Speedy deletion nomination of Federal volunteers service

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Federal volunteers service requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Bundesamt zur Korruptionsprävention und Korruptionsbekämpfung article

Hi, thanks for writing this.

I'm not sure fully translating the organisation's name is the best idea. The result is very long and probably anyone reading the article will be looking for the organisation by its German name. I think with a long name like Bundesamt zur Korruptionsprävention und Korruptionsbekämpfung there are a lot of translations possible so it's unlikely that people looking for the name by English translation will find the article. So I moved it to BAK (Austria) which I hope is a bit more likely to turn up on a google search. Let me know what you think. Blythwood (talk) 11:50, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hand and hitch-up services

Hi,

I am doing some research on the hand and hitch-up services, and I was wondering how and I am trying to get in touch with editors of this wikipedia page to have a conversation about it. I am interested in finding out how prevalent these services are, and where to find more information about them. Do you think you could help me?

Best,

Elena Polisci researcher (talk) 15:19, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

in general these services are not very prevalent and if, only in very small municipalities. Only in a few states in Germany and Austria it is legal by the respective state constitutions and the municipality regulations to draft local citizens for work for the community infrastructure. I found references only in German and if I found it, it was only the legal regulation and in some reports in online newsplattforms.

I will check, if I can get more references for you and will get back to you!

Best regards,

Vermehrt Vermehrt (talk) 16:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks that is very helpful! Do you think we could have a quick chat on zoom by any chance? Otherwise would you mind if I send you a couple more questions? I am trying to figure out how many people actually end up participating vs. how many people decide to pay the taxes. Polisci researcher (talk) 16:39, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, with pleasure. The next days will be busy, so it will be better to send the questions, pls. If there are still questions, we probably can do a zoom on weekend. Regarding how many people do paritcipate, I just do an estimate without evidences at the moment. Due to the fact, that it effects only a few of very small communities with an average inhabitants less than 1,000, I would say the numbers of participants is small. I will try to get an overview about the towns executing this mandatory service in Germany, in Austria there are only 31 of 2,093 (reference from 2005) municipalities executing it. Due to prescriptions on some websites, some mayors organize it like some kind of village festival, so it does not feel like being forced to work... Vermehrt (talk) 18:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's very helpful! Thank you for taking time to answer. If we could have a chat later down the line it would be greatly appreciated. To arrange the zoom you can find my email on my website https://elena-pr.github.io/ .

If you are too busy to virtually meet, here are some questions:

- Do you have an idea of how many people decide to work and how many decide to pay extra taxes?

- Are these municipalities in Austria concentrated in a specific region?

- How is the eligibility defined? Age? Gender?

- And do people have to comply to the conscription up to a certain age? E.g. after turning 65 you don’t have to do it anymore.

I understand you might not know the answer to this, but any hint/hunch would be extremely helpful!

Best,

Elena Polisci researcher (talk) 09:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elena,

very helpful regarding this topic was a link to a log/protocol of the Vorarlberg state parliament during a discussion regarding an application of two political parties to cancel the mandatory service (in 2005): [1]https://suche.vorarlberg.at/vlr/vlr_gov.nsf/0/E0A00FB5E7A7FA99C125717A00503549/$FILE/fromDocFile-A10521EA3FFAAF8565257146003AEB02.pdf

In this discussion one pro service argument was, that almost all obliged citizens do participate in this service, which usually takes place one or two days a year. Due to the fact, that it is executed in very small municipalities, I assume that there is some kind of social pressure to participate.

All municipalities are located in the state of Vorarlberg, there are following regions executing this mandatory service:

most municipalities executing this service: Bregenz Forest
some municipalities executing this service: Montafon
only one municipality in Vorarlberg Rhine Valley which is more like a small metropolitan area and has a high population density with about 250.000 residents.

About eligibility: I hope to find a good explanation: the regulations differ from municipality to municipality, as I understood from this protocoll unually the "head of a houshold" has to participate, one other municipalities all male citizens. This "head of a household" was usually a male person (husband and if so, father of the children), nowadays of course it can be anyone living in the house/apartment.

Age of participation: it seems, that the draft ends in most municipalities at the age of 65, but in this protocoll was mentionned as well, that a 88 year old woman has been drafted for this mandatory work.

I hope, this helps, please contact me for further questions!

Best regards! Vermehrt (talk) 10:59, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thank you very much! This is immensely helpful. I think this answers most of my questions. If you are curious/interested I could let you know if we end up writing and publishing a paper about it.

Wish you the best of luck with your projects,

yes, of course I am interested, please let me know!
