Talk:Hjalmar Schacht

message: A schacht as a Dutch noun refers to a group of people within a student society.
I removed this part from the beginning since the article is not titled "schacht", nor was Hjalmar Schacht of Dutch origin or a member of a Dutch student society, nor is this the Dutch Wiktionary. --kudz75 01:19, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Schacht's economic policys have been attacked by Lyndon LaRouche as being along the lines of "Let us remove any obsticals thrown up by democratic republics which remain some how tied to the commonwelfare to ensure the stability of our industry". S.george

message: This sentence makes no sense: "He resigned as Minister of Economics and General Plenipotentiary in November 1937 at the request of the Minister of Economics, Göring, due to disagreements with Hitler and Göring over military spending, which he believed would cause inflation."  It says that either Schacht requested his own resignation or else Göring was the economics minister. Jhobson1 (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've run across two US sources (admittedly non-authoritative on this subject) that render the name "Schact."  I'm assuming this page must have better information on that score--does it?
[Indeed, I was schact to learn that not all sources agreed--and what in the world is a "squid cache," anyway?]

message: Under miscellany - Would the IQ be adjusted down because of his age?  If I give a test to a 5 year old, and he scores 100, and then I give the same test to a 50 yr old man, and he scores 100, one way or another, the 5 year old is going to get a higher score, no?  Of course, if I am wrong, maybe my own should be adjusted down.

message: The article said that many Nazi officials were given the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, but according to our own article on the subject that test wouldn't be released until after 1955 (after Nuremberg, of course).  Was this test available to the government prior to this date? --Bryan  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.106.237.249 (talk) 04:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

message: He might have encouraged Iranian government in using the name "Iran" in Western languages, but had nothing to do with inventing the word or its association with the country Iran, and this is misleading (see Iran (word) for the history of the word and its usage).

thread_title: Name of Iran

message: A book published by the Cambridge University Press writes the name as Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, and not as in the article.
Who is wrong, Cambridge or the Wikipedia ? There are several examples of both versions in the internet. But would Cambridge publish a book with the name of the protagonist reversed ? 
Experts, please do verify, I am not going to change on my own.
Hitler's Banker: Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht. By Weitz John. Boston: Little, Brown and Co. 1997. Pp. xii + 361.

message: Schacht was a freemason since 1906, when he joined the lodge "Urania zur Unsterblichkeit"(check the German Wikipedia, if you can't accept the truth).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.149.225.126 (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia isn't WP:RS for Wikipedia, even the German WP. Would you happen to have a 3rd party WP:RS source for this, and especially his lodge, because that would be a useful addition to the article. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I believe that the aspect ratio of the infobox image in this article is such that presented at the infobox's default value it is too large, the visual equivalent of SHOUTING.  I suggest that the current size is more appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: *I've raised a valid issue, which deserves a discussion, not hand-waving dismissal, especially since the advice given at the recent ANI discussion was to bring up objections to image sizes on the article talk page.  Well, here I am, and you're telling me just to make a change and not discuss it, which is what got me reported (undeservedly) to ANI in the first place.  Given that, you'll have to excuse me if I ignore your advice, well-meaning though I'm sure it was. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:37, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: * Don't be so obtuse.  My advice "fix the infobox" was to raise an appropriate discussion centred on , gain consensus centrally or our treatment of images on biographies, and keep them consistent across biographies, based on good usability and page design principles. In particular do not make one-by-one changes "according to the deserved status of the subject" and how much space you think they "deserve".  If you really think that the ANI discussion supported such chanages, then clearly you need to have this raised as ANI again. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:28, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: *An RfC is certain one method to use, article talk page discussion is another legitimate one.  Do you thin there's something wrong with starting discussions on talk pages about issues specific to those articles? Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:22, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: * Of course there is, when that means disrupting a real discussion in one place, in favour of repating the same action on multiple (and often unwatched) articles in a literal guerilla strategy. Which if one of them is unopposed, given your willingness to cite an ANI closure as nearly the opposite of what it actually said, you are then likely to claim as "justification" for repeating your action across other articles.  Are you really so desperate to get a second ANI filing over this change? Andy Dingley (talk) 18:49, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
