Dombrücke

I've added infoboxes for the current bridge, the previous bridge, and the one before that, called Dombrücke. There's a German article de:Dombrücke which really should be translated to English, which should then receive the Dombrücke infobox. I don't know German beyond knowing that "brücke" seems to be German for "bridge", so I'm not the one to translate. In the meantime, I'll just leave the infobox here. - Denimadept (talk) 22:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work Denimadept! There is a proposal to move this article (and others) to a new naming convention, in this case Hohenzollern Viaduct. You may respond to that if you'd like. I'll add the Dombrücke to my To Do list, not sure when I'll be able to get to it though. -- Eddyspeeder (talk) 12:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter that much to me. I like the idea of using the name the natives use, but translating it works too. Whether it's a "viaduct" or a "bridge" or a "brücke", "pont", "ponte", "most", or whatever, is not so much up to me. I just edit them, and create them using names that are documented somewhere. Did one last night, in fact. - Denimadept (talk) 18:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Originally I created Göltzschtalbrücke (I really like that name) but Wikipedia prefers translated names. So when I found out there was some inconsistency between bridges, I started a discussion and the [Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Germany/Conventions|WikiProject Germany conventions]] have been changed accordingly. Best regards, Eddyspeeder (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have translated de:Dombrücke to Cathedral Bridge. The infobox from this page by Denimadept has been moved there. Thanks! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 14:07, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hohenzollernbrücke Köln.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Hohenzollernbrücke Köln.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 17, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-08-17. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 23:01, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Hohenzollern Bridge crossing the Rhine in Cologne, Germany, with the Cologne Cathedral in the background. The bridge is a tied-arch railway bridge, as well as a pedestrian bridge. Originally built in 1911, it survived numerous Allied bombings in World War II, only to be destroyed by German engineers as the war drew to a close. Reconstruction began soon after and the bridge was opened to pedestrian traffic in 1948 and completely opened in 1959.Photo: Thomas Wolf

Infoboxes

Shouldn't there be something to distinguish the two infoboxes? I assume the top one is for the current bridge, and the lower one for its pre-war incarnation, but this isn't made clear. Are two infoboxes in fact necessary at all? Lancevortex (talk) 10:23, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
