I don't know any Low Saxon, but the pronunciations strike me as unlikely, as they did s.o. who commented on my talk page. — kwami (talk) 04:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carnival in Germany, Switzerland and Austria → Carnival in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Alsace and Lorraine – Or something to that effect, per WP:PRECISION? PPEMES (talk) 18:47, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. By the same logic it should be Carnival in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Alsace and Lorraine, and Parts of the United States And Argentina With Heavy German-Speaking Catholic Immigration from 1850–1939. No need to call out every possible area that's Germanic-influenced. SnowFire (talk) 22:03, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – This article says nothing about Lorraine, and we already have Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht which claims to cover Alsace. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:24, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest changing image

While accurate according to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaval_des_Bolzes , the image of "Grand Rababou" on this particular entry doesn't appear entirely necessary or relevant and instead conveys unnecessary emphasis on anti-Semitic propaganda (defined as such by the photos caption "rabbi" and "boo" and also by this https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnaval_des_Bolzes entry, which translated states "The Rababou once symbolized the rababouêt, or wood thief... is guilty of all evils."). Instead, I'd suggest using a photo from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabian-Alemannic_Fastnacht to symbolize the variation in the carnivals in this part of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laraku05 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
