Quia usus nominis "Laender" stupidus est, verbum "provincia" reparavi.

"Maxima res publica Germaniae" recensere

Contrary to what the text says, the map shows that this state is NOT the largest state of Germany. IacobusAmor 15:44, 1 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)Reply

NRW is the largest state in Germany - not from the area, but from the population! Martinvoll 01:39, 23 Februarii 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Monacum-Gladbacense" recensere

I don't buy this name that is attested nowhere else. It is also illogical: The old German name was simply "Gladbach" (attested as Gladbacum in Latin, see here). In 1888, in order to distinguish it from Bergisch-Gladbach, "München" was added, but not in reference to the city of Munich (München, Monacum) but simply because there were monks living in the area (The later shift to "Mönchengladbach" thus is a spelling correction because "monk" is "Mönch"). Thus the noun needs to be "Gladbacum" and "Mönchen-" is a qualifier, for which an adjective or a genitive can be considered in Latin. Having "Monacum" as a noun that is qualified by the adjective "Gladbacense" makes no sense. So, it could e.g. be Gladbacum Monachorum or something like this, but not the way it is now.

I've changed it to Gladbacum Monachorum for the time being. Any further insights remain welcome. Sigur (disputatio) 20:54, 10 Ianuarii 2019 (UTC)Reply
