Talk:The Greens – The Green Alternative

message: Does the move from Austrian Green Party to The Greens-Green Alternative really make sense? The current title may be the real name of the party translated into English (!), but with the name of the country missing no one will be able to make head or tail of it. Also, not a single page is directly linked to it. <KF> 21:39, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
:The problems is see with The Greens-Green Alternative are:
:# Hardly anyone uses this translated name. Google gives me only 41 hits, but half of them - surprise! - are for a Spanish party.
:# This means this translated name is also not unique.
:# The name is not descriptive (Austria).
:# It doesn't look good (Greens-Green). For mimicking the original you need extra spaces (Greens - Green).
:For these reasons I'd rather prefer either:
:* Austrian Green Party or
:* Die Grünen - Die Grüne Alternative (Grüne, Greens, Green party, Austria)

replies: text: Done. Received an email from the press office of the Grünen and in english they are known as the "Austrian Green Party", and not some literal translation from the German name. Gryffindor 15:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Confer Confederation of The Greens, The Greens (France), Alliance '90/The Greens, Federation of the Greens, The Greens (Luxembourg), The Greens (Netherlands), Ecologist Party "The Greens". Either all of them lose the "The", or all retain it; I'm in favour of the latter version, as it's closer to the original name and is a literal translation. —Nightstallion (?) 15:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

text: In fact, they *also* refer to themselves as "DIE GRÜNEN" in English: see http://www.gruene.at/partei/party_profile/ I'm strongly in favour of keeping the article at its translated name. —Nightstallion (?) 13:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with nightstallion, this translated name is just strange, I would support either Green Party (Austria) or The Greens (Austria) or The Greens – The Green Alternative over the current title. C mon 15:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be strongly in favour of the full name translated, i.e. "The Greens – The Green Alternative". —Nightstallion (?) 21:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see how we should use a name that the party itself does not use in English. They call themselves "Austrian Green Party" in English, what gives us the idea to give them another name that they don't use? Gryffindor 19:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Green parties worldwide tend to be left wing, rather than ecological. I suspect that the Austrian Green Party is no exception. That would mean that the description of "centre-left" would be wrong, and "Left wing" or "Far Left" would be more accurate.Royalcourtier (talk) 03:53, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
