Can you explain why it is applied only to Germany? Someone did it by purpose or accidentally forget about Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden? Vide:

I am really confused although I may not understand why it was done in that way. Before you attack me, please try to explain me why I am not right because from my point of view wikivoyage is (terribly!) Germano-centric.1Arena1hu (talk) 22:43, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Because this article is about the Baltic Sea coast of Germany. Here's the breadcrumb trail: Europe > Central Europe > Germany > Northern Germany > Baltic Sea Coast. Also, see the beginning of the article: "The Baltic Sea Coast (Ostseeküste) of Germany is..." I believe the reason why there's such good coverage of Germany on this site is largely because the pioneers who started Wikivoyage were German-speakers. Nothing terrible about that; it just means we need better coverage of other areas, and I'm glad you're here to help somewhat in doing that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:07, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
And I think the article you're looking for is Baltic states. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm...No! Maybe not! There's also Cruising the Baltic Sea and Baltic Sea ferries, though. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:09, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

German article

[edit]

Hi! Oddly, there's no German article on this topic. It should be created at de:Deutsche Ostseeküste, adjacent to de:Deutsche Nordseeküste. While vice versa the North Sea Coast (Germany) article is lacking here. Funny stuff. If anyone's willing to help, I'll do it rightaway.

pictures

[edit]

I think this article could do with some pictures (there are some on wikimedia commons) how 'bout this one for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk_Cliffs_on_R%C3%BCgen I personally don't like the artist, but he is famous (for some reason) and he painted a lot of stuff along the german baltic coast...141.30.210.129 17:27, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sure, and/or insert good recent photos from Commons, as you mention. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:57, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
how about this one http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kap-Arkona-2007.jpg (Rügen) this one: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Obertrave_L%C3%BCbeck_328-33h.jpg or this one: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holstentor_03.jpg (both from Lübeck) or any in this category http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nature_of_Mecklenburg-Vorpommern141.30.210.129 18:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Those two look good to me, although the night photo is a bit pixelated. From the category, just pick one you like. You don't need a consensus to post a thumbnail. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:48, 19 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

The regions breakdown

[edit]

In "best" de-WP fashion, the region breakdown includes one non-article and does not actually break down the whole region into regions. I am not sure how to fix this, but I think it should not stay this way. Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
