Hallo Graham, It seems that you have just recently joined, so welcome to wikipedia.It seems like you do not have maps to look at as to where the towns, cities of Prussia are located. On my H. Jonat page you can find old maps of Prussia.I personally own the one from ca 1660 as a reprint by the Royal .. society of London, published by Barnes&Noble. The large one I show on my page is from the library ucla univ.All cities on my original list are within Prussia (the original Old Prussian Land) before it was united with Brandenburg in 1618 as Brandenburg-Prussia. H. Jonat
- HJ, thank you for your welcome. I hear what you say about the cities being within the original Old Prussian Land, but my concerns are that this does not give me, the reader, accurate historical information. I have covered this point fully on my latest post to talk:Famous people born in Prussia. Graham Chapman
Hi Graham (not the dead actor),
Welcome to Prussian roulette! if you ever find yourself in doubt (which doesn't seem likely, I admit), check out debate on Talk:Bohemia, Talk:Nicolaus Copernicus, Talk:Prussia, Talk:Widewuto....the list goes on and on. Glad you've joined the 'pedia -- J Hofmann Kemp
- ...not to mention the German kings and emperors, the Hohenzollerns, and many more. Veritably a trail of argument up hill and down dale! Thanks for the welcome, Julie. Yes, I can see it is well-trodden ground, so I will try not to repeat old arguments too much. Graham Chapman
Hi, I just wanted to leave a note telling you that I took JamieTheFoool and LittleGuru off the delete page. If a Wikipedian isn't in the user namespace, you don't have to wait for them to redirect it. You can do it yourself. (be bold) :) Dreamyshade
- Or better still, don't bother cleaning up if people are just going to argue over it. Why should I care about idiots and plagiarists in Wikipedia. But more to the point, we want rubbish pages in Wikipedia name space deleted, we don't want redirects in Wikipedia name space to user space. Graham Chapman
- But these 2 pages aren't rubbish pages: they are user pages that were in the wrong namespace. Redirects only take up a teensy amount of Wikipedia server-space anyway. Dreamyshade
- It's not the space, it's the name space. It's hard to see JamieTheFoool ever being wanted, but imagine a pop singer called "Little guru" suddenly becomes a world star. Someone tries to produce an article about them and they find they have to clean up rubbish left behind because we couldn't be bothered cleaning up rubbish. The error is in leaving the rubbish there in the first place. Graham Chapman
