Rappen
If you think that "Rappen" isn't a coin from Germany, first change the text in this article.
--Carlomorino (talk) 09:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Concerning http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Rappen
All shown coins belong to Switzerland, with one exeption http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rappen_pfennig_freiburg_.jpg a coin from 1290. Freiburg im Breisgau is indeed a city of Germany, but in 1290, there was no Germany! Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire
At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiburg you can read something about Freiburg in the year 1200.
My opinion: none of the shown rappen coins do refer to germany. Mit freundlichen Grüßen from Germany --Drdoht 10:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Danzig
Hello!
Please to use "Danzig" only about Free City. Thanks. --Starscream (talk) 17:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- at what location (category)? --Drdoht 17:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- "Danzig" and "Gdańsk" in English language are in the same way correct. But took root in Wikipedia to use "Danzig" only in the matter of the Free City. The usage alternant "Danzig" and "Gdańsk" causes misunderstandings. Greetings. --Starscream (talk) 17:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, Danzig became 1918 "Free city" after WWI. Now I dealed with very old coins, Holy Roman Empire. I suggest, at that time Danzig was named "Hansestadt", like Hamburg, Lübeck, Bremen in Germany. Danzig was german until 1945. Danzig is part of Poland since 1945, and so it changed to "Gdańsk". What shall we do now? greetings --Drdoht 17:21, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Kraków was also a member of Hanse. But it does not matter. I want avoidances of misunderstandings. The traversal of the subcategories in which "Danzig" and "Gdańsk" appears alternant, will cause misunderstandings. I assure that the name "Gdańsk" exists from Middle Ages. Even in Latin language are two names: "Dantiscum" and "Gedanum". The same way correct. I want only to prevent to the of chaos. Greetings. --Starscream (talk) 17:31, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear Drdoht,
Noticing the blue cast on the image File:Fairchild opamp ado-13.jpg, I wanted to ask whether you would mind if I balanced the contrast and colours a little?
You're free to revert any changes, of course :-).
Best regards, --

The thaler category
First of all, thank you for your thorough sorting of German coins on Commons!
I'd like to discuss a few things with you, though. My most pressing concern is that you generally remove the category "Thaler" from the thaler coins. It appears to me (correct me if I'm wrong) that your rationale is that thaler coins do not belong to one single period of German history and thus cannot be confined to any particular section of German coins - e.g. thalers are not products of the Holy Roman Empire only.
This is how I see things: 1) "Thaler" is a concept that has prevailed through centuries of European history as an important currency type. 2) Therefore, we should have a "Thaler" category on Commons, and we should be able to find (in principle) all thaler coins on Commons by browsing the "Thaler" category and its sub-categories. 3) If you are not comfortable with the idea of all thalers from the Joachimsthalers to 20th century Maria Theresia thalers being lumped together in a single category, the "Thaler" category could always have sub-divisions that would fit into, say "Category:Coins of the Holy Roman Empire" and others.
Please note that there are other currency units that have their own category, even though they were issued by different states. See for instance Category:Solidus.
Let me know what you think. Alfons Åberg (talk) 20:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
A couple of other things
I'm also concerned about this edit (and similar edits). This is a Prussian 20 mark coin from 1914, and should thus remain in Category:Coins of Prussia. I realise that the coin was issued after the German unification of 1871 and was issued according to the gold mark standard of the German Empire. Nevertheless, it is a Prussian coin and should remain in that category. Think of the implications - should German euro coins also be moved to Category:Euro coins, and should we abolish Category:Euro coins (Germany), simply because German euro coins do not represent an independent currency? Probably not :-)
The final thing is moving coins to Category:Medieval German coins. I'm thinking of this edit (and similar edits). Basically, a coin from 1696 is not medieval, so regardless where it belongs, it doesn't belong in Category:Medieval German coins. There might be different definitions as to when the medieval era ended, but it was certainly before 1696. Alfons Åberg (talk) 20:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your critical sight on the new directory of mostly german coins. I have structured the huge amount of mostly unsorted german money (coins & banknotes!) along the timeline. Now it’s telling a long story of with very interesting unknown details of history. The main structur was given by categories of others and I did some finetuning and streamlining.
Before starting I reflected on the problem – what’s the best way? Sorting by content, name or timeline. Everything seems to be mixed before I started and so there was a confusing bulk of names. „Money of Austria“ has until now a interesting structure along the timeline (somebody did this work). Generally it’s unfortunate that many coins are only pictured with only one side. (two sides on one picture is optimal). Refering to „Commons“ we need as much as possible subfolder and as less as possible files in it. Many many user don‘t understand the sense of categories and subcategories, and so a small mixing up will continue. These user are thinking “category“ means a „field of interest“. Everybody should compare the structure of wiki-categories with the computer’s directory.
So I considered primarily gathering all coins by time is the savest way for non-numismatic user (as I am). On this way I discharged all folders like „Thaler“, „Vereinsthaler“, „Groschen“, „Rappen“ etc. which are refering only to names and content (unfortunately there are suddenly confusing new austrian, switzer and other coins).
--> The very rest of my work I collected all unknown coins (to me) together in the folder „medevial coins“. Sorry.
On my way I recognized two main problems: 1) New times (>2002) – only few staates but a huge number of material. 2) Old times (<1900) – only few coins but a great number of small shorttime countries
1) Euro Coins: As you can check, every state wants to show its own pictures on the coins („Euro coins (Austria)“ until „Euro coins (Vatican)“, each ca 40-50 coins). It’s a unique currency indeed, but in sum to much coins! I did not create the folder „euro coins (germany)“, but I made subfolder for german goldcoins (32 files) and german commemorative coins (188 files) – and what’s in the year 2014?? It’s a overwhelming amount of pictures, please dont mix them up in the general folder „euro coins“. Euro coins are bringing up a new inflation – a numismatic one.
2) Old coins <1900: Just now. I had a short look on two schoolmaps from 1815 and 1914 – very confusing number of borderlines inside europe. And there was a great number of currencies (Gulden, Kronen, Thaler ...) I suggest the following will be helpfull:
- Let’s create a new main category/folder „Money of Europe before 1900“ or „Money of Europe until beginning 20th century“
- Next platform to be linked: „money of counties before 1900“ e.g. Duchy of Prussia, Duchy of Hanover-Lüneburg-Braunschweig, Hansestadt Lübeck, Freie Stadt Frankfurt ........, Lombardei ..... Böhmen ..... Switzerland .... Austria .... Vatican
- Other platform to be linked: „currencies before 1900“ e.g. Rappen before 1900, Goldmark before 1900, Kreuzer before 1900, Groschen before 1900, Heller before 1900, Kronen before 1900, Gulden before 1900, Forint before 1900, Thaler before 1900
By this way it should be possible, to incooperated all interesting coins listed in all categories „Money by country“ manually. Every interesting file gets only a second link. By this way, nobody disturbs the existing structure of main folders „Money of xxxx“ containing the stock of coins.
If we do so, I get rid of false categories switzer „Rappen“ austrian „Maria-Theresia-Thaler“, curious name „Groschen“ linked to my german structure of coins.
What do you think about this proposal? best regards --Drdoht 06:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
=========
"Coin picturing Wilhelm II": He was virtually King of Prussia but in reality Emperror of the German Empire. All coins are printed "Deutsches Reich 19xx" e.g. http://www.usagold.com/gold/coins/ger20mark.html and http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Reichsgesetzblatt_1896_Seite_195.png. Otherwise there are no stamps existing for prussia at that time. Very complicated political correlations in this time.
"Coin of Prussia" would mean, invalid in e.g. Bavaria and other parts of the German Empire. In fact this coin was valid in all parts of the German Empire.
hello
What do you mean by "private source" ? The coin is 1923 and created by a bank, but the photo is not. Are you the author of the photography ? The cleaning surrounding the coins is also pretty badly made, could you please rather uplaod the source image and request a wikigraphist to redo it ? thank you Lilyu (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for uploading the original photo :) the right part still have harsh hedges but it's ok
- Are you the photographer ? If yes, you would have to add your name as the photographer : the bank is only the creator of the coin. I don't know who hold copyright of the design of the coin, probably the German state or public domain. But as the photographer, you are the author of the photo, and your name should be cited :)
- Have a nice day, and thank you for sharing your images.--Lilyu (talk) 01:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Category:ASM-A-1 Tarzon
Hi there,
I noticed you removing Category:Tallboy bomb from Category:ASM-A-1 Tarzon. I readded the category only for it to be removed again without comment. The category is appropriate for the ASM-A-1 to be included under, as the ASM-A-1's actual "bomb" component was, in fact, a Tallboy. - The Bushranger (talk) 04:02, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Bushranger,
thank you for your remark refering ASM-A-1 Tarzon. As you can see I have structured the huge field [„air-dropped bombs“] by creating subfolders. First I sorted by states and then by time (WW1, WW2). There are about 600 entries from me and so I had no time to comment each move. Sorry that I didn’t notice, that you have made a remove of category „ASM-A-1 Tarzon“. Well, this type is US and made „after WW2“. The „Tallboy bomb“ is UK and made „during WW2“. There are similarities (not by size but by technique):
- british Category:Tallboy bomb ~ british Category:Grand Slam bomb ~ american Category:T-12 Cloudmaker.
- german Category:Fritz-X ~ american Category:ASM-A-1 Tarzon
best regards --Drdoht 00:55, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ah. Well, I can see your point. I assumed though, that since actual Tallboys (not sure if they were bought from England or license-produced) formed the core of Tarzon, it would fit as a subcategoy of Tallboy. :) - The Bushranger (talk) 06:46, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
sin/cos drehen?

- Alles klar, kein Problem - habe es revertiert. Ich versuche mal zu sehen, wie wir da noch einen kurzen erklärenden Text wie z.B. "Hiermit kannst du falsch gedrehte Bilder korrigieren (wie es z.B. oft bei Digitalfotos im Hochkantformat vorkommt)" in das Pop-up-Fenster einfügen.
