Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Thanks for your help with File:Herzogenriedpark 068.jpg‎.

Would you, perhaps with User:Mbdortmund, rewrite the subject section to reflect the Herzogenriedpark DR discussion? The W.I.P.O translation obviously does not correctly bring out the subtleties correctly. Please also address the question of whether "Plätzen" means "places" or just the narrower term "plazas" in this context, as that has been an issue in the past.

Also, you said,

"In the context of (§59 UrhG), “outer view” means any parts visible from publicly accessible areas, without technical aids such as ladders or aeronautical vehicles."

Do you mean that literally? I don't mean to dispute it in the case of Herzogenriedpark, but "publicly accessible areas" would include the interiors of ordinary public buildings. In Britain, the interiors of publicly accessible buildings, including those that have an admission charge, are included in FOP. We had thought that in Germany such places were not FOP.
