Talk:Gerhard Schröder

message: I don't think it makes a lot of sense to reduce Schröder's chancellorship to Nord Stream. In Germany, he is primarily known for two things: Not participating in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and implementing the labor market reform "Agenda 2010".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.55.152 (talk) 20:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biggest achievement - Nord Stream? 

message: With "Hartz IV", Schröder has openly betrayed the guidelines and ideals of the SPD. He had also instigated a hunt against long-time unemployed together with Clement in the media. Like Clement, he was never prosecuted for slandering.

replies: text: These reforms and the "Schwarze Null"-fiscal policy weakened the social fabric of the German society and the employees' side in pay negotiations and the public infrastructure. That enabled the rise of far-right AfD and was co-responsible for the economic crises in the Euro-zone. But the current leader of the SPD faction in German federal parliament still praises these "reforms": SPD-Fraktionschef nimmt Altbundeskanzler Schröder in Schutz. --Myosci (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I have changed the lead from

TO 
... is a member of the board of the Russian state owned company Gazprom, he is also a retired German politician, consultant and lobbyist, who served as the chancellor of Germany from 1998 to 2005.....
This is NOT a disruptive edit. Unless your viewpoint is from the Kremlin. Its a fact, a highly relevant fact - his current role, and the role he is most known for throughout the world. 79.155.94.28 (talk) 17:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is most certainly a disruptive edit because it violates the MOS:LEADSENTENCE editing guideline. Schröder is most notable as a German politician. You are welcome to insert the Gazprom info further down. I will note that this is already stated as    in the :Gerhard Schröder#Foreign policy Relations with Russia section.

replies: text: This is correct.  The events discussed in the lead summary seem significant enough in the context of his life that that maybe a sentence summarising them is justified, with the full content placed in the article body.  Could somebody with more knowledge of German current affairs than I please review the content in the lead and see if it's suitable to be moved as is, or whether edits are required for completeness or NPOV? --23:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I would think so, yes. In the German press his wife's name is cited as "Kim Yo-Jong". 84.229.94.108 (talk) 84.229.94.108 (talk) 05:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kim So-Yeon 

message: Considering that he was Chancellor for 7 years, the lead should be expanded to reflect on that. As it currently stands there's nothing in the lead on what he actually did in office. Rousillon (talk) 01:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
