Just wrote first article for wikipedia about a German politician. Needed a link to the German Revolution of 1918 and found this article.
I feel it would be better titled "German Revolution of 1918" rather than "German Revolution", because there has been more than one revolution in the history of Germany, for example, the German Revolution of 1848. The only way to distinguish between these revolutions is to use their full names.
So the casualties are listed to be a total of 300,000 killed and wounded? Yet I fail to see any source for these numbers. Someone needs to fact check this, as the same article in the German Wikipedia doesnt mention any casualties at all (also suspicious)
A request has been made to rename "Soviet Republic of Saxony" to "Saxony in the German Revolution (1918–1919)". With the renaming, "Soviet Republic of Saxony" would be removed from this page's infobox.
Now that I've finished adding sources and making changes associated with that exercise, I still have some additional work I think should be done. For one, the background sections are too long and contain material that has little or nothing to do with the lead-up to the revolution (most notably the 'Russian Revolution' section, which could be reduced to two or three sentences). The page as a whole also reads at times a bit like a series of mini-articles and could be smoothed out and tightened up.
