== poor article contradicts itself in multiple ways ==
* intro: "or more precisely High German" and table with "Language family ... High German" vs. ISO 639-3 in the talble: "nds – Low German"
*: Low German is not High German
* nativename in the table: "{{lang|de|Deutsch}}" vs. bar – Bavarian etc. in the table
*: in the various dialects like Bavarian the term for German is different, e.g. in ksh – Kölsch it's ''Dütsch'' (cp. [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/D%C3%BCtsch#Central_Franconian WT])
* WP speaks of "[[High German languages|High German language'''s''']]" (plural), yet this is only "[[German language]]" (singular). German is broader than High German, so it should be ''German language'''s''''', or German here is short for [[Standard German]] which already has a more proper article.

I am moving this here ''sic erat'' from a [[Template:Cleanup|cleanup hatnote]] posted by [[Special:Contributions/2003:DE:3702:B26D:879:1A08:8D8A:FC3|this anonymous user]]. [[User:Dylanvt|Dylanvt]] ([[User talk:Dylanvt|talk]]) 20:56, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
== Cluster ==
From the article:
:The [[Low Franconian languages|Low Franconian]] dialects [...] Nevertheless, topologically these dialects are structurally and phonologically far more similar to Dutch, than to German and form both the smallest and most divergent dialect cluster within the contemporary German language area.{{sfn|Niebaum|2011|p=98}}
:<references/>
:* {{cite book |last=Niebaum |first=Hermann |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eG0l63rBggsC |title=Einführung in die Dialektologie des Deutschen |date=2011 |publisher=Niemeyer |isbn=978-3-11-091654-6 |edition=2nd |location=Tübingen |language=de |trans-title=Introduction to the dialectology of German |chapter=Wege und Schwerpunkte der deutschen Dialektologie |trans-chapter=Ways and focuses of German dialectology }}
As for the source:
* That's not properly cited, as it lacks the other author Jürgen Macha and as the year or edition is wrong (1st 1999, 2nd 2006, 3rd 2014 - 2011 could only be a reprint or a re-release as e-book or something)
* Quoting from the 3rd ed. as here the text is (basically) the same and as this can still be viewed online:<br/>Hermann Niebaum, Jürgen Macha, ''Einführung in die Dialektologie des Deutschen'', 3rd ed., 2014, p. 104 ([https://books.google.com/books?id=gSjoBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA104])): "Auf der Karte sind ebenfalls drei Hauptgebiete, erkennbar, die sich, wie Nerbonne/Siedle (2005:[...]) festellen, „im Wesentlichen mit den Verteilungen des Nieder-, Ostmittel- und Oberdeutschen (Cluster 1, 4 und 5) nach traditioneller Einteilung decken, sowie ein heterogenes Gebiet im Westen, das in etwa Ripuarisch (Cluster 3) und Niederrheinisch-Westmünderländisch (Cluster 2) entspricht.“
Thus:
* The source doesn't state that Low Franconian is the smallest and most divergent cluster. It's stating that ''Ripuarisch + Niederrheinisch-Westmünsterländisch'' form a heterogeneous area. So both the dialect(s) and the [[Comparison (grammar)|degree of comparison]] (superlative vs. positive) aren't sourced.
* Article stated: "within the contemporary German language area". There's a difference between "in Germany" and "in the German language area". The German language area also comprehends Austria and Switzerland. As the source only considered Germany, the wording in the article wasn't correct.

== Germanics ==
The German article on the Germanics https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanen says, that the concept can be defined historically outside the linguistic sphere. [[User:Sarcelles|Sarcelles]] ([[User talk:Sarcelles|talk]]) 19:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
::One problem here is that "Germanics" is simply not a term found in the English-language literature, so arguing that there's something wrong with it is entirely beside the point. --[[User:Pfold|Pfold]] ([[User talk:Pfold|talk]]) 08:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
:The word "Germanics" doesn't appear in the article, so why are you discussing this here? [[User:Largoplazo|Largoplazo]] ([[User talk:Largoplazo|talk]]) 09:56, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
::12 pages link to [[Germanics]], a redirect to [[German peoples]].
::Maybe we should discuss this on another talk page. [[User:Sarcelles|Sarcelles]] ([[User talk:Sarcelles|talk]]) 04:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
