Thanks for the reverts! The editor in Brazil who keeps changing IPs and claiming people have died in BLPs is annoying, I appreciate you cleaning up their edits today. Schazjmd(talk)19:44, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
VENCA isn't Eleven's biological father. Her biological father is mentioned in a previous book, and is named as "Andrew Rich" (even if Andrew Rich isn't canon, VECNA isn't her father at all, whatsoever and no where in the show did they ever allude to this. 2A00:23C6:4B42:F301:F80D:2E37:D473:1013 (talk) 21:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you doing this? This is ridiculous. German is neither an official nor a widely spoken language in the city. We do not add the names of cities in foreign languages, just because other countries once ruled over them, just as with Wrocław, Poznań, Kraków or Prague there are no German names added in this way, with Warsaw or Vilnius there are no Russian ones, with Bratislava there is no Hungarian one, with Cologne there is no French or Latin Roman one, etc. Marcin 303 (talk) 08:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike Warsaw or Kraków, Szczecin had been historically German-speaking, so I think that the infobox should reflect that. We also cite the French names for Saarbrücken and Mainz, although it's not an official language there, and although the relevance is more unclear in those cases.

German names are added in infoboxes for Polish localities, only if German is a recognized minority language. Otherwise, by your logic, German names should be added for locations in half of Poland given the former German rule. Various cities had various majorities at different times, such as Vilnius or Lviv Polish, Szczecin German, Tbilisi Armenian, etc., and it's a slippery slope if we were to consistently put all the names this way, especially given the threats of nationalisms whose effects can be seen, for example, in Ukraine today. Plus the name in the infobox was only added recently to the article. Previously without the German name, it was kept in line with other locations in Poland and Central Europe. Also, other historical names are already mentioned in the article. Marcin 303 (talk) 14:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
