Talk:Gregor Gysi

message: What kind of name is Gysi actually? It sounds Hungarian to me. Is my assumption correct? Meursault2004 12:21, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: Is it Gysi or LaFontaine? Both articles (Gregor Gysi and Oskar Lafontaine have this tag at the bottom as the current Chairman. And also if I may say that Gregor Gysi is the man! I wish we have a left leader like him in the U.S.
:I believe they have some sort of co-leadership arrangement, in order to have both sides of the pre-merger party represented (Gysi from the Eastern-heavy PDS and Lafontaine from the Western-heavy WASG). Gysi seems to more often be described specifically as the parliamentary floor leader, though. --Delirium (talk) 19:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Chairman of the parliamentary group Left Party

message: Incorrectly given as the German Democratic Republic. The German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik - DDR) was not founded until 7 October 1949.
Gysi was born in 1948 in the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany.Intermax (talk) 22:14, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I removed the "Dr." from Gysi's name at the very start of the article.  Gysi may have earned an academic doctorate, but in English "Dr." is a title and not part of one's name.  (I know it's different in German, where the "Dr." can be appended to one's name for use in official documentation.)  Moreover, in English, generally speaking, only physicians are known socially or informally as "Dr.", e.g. Dr. Livingstone.  Gysi has a doctorate in law.

replies: text:  In Germany the Dr. becomes part of the name. It's like having another given name and your signature is not valid without the Dr. The complete version is what one wants, i.e. Dr. jur. for a doctor of law, Dr. med. for a doctor of medicine, and in my father's case it was Dr. rer. nat. but I don't know how to translate that. My late father was a doctor of physics in Germany. A Dr. title can be revoked if you are a convicted criminal. After what I experienced through the Kohl-Regime, his Dr. should have been revoked but the system does not work like that any more. Doctores among themselves drop that title and it is bad form to remind anyone that you want to be addressed as Dr.; Kohl once rebuked a journalist for not addressing him with the Dr. and had my father been alive he would have said 'just shows he is a social climber'. In the Bundestag speech December 2015, it says 'Dr. Gregor Gysi' on the sign, as it is part of his name. I came a across a Dr. Tom Smith, a university lecturer specialising in Asian studies; in the old money that would have been Tom Smith, PhD. Maybe in English it should read "Gregor Gysi, Dr. jur.'There is no straightforward solution when cultures are different. 2001:8003:A0B9:EF00:A4F2:26BA:2474:37BF (talk) 23:48, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I am confused why this in the opening paragraph of the English version for Gregor Gysi:
> He has strongly denied allegations that he used to help the Stasi – the East German secret police.
This doesn't exist in the German version. It is also a bit strange, as this would be well-documented if he was a "helper of the Stasi" (whatever that means). This standard of clarifying their relationship to the Stasi doesn't appear to exist for other East German politicians who were politically active in the DDR.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.251.253 (talk) 06:55, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
