Photos edit

I just noticed there are some photos showing the Oktorberfest on this article now. However, I think it would be a good idea to tell people exactly where those fests were held, since there's no info about that in the captions or in the images' pages. I know it's logical to assume they were all taken in Bavaria, but since there are several Oktoberfests celebrated in many different places across the globe, I think it would be a good idea to specify location. In the captions, between parentheses, perhaps. What do you think?

I would do it myself, but since there's no info, I can't really know where they've been taken. – Kaonashi 00:56, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

All three photos look genuinely from Munich to me. Simon A. 8 July 2005 10:19 (UTC)

Oktoberfests outside Germany edit

How similiar are the Oktoberfests not taking place in Germany? Are there as on the Oktoberfest in Munich many transportable rides or are there just beer tents?

Yes, there are lots of rides.
