(Is there really no discussion on this yet? Sorry, I'm just discovered this site and am not familiar with it yet.)
I just changed "are called Nazis" to a more clumsy wording, which may even sound as if I had any sympathies towards Nazis.
My point was that a serious encyclopedia should put more weight on official names. I therefore would advocate swapping the main entry from "Nazi Party" to "NSDAP". Sebastian
- Yes, absolutely, an encylopedia shouldn't adopt idiomatic names for entities that had proper legal names.
- Also, there are modern movements that call themselves 'Nazi Party' and those ought to be given space, as they are current (if obscure and despised). An example is the <-- probably not the best example, as it has a doctrine rather than a hate rant at its core - most Nazi Party outfits are just hate groups.
- "I hate Illinois Nazis" - the Blues Brothers
- Good point. So we should have one entity "Nazi", reading something like:
Abbreviation for national socialist. Originally a mocking abbreviation, it became widely used by opponents as well as some groups with similar idiologies.
- However, I would rather not include the link. This would be promoting them. Leaving it out is no censorship. Anyone can find it by searching the web.
