By late 2022, Germany was importing 55% of its gas, 34% of its oil, and 52% of its coal from Russia.[1]
It should be By late 2021..., and that's what's stated in the article from the Telegraph. Tolmount (talk) 18:00, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

- ... that Angela Merkel's grandfather (pictured) likely fought against Germany in World War I? Source: "Fachleute wie der polnische Historiker Wolodzimierz Boriodziej bestätigen dieser Zeitung nun, dass es damit nicht ausgeschlossen sei, dass auch Großvater Kazmierczak die Waffen gegen Deutschland erhoben haben könnte" from this article.

Improved to Good Article status by Actualcpscm (talk). Self-nominated at 11:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Angela Merkel; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- I'm not going to review this nomination as I was involved in the good article review but I think it was World War 1 not World War 2. http://blogs.bbk.ac.uk/research/2014/06/18/picturing-the-family-media-narrative-memory/ Llewee (talk) 11:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- That was a typo, fixed! Thanks :) Actualcpscm (talk) 11:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Very interesting fact indeed. Congrats on getting an article this big to GA status! Earwig is clear and there are no other concerns I can see so this is good to go.--NØ 18:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Actualcpscm: I wonder if the hook should include "former Chancellor of Germany" as a qualifier? Merkel was also the first female Chancellor of Germany. Seems there is much that is interesting about her. But this tidbit about her grandfather is also interesting. Bruxton (talk) 14:14, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Pro-Russian policy must be noted somewhere in the lede[edit]

Official website[edit]
I've updated the official website of Angela Merkel. During her active time as politician, she used https://www.angela-merkel.de/ but that site has now been blanked since at least 20 December 2021. As former chancellor of Germany she has a federally funded office which has an official website since June 2022: https://www.buero-bundeskanzlerin-ad.de/. This gets regularly updated with official statements, events, contact info etc. while the former website remains blanked. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe an archive of the old website could be included. JackTheSecond (talk) 11:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @JackTheSecond: Good point, I've updated the external links accordingly. --AFBorchert (talk) 15:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Name IPA wrong[edit]
The IPA doesn’t correspond to the linked audio file reading her name. Angila would be pronounced aŋˈɡɪːla, but Angela is aŋˈɡeːla.
