{{SampleWikiProject}}
I have a question concerning the maptemplates by WikiProject German districts. They look quite similar to those maps used by Allesklar.com AG on their website meinestadt.de, e.g. that one for Saarland. So I would like to know what is the original source of these maps. Is this by pure chance? Does Allesklar.com AG use the maps created by Wikipedia? Or are the maps taken from Allesklar.com AG and may be copyrighted by them? If you have more information, thank you very much for answering my question!
- Sorry, its me again. Maybe it was my mistake not to insert my question at the bottom of the page but I was a bit confused about the auto-generated code for the entry (now) above. So, now I changed the position of my post and hope that someone sees it and is able to answer it. Or does nobody have an answer to this... er... summer holidays?
District vs. County vs. Borough
It seems that in many of the articles covering German Geography the term District is used instead of County (Kreis or Landkreis) as well as often times Borough (Stadtteil). I suggest we use the word County for Kreise or Landkreise , the word Borough for Stadtteile or Ortsteile, and the word District to mean other types of regional conconctions such as, for instance, Verwaltungsbezirke or Wahlbezirke.--Mmounties 16:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
