Talk:Emden

Translations

I would like to translate large parts of the articles from the Dutch and German Wikipedia (both are featured ones) in the next months. I would appreciate if somebody could overlook the translations, since I am no native speaker.--Frisia Orientalis 17:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Please check Wikipedia:Translation for the proper way to establish a translation workflow. I'd be willing to help. --Dschwen(A) 18:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Added Germany towns map

14-Sep-2007: I haved added a quick map of Germany (extended from the CIA map), to show Emden with other towns. Most maps out there are not readable in a wiki article, due to tiny lettering. An entire map-subculture has grown around blank, jigsaw ink-blot maps showing an unlabeled region with a shaded jigsaw area. In fact, readable maps are so rare in WP, they almost seem magical: the trick is font-size, with 1-pixel thickness for EACH 250px of map width, when full-size. As a map is down-scaled, the lettering tends to blur; however, a 750px map can be scaled to 250px as readable, when lettering has 3-pixel thickness. Shaded lettering could also appear visible with a similar 2-pixel + gray-pixel shading. However, map labels of 1-pixel thickness are almost always invisible when resized onto a WP article page. To improve map readability, label the towns with wider fonts, as 2-pixel thickness or more. -Wikid77 04:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

While your points are not without merit, there is one thing you are missing entirely: Your map exceeds the scope of the article. It would be fine for the Germany article, but apart from having the meta:WikiMiniAtlas the little locator map is enough to place Emden geographically. Any further information can be obtained in other articles. It should not be crammed into this one. --Dschwen 06:16, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The Missing "Emden"

"A deep sea spot in the Pacific Ocean close to the Philippines is named after the "second" Emden ship, and is therefore called Emdentief in German. The spot (10,400 m deep) was sounded in the 1920s (in 1920, 1923 or 1928 - sources vary)."

Whatever the date the ship in question was the third Emden, not the second.
