Principality of Erfurt

5x expanded by OwenBlacker (talk). Self-nominated at 00:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Thank you Jolly Janner (also, say hi to Plymouth for me; I grew up in Ivybridge :o) ). I was meaning to fix the {{cn}} I forgot that I'd left about the destruction of the Cyriaksburg Fortress this evening, so I shall find a suitable reference for that first background paragraph as well.
The destruction of the Napoleonsäule is referenced in citation 8 ("Denkmale Erfurts 1806–1814" [Monuments of Erfurt 1806–1814] (in German). Thüringer Naturbrief. Retrieved 3 January 2016., which has an image of Beck's painting of the column all aflame). The relevant passage reads Template:Talkquote, which Google translates to Template:Talkquote
I've also added an inline citation pointing to reference 5 ("1806–1814: Erfurt unter französischer Besetzung" [1806–1814: Erfurt under French occupation] (in German). Erfurt Stadtverwaltung [Erfurt city administration]. Retrieved 2 January 2016.) where it reads Template:Tq, which Google translates to Template:Tq. Both machine translations are clearly imperfect, but both should give you enough detail not to need to assume my good faith, I would hope? :o) I've also added clearer citations to both of those pages for the detail of the Napoleonshöhe as well, fwiw.
Does that resolve your concerns with ALT2 ? Do you still need me to sort out a reference for the first paragraph of the background section or can that be taken in good faith for the DYKnom? (Like I say, I should be able to look at that this evening, I would hope.) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 07:56, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

The referencing on its destruction is/was perfect. It is merely that I was searching for potential hooks to celebrate Wikipedia's 15th Birthday and felt that would be ideal, however mentioning its destruction put a damper on the theme. The Birthday has since passed, so any closing reviewer can select whichever hook they prefer (in full).
