Move German Culture -> German culture
[edit]This article has been renamed as the result of a move request.
This page was moved from Culture of Germany.
My reason for this is that German culture is connected to the language and not to any specific state or territory.

...however, as I understand the capitalization guidelines, culture ought not to be capitalized. This a move one can not do without being a Wikipedia:administrator.

I moved it, it's a technicality. --Joy [shallot] 04:06, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Who moved this Article to "Germanic culture"? Obviously someone who doesn't know what Germanic means. This would include the North Germanic (scandinavian) and the extinct East Germanic culture to this this term. Deutsche Kultur only refers to the historic continental (West)German(ic) cultural circle. By the way: DEUTSCHISCH doesn't exist in German. This would be a doubled adjective ending! The correct translation of "Germanic" is "Germanisch" --82.83.37.7 23:51, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Non-German German culture
[edit]I only noticed now that this page has been moved away from Culture of Germany. I find this move quite disturbing, since it reminds me of Nazi reasoning. I live in Luxembourg, and during WWII Luxembourg was annexed and all Luxembourgish culture (which had started to develop in the country since independence in ~1830) was suppressed. People with French names had to adopt German names. Culture in general was twisted into a German perspective. The motto of the whole this was Heim ins Reich - back to the Reich. My criticism is that since 1918, and certainly since 1945, the various German-speaking countries (i.e. Austria and Switzerland, mostly) have developped their own cultural traditions and trends. So this page is certainly informative concerning the pre-German Empire culture in German-speaking countries, but not really for culture in Austria, Germany and Switzerland since. In any case, the whole article mostly mentions culture of Germany. Luis rib 20:56, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
German speaking-German culture
[edit]The content dealing with Germany as a political state has been moved to the article Culture of Germany. Now the article discusses solely about the culture of the german speaking world. Robin klein 15:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Seems ironic there isn't a copy of this on de. Avriette 19:33, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Problematic
[edit]From my perspective this article is and was problematic. There were no references and no sources, but a lot of statements which were completely unfounded. I think there has been enough time (i. e. nearly three months) to raise the quality of this article. Nothing happened. So I decided to shorten the text and reduce it to an acceptable minimum. --Catgut 23:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, there are huge articles with practically no sources, I am sure that people will come up with references in due time. Try contacting the regular contributors of this article. Baristarim 00:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Move article
[edit]Germanic clearly is incorrect in this case. If the article should be kept, it should at least be moved to another title, such as "Culture of German-speaking Europe" or similar. 惑乱 分からん 14:52, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
