Weimar Germany cabinets

Hi Leroji –I've noticed your work on the info boxes and tables of ministers in the articles on the Weimar Germany cabinets and wanted to thank you for what you've done with them. There were some conspicuous holes, and you added some good features besides (like the legislature status bar). I especially like the fact that you' changed the end dates to include the caretaker periods. That definitely needed to be standardized.

I've (coincidentally) been working towards improving and standardizing the content of the articles for a while now, so you helped me out quite a bit. There are a two things I would have done differently in the info boxes, though, and I'd like to get your thoughts on them. Re caretaker periods – the majority of cabinets had one, and they were total non-events for the German governments and people, so I wonder if they're significant enough to include in the info box. I'm modifying the introductory paragraphs to always include the dates of caretaker periods along with the dates of formal resignation.

I would also drop the Roman numerals (Wirth I, Marx III, etc.) They're of no particular significance, so I would drop the one at the top ('Wirth I' doesn't add anything to 'First cabinet of Joseph Wirth'). I'd also use the 'First X cabinet…' format in the successor and predecessor fields, since that matches the articles' titles.

Let me know what you think. I'm willing to do the modifications as part of my content updates if you're OK with the ideas. I'm pretty much ready to go with most of the 20 articles. I've been holding back for now so we don't get in each other's way.

Thanks again, GHStPaulMN (talk) 01:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello there! Thank you very much for your comments. I'm glad I was able to help in some way. There are a couple of aspects (like the Roman numerals) that I only included -I must admit- because I saw them in the Federal Republic cabinet articles. I only intended to preserve some degree of continuity between them and the Weimar articles (although I totally get what you mean and agree).

Regarding the caretaker periods, at first I just thought "You're telling me Germany simply did not have a government at various points in time?" so I looked it up on both the German Wikipedia and the German Federal Archives, realizing that had, in fact, not been the case. Since the Bundesarchiv had records of cabinet meetings being held after resignation dates, caretaker governments must have been a thing. I also saw that modern cabinet articles included those dates, so I did. I'm glad you agree and support that.

In any case, I thank you for your efforts to improve the articles. I don't really have the time to help more in regards to writting, but at least I wanted to work on the info boxes. Again, thank you and sorry for such a long message! Leroji (talk) 01:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
