Colonial history of the city of CologneColonial history of Cologne – More concise title. It is obvious that Cologne is a city, so "the city of" is redundant. JIP | Talk 20:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC) Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 06:20, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:No such user, thanks for closing, but “Cologne in German colonial empire”? You’re not Russian are you? I can’t find an explanation in English articles but it definitely reads wrong. “Cologne in Germany” works, but it would be “Cologne in the German Empire” etc. I’m sure someone knows for sure. I’d ask User:Dicklyon. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:52, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, SmokeyJoe; I hesitated between two similar titles and, as it happens, ended up with a mishmash. Cologne in the German colonial empire has been actually proposed by Necrothesp so I'm moving it there. No such user (talk) 12:50, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
