Talk:Politics of Germany

message: Seems like this should at least start off with Bismarck. I'm trying to find who who the cancellers were before Hitler, and haven't yet found the magic prompt that unlocks that information. 2601:600:9080:22A0:C8A7:8FEC:357F:79F5 (talk) 08:04, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Weimar Republic was the state that preceded Nazi Germany. On that page you can trace Germany's history back at the bottom of the info box. I'll put it in see also. Bismarck was the first Chancellor of Germany, if you go to his page and go to Chancellor in the info box, you can click on the person that succeeded him and so forth Alexanderkowal (talk) 08:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Politics of Germany begins in 1949? 

message: @Alexanderkowal I think your section on the legacy of Naziism is a valuable addition, as it still has considerable impact on German politics. Unfortunately, you seem to have written on Denazification entirely, without any reference to current German politics. It's also quite long, repeating what could have been referred to in an {See also}, and in quite a prominent position in the article, sectioned relatively high up.

replies: text: @JackTheSecond yeah I'm going to add to it. It might be worth slimming down the denazification paragraphs, I just thought it gave valuable context for the concept of German collective guilt, which is what the section is going to be about Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to guide your work a bit further: The section, in its current state, is already longer than almost anything but the foreign policy section. JackTheSecond (talk) 11:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @JackTheSecond it's shorter than all the sections other than ‘constitution’? Regardless, I'll trim it down Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

text: @JackTheSecond I've put it under history section. Do you still feel it needs to be trimmed down? Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

text: @JackTheSecond why did you revert my edit? Really odd considering we are already discussing it here Alexanderkowal (talk) 13:04, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Because you asked for a reevaluation before doing anything. Also, it doesn't belong into the chronologically organised section. JackTheSecond (talk) 13:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @JackTheSecond when did I ask for a re-evaluation? It belongs in the history section, it is clear that it is not part of the chronology Alexanderkowal (talk) 13:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: When you wrote  you asked for another look. You seem to be trying to write something longer than fits the article. Maybe just create Legacy of Naziism in Germany. Maybe Culture of Remembrance is useful to you in that regard, also. JackTheSecond (talk) 14:14, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: @JackTheSecond I asked for your opinion, not for you to delete it lol. Thank you for the recommendations, I'll use them in adding to it. It's probably only going to be two or three more decently sized paragraphs, but I will probably cut out some of the denazification paragraph. At the moment it does read quite brutish so some of it definitely needs to be rephrased. Alexanderkowal (talk) 17:04, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
