Improving this article

I'm a basic user of Wikipedia and thus do not have the awesome skills required to know how to improve this article. I appreciate all the help individuals have put forth in helping contribute/reorganize/categorize/make better the information on this subject. What further information can be added or changes to the article be done to overall improve it? I appreciate any and all respectable input. Kargin (talk) 20:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

rail travel?

How does one travel by rail from Hamburg to Hull? Seems impossible to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.198.72.239 (talk) 22:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, found an updated reference to the emigration from Germany in Johann Kilian: Pastor... by George Nielsen which states they left Bautzen on rail. Will update with appropriate quotation and reference once it is in front of me.≤Kargin (talk) 07:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Education?

this is very very confusing this dosent tell u about the education —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.235.174.133 (talk) 19:24, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you want to know about education? Nowadays, it's no different for the Wends of Texas than for anybody else in Texas. When they first arrived, it was probably typical 19th-century education (homeschooling, one-room schoolhouse, that sort of thing). —Angr (talk) 15:23, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Texas Tribune article

The Texas Tribune has published an article providing further insight into the Wendish community at Joys of Being Wendish, Festival and All. Fortguy (talk) 17:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial tone

I removed the italicized text, which is phrasing more appropriate for a personal essay than an encyclopedia entry:

The original church bell, having been brought from Lusatia and since replaced in the St. Paul Lutheran Church's bell tower now rests at Concordia University Texas..as a testament to these founding Texas Lutherans' desire and motivation for continuing their faith even so far from home.
