, Göttingen and Einbeck are definitely no part of the Weser Uplands. But it is no problem for me, if someone revert my modifications in Göttingen and Weser Uplands. --Tine (talk) 19:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I first didn't read carefully, sorry - I saw the map showing Göttingen as part of Weser uplands on Lower Saxony now. I'm sorry starting this discussion without having all details - I withdraw my suggestion due to missing ressources to discuss all regions of Lower Saxony. --Tine (talk) 19:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I think you are correct to question the current definitions but just need define what the new ones are first. --Traveler100 (talk) 23:32, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Cemetery tourists

Can Göttingen be considered as a notable city for tombstone tourists? The old Stadtfriedhof is a historic cemetery with graves of important scholars including no less than eight Nobel Prize winners. Albanifriedhof is most famous as the final resting place of Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Welcome! I "signed" for you because on talk pages, it's customary to type 4 tildes (~) in a row at the end of each post.

To answer your question, yes, I think you've amply established that the old cemetery should be a "See" listing. Please add a listing for it. I'd encourage you to use the "See" template; you can put an empty "See" template in the article by hitting the temple icon to the right of the word "Listings" on your edit screen. Or just put up the information however you like and either you or someone else can format it into a templated listing later. Thanks a lot! Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:31, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

• I felt like starting things. C. F. Gauss was a thick-brained MF; I admire him and his work a lot. It's a real pleasure to write this listing. Ibaman (talk) 16:38, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
