Challenge - "Mountains of Germany"

Greetings, In my wanderings for Unreferenced articles, I found Category:Articles lacking sources from February 2016 with Hundreds of articles, all in need of at least one source. It would be great if several editors here can help improve these articles. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 14:59, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

ω Awaiting - Wondering if these should be PROD? without source to establish notability. JoeNMLC (talk) 12:47, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

I found several of these mountains and hills on Peakbagger, for instance Armesberg. Some others could be prodded indeed, like Auf der Baar (not to be confused with the region in southwestern Germany). Markussep ^Talk 14:21, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Markussep, Thanks for this info. Today I completed the category "B" section. In addition to Peakbagger, I sometimes found a decent Ref in the German article. Plus I also stumbled upon https://peakery.com/, a mapper site, published by Apperies, LLC (hoping it is a reliable source). Cheers, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:05, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Partly done - Currently at letter "H" in the alphabet and moving forward. JoeNMLC (talk) 14:36, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Partly done - Starting letter "M" today, with approximately 100 articles remaining. JoeNMLC (talk) 15:01, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Partly done - Starting letter "S" today, with approximately 65 articles remaining. JoeNMLC (talk) 16:20, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done - There are a small number of articles that remain unreferenced, so I added the "Notability, Geo" tag for those. Cheers! JoeNMLC (talk) 21:23, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Edgar Lissel

The article Edgar Lissel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced BLP, for 14 years, except for his own website. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Fails the relevant notability guidelines. Lacks significant coverage.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Search for sourcing?

Can someone fluent in German see if they can find any sourcing for Hans Krüger (pharmacist)? My skills are kind of bare bones and for a topic like this I am heavily reliant on Google Translate. I'm getting the impression that there may be more sourcing out there. It's kind of slow going because I have to stop and run a translation program, along with much of what I can access being paywalled to some extent like with this source that came up in a Google Books search. It seems like if more in-depth sourcing does exist, it's going to exist offline. This one mentions that he was a member of Bezeichnung Deutsche Apothekerschaft, but I don't know anything about that organization. I think it's part of ABDA, which doesn't look like it's on the level of a Royal Society. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Stefan Gradmann

The article Stefan Gradmann has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

Unsourced except for unreliable ELs

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bearian (talk) 01:33, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

can someone help me with reading blackletter?

Lotte Reiniger has reference with the title "Making sure you're not a bot"; I have been trying to replace all references with this title with their actual name. The reference points to this, which is a newspaper page from 1915. I can read individual words but I'm not sure I'd trust myself to search the entire page and confirm that it contains the info needed (and work out what the title= should be)...

Proposed deletion of Johann Christoph Fugger

The article Johann Christoph Fugger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as unreferenced for 9 years and for notability concerns for 10 months. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate, nor is the talk page helpful. Unsourced genealogy masquerading as a biography. A Google search reveals only passing mentions. Lacks significant coverage.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

Request for New Image of Ferry Porsche

Seeing how Ferry Porsche is within the scope of this project, I was writing to see whether its members would be willing to upload a free, high-quality image of said figure to Wikimedia Commons. Aside from a photo of him when he is little more than an adolescent, the only images available for Ferry Porsche on Commons are of rather poor quality. Additionally, if said image were also free, it could likewise be used on the Porsche–Piëch family which is also within the scope of this project. Therefore, making a new image available on Commons would be a significant contribution towards the quality of at least two pages of interest to this project. Thank you for your consideration.

Request for assistance on biographical article

Hello WP: Germany!

I recently copyedited Felicita Vestvali and have noticed that there is some speculation and a need for more sources. The article was previously a stub until recently, and most of the new information comes from a single source. Would any member of your wikiproject be willing to help with this article? I'm also sending this to a few other wikiprojects (Women's History/Poland/Musicians) so that it can be improved.

Best Regards, HarbingerOfEntropy (talk) 19:22, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for expanding the article! I've raised it to C-class. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 21:14, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

German-language book review sourcing

Does anybody have advice on finding German-language book reviews? I'm working on sourcing for a draft of The Frog in the Throat / Froschnacht by Markus Werner and haven't found anything accessible in ProQuest/Gale/EBSCO/JSTOR. I'm hoping to at the very least find a contemporary reliable source for its first publication in Switzerland in 1985. (Something that'd help for a DYK hook would be nice but by no means required.)
