Talk:Gottfried Feder

message: SINCE THERE IS NO OBVIOUS WAY TO START A NEW TOPIC, I AM INSERTING THIS NOTE HERE. 
It is a flat-out lie to claim that Gottfried Feder was an "economist" and that he was an 
"economic theoretician". There is no evidence that he ever studied economics, either at college or  "on his own". German historians nowadays agree that Fascist whining in the 1930s about the evils of finance capital was just a cover for anti-Semitism. Gottfried Feder was the top Nazi propagandist against the excessive power of banks. He was an engineer. He knew nothing about economics. His book “Gegen die Hochfinanz” [Opposing Powerful Finance] is merely a collection of stump speeches addressed to clueless yokels, in which he promised that once the powerful financiers had been vanquished, there would be no more interest charges, no more taxes, pie in the sky, etc. ad nauseam. In his book he provides no analysis and no data on Jewish finance or on finance in general, either in Germany or elsewhere. In this book he does not address economic issues at all. It was all just eyewash.
:I think we should call him a "German civil engineer and self-taught economist". Tadao Ando is called a self-taught architect, analogically, Feder was a self-taught economist. --

replies: text: Ando actually practices building design, and is recognized as a fellow architectualtizer by formally trained, legally licensed architects worldwide.  Feder was only seen as a real economist by cranks..i.e. nazis et al. Big difference. Anmccaff (talk) 15:53, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said on my talk page, after being asked; in relation to this bio, he was a civil engineer and became active in economic, racial (anti-semitic) and political affairs of Germany. The Nazi Party considered him an "economic expert". So attribution can be made there. He represented the NSDAP (in East Prussia) in the Reichstag from 1924 to 1936. Feder was state secretary in the Reich Economics Ministry from 1933 to 1934. And also Reich Commissioner for Housing for 1934 to 1935. He fell out of favor when Strasser did as Hitler needed the corporate and business leaders support and wanted to re-arm Germany. He lastly held a position as a professor at the Berlin Technical College in 1936. Kierzek (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Legacy? 

message: I question the statement that Remer's post-war neo-Nazi party "received financing from the Soviet Union[1] and worked with the Communist Party of Germany." This seems very unlikely, and the listed sourcing for this claim is marginal.
This is the second dubious statement regarding the USSR and major German/Nazi WWII leaders that I have seen in the past 24 hours. The other one is in the entry for July 20 conspirator Carl Friedrich Goerdeler concerning the allegedly left-wing leanings of coup leader Stauffenberg:
“Stauffenberg was an ‘Easterner’ who favoured making contacts with the underground KPD, and wished for a post-Nazi Germany to ally herself with the Soviet Union.”
Stauffenberg was a conservative German of clear aristocratic lineage—I’ve never heard, and very much doubt, that he was interested in an alliance with the USSR and the German Communist Party.
* Considering that after the war Israel's Mossad successfully recruited Nazis like Otto Skorzeny for various projects, it's really not that hard to believe.

message: "In 1950, East Germany invited Strasser to become a member of the National Front. Still, he declined, hoping that he would be permitted to return to Bavaria, which had been under US occupation until 1949."
The source for the invitation to move to the DDR is an obscure Canadian newspaper, and there's no East German or Russian source to back up their claim. Neither the German or Russian language wikipedia articles mention this claim at all. Why is it presented as fact when it's disputable if it even happened?

thread_title:  Native names 

message: I'm surprised to find a lack of some particular guidance here.
This naming convention does not seem to say what disambiguation term should be used to distinguish a member of clergy from people with other roles e.g., from an actor, artist, politician or musician. My understanding is that  is typical e.g., rather than  or  or  or . Is that correct? If so, this should be stated here explicitly.
Presumably, the analogous disambiguation term for a woman would be . However, there appear to be no article titles on Wikipedia that currently use that disambiguation term. I don't know whether that is because some other form is typically preferred in such cases or not.
What about ? Is it better to use that or ?
Moreover, Wikipedia tends to prefer to use generally applicable tags rather than more specific ones e.g.,  rather than  and  rather than , per WP:NCPDAB. Does that imply that a bishop should be referred to simply as  if that is sufficiently unambiguous?

Talk:Gyula Gömbös

message: I'm very concerned about edits made by 78.92.108.24. I'm no expert on Gömbös but these edits have a subtle appearance of being a POV defense or whitewashing of Gömbös.  I even find some of the edits subtly anti-Semitic in themselves.  The fact that these are the only edits made by an editor with no username or profile makes me even more suspicious.  I'm afraid I don't have time to pursue this further at the moment, but I at least wanted to call attention to these concerns in this Talk page.Hirschjoshua (talk) 04:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

It has been claimed, though not substantiated, that O'Duffy was Michael Collins's choice as his successor. However neither W. T. Cosgrave nor Richard Mulcahy viewed him as fit for national leadership.  It has also been suggested that Cosgrave and Mulcahy intended to remove him as Garda Commissioner had Cumann na nGaedheal won the 1932 general election. However Cumann na nGaedhael lost power in 1932 to Fianna Fáil under Éamon de Valera .

Talk:Giuseppe Bottai

message: Bottai has however a better image than most Fascist hierarchs, as his cultural policy was somewhat enlightened.  He encouraged avant-garde art, allowed a certain amount of criticism, and was responsible for the work of great architects such as Pierluigi Nervi.  He established the Biennale of Venice, dedicated to modern arts, but also encouraged the preservation and resurrection of many local traditions and festivals.  It is felt that it is largely thanks to him that Fascism had a much less destructive impact on Italian culture than the corresponding tyrannies had in Germany and Russia.  Nevertheless, this amounts at best to mitigation; Fascism still deadened and slowed the pulse of Italian culture, quite apart from the horror of the anti-Jewish laws, and it can clearly be seen that its end led, from Guareschi to Visconti, to an absolute explosion of artistic creativity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.151.84 (talk) 08:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

message: While that paragraph does show the source, it has not paraphrased what it said but has word-for-word plagiarized from that source. That is not acceptable. Also I will note that that source uses cliche stereotype language used towards Italians, including the cliche "flamboyance" claim because Italians have been identied with a cultural association with speech and behaviour deemed more passionate than "normal", the author notes how Balbo was "flamboyant". What is deemed flamboyant in one culture may not be deemed that way in another, the author is applying a cliche claim and it is an irrelevant and useless note.--70.55.10.162 (talk) 02:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

The National Archives of Japan says it's "Mazaki", for example (https://www.jacar.archives.go.jp/aj/meta/term/00000684), but "Masaki" gets more google hits in Japanese (though that's likely a result of the Japanese wikipedia page using the "Masaki" reading). When I wrote the current version of this article 10 years ago, I standardized on "Mazaki" because that's the reading used in Ben-Ami Shillony's book, the most significant English-language source used.
