[edit] Merging with Gau (German)

Great updates on this article. The article, however, is actually about the rank of Gauleiter not what an actual Gau is. The definition of a Gau, and a list of Gaus from Nazi Germany, should probably go over to the actual Gau article. I've placed a merge notice to that effect. -Husnock 23:39, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poor page

This is generally a very weak page IMO. It makes the Nazi-period Gauleiter sound like a boy scout troop with badges and club discussions. The Gauleiters were deeply corrupt, cruel individuals many of whom conducted a reign of terror and ruled with total power. I will work up more on it and would welcome other editor's contributions. I also have removed the link/reference to Belgian history which has little relevance to the Nazi German Gaus. MarkThomas 07:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link to Belgium page

I've looked right through the Belgian site link, which a user insists is relevant, and it isn't, so I've deleted it again. MarkThomas 12:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I am being forced to repeatedly delete this entirely bogus and irrelevant link and will continue to do so using popups from now on - this is justified as it is a case of vandalism. Any editor in doubt can check out the contrib history and discussions of Fastifex who has been mindlessly inserting bad links into pages for some considerable time. I will raise it as vandalism if this user does it again. Thanks. MarkThomas 14:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
