Change History
Moderators will move threads from "Checker requests" into this forum after a while when it has been decided that the challenge checker isn't possible for one or another reason. The threads should not be moved right away. The challenge owner should have a chance to adjust his requirements if that helps.

Thus, you could publish a challenge involving states ("Bundesländer", I believe is the German term) or counties ("Landkreis", I believe is the German term). Neighborhoods ("Stadtteile" as you refer to them) are too small an administrative level.

It is my understanding that districts/neighborhoods ("stadtteile") are too small an administrative level.
