Hello and welcome to BambooWeb!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
The history section of country articles is thought to highlight the most important aspects sumarized in a couple of paragraphs (ideally four or five paragraphs of modest length). For most countries, at least for the better known, there are specific articles on history, linked to by the phrase Main article: History of Germany right below the headline. This is outlined in BambooWeb:WikiProject Countries.
In principle, it's our objective that the history section of the country article is a well balanced summary of the history article, but this is a policy that we not always have energy to live up to. Tonight, I made an effort to shorten the history section, in order to make the article come closer to this ideal.
I hope you can continue the work to shorten the history section of the main article on Germany!
