Almost done...[edit]

I'll add a section on the peace "negotiations". Whilst this relies (too) heavily on one source, this one secondary source basically summarizes a host of primary sources that are available online - the files of the Reichskanzlei. Theoretically, all these statements could be individually supported by a reference to a primary source (e.g. cabinet minutes, letters, telegrams). But I guess it makes more sense this way. I'll see if I can find some additional secondary sources, though.

The final section will be on the issue of signing the Treaty and the cabinet's resignation.Drow69 (talk) 13:58, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bell[edit]

I found contradictory info on whether he was minister of transport under Scheidemann or not. The balance of opinion seems to favour that he only took that post under Bauer in June 1919. I will therefore drop him as minister of transport...the ministry seems not to have existed until the summer of 1919. Drow69 (talk) 14:47, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

30 August 2023 update[edit]

Cabinets of Weimar Germany (#1 of 20)

The purpose of the updates is to:

Standardize info boxes.

- Time in office includes caretaker period after formal resignation.

- Not all of the parties that weren't in the ruling coalition are listed as opposition – some 'tolerated' the government (esp. the SPD), or there isn't enough information on them to make a judgment if they were in active opposition or not. In that case I left them out.

Standardize tables of cabinet members ('Portfolio' is the office, not the office holder. I kept them simple, without repeating 'Ministry of…')

Expand introductory paragraphs to summarize the whole article.

Include at least minimal information on the cabinet's actions while in office.

Reduce or eliminate use of German words and phrases (notably 'Reich' = German/y).

Standardize capitalization of 'minister' (see MOS biography Positions, offices, and occupational titles section) and ministry names (see MOS Capital letters Institutions section). GHStPaulMN (talk) 12:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
