Check
In the "Articles needing a little work to get to usable" table, what does "check" mean? I would also suggest "Get in" as an important thing to chart, since city articles must have "Get in" sections to be Usable. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:12, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I cannot see an easy way to scan for content in "Get in" but I do mention the fact of it being needed below the table. Yes what to use as a title for the last column is problematic. The "needs only" one are articles that have a listings in all sections (see, do, eat, sleep) but are still outline status. Either they have no or little Get in section or just need checking and status upgrading. The check cell in "has no" row are articles that have not listings at all. Could be empty articles or articles with listings that have not been formatted with the listings template. Was thinking maybe a text help on mouse over would help here. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:34, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Could the flag be removed?
The flag is just too nationalistic
 * It is a project about a nation so it will have a national slant to it. Same goes for the Indian and Brazilian expeditions and any other country projects that come along. --Traveler100 (talk) 16:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

The stalled effort on our coverage of Germany
I recall that there was an effort to get the coverage of Germany to a better level, particularly concerning the sub-regions of the Länder. However, that effort stalled sometime in the Northern Hemisphere summer, presumably due to many editors being on holidays. Now looking at bottom level regions of Germany like Unterfranken, I can't help but wonder: When is round two going to start? And what should we focus on?

 * Agree it is time to get back to this. I was a little shocked Aschaffenburg and Mespelbrunn did not have an entry so added the minimum. But as you say I have not yet finished documenting places I have visited since the summer around the world so taking some time getting back to Germany. Quite bad that there is no article for Schweinfurt and Miltenberg. --Traveler100 (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Here are some to does Germnay outline articles that are close to usable; needs eat; needs sleep --Traveler100 (talk) 14:41, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Create some stats Germany Expedition. Note if the links to the status article list hangs, wait 10 minutes, sometimes the catscan server hangs. --Traveler100 (talk) 22:12, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

What do ze Germans eat?
Now I have just had a look at WV:Germany Expedition. First of all the list was a bit outdated and second of all, there are apparently 119 city articles without an "eat" listing, 117 of which have content in sleep, see and do. Now there are about a hundred jokes about German cuisine that could be made now, but the point is that there are two or three simple ways to fix this. Look at this list, click on the article and its eat section, which will be empty or at least not contain a correctly formatted listing. Next you see whether the de-WV version has an eat listing and click the link, or you click the link to the municipality and/or tourism association which should have a list of restaurants. Once you are on the website of a restaurant, you can mine their data and put it into a listing field. In all but the most stubborn cases, this is a few minute's work and it makes the articles much more workable and dare I say usable. I admit more than a hundred articles are a tall order for a single person, but the more users that help in this task, the better. Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
