[Wikipedia-l] German Wikipedia

[rose.parks at att.net]

Dear Jimmy,

It would seem that this question should go to deutsch-l,
or Andreas Flack at
sonic at arcormail.de 
who speaks both German and English well, and is the co 
ordinator of the German translation project. Or, 
perhaps, it has? It will take less than a minute to come 
up with an answer.

      
            As Ever,

                Ruth Ifcher
