[edit] German Communist Party

Hi Luxem,

You recently moved the article German Communist Party to Communist Party of Germany (1968). I am going to revert that move, because that's just not the name of the party. It is called German Communist Party and not Communist Party of Germany. That's why it's abbreviated DKP and not KPD. The founders of the DKP refrained from naming their party KPD intentionally in order to avoid being banned.--Carabinieri^T_T^a_a^l_l^k_k 14:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

If a reader, who knows a bit about the history of the German left, will be especially confused if he/she sees an organization everyone but Wikipedia calls the "German Communist Party". Further, which name is used is very important. Because the "Communist Party of Germany" is banned but the "German Communist Party" is not. That's why the former is campaigning for an end of the ban of the latter.--Carabinieri^T_T^a_a^l_l^k_k 19:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Johan Deprez

Yes, I did inventigate the article before removing the speedy tag and replacing it with a notability tag. Thanks. Zsinj^Talk 17:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the gallery of tags (with the exception of the AFD notice) and replaced them with the notability one. As this is the key issue, it should be addressed first. Why not start a to-do on the talk page? Zsinj^Talk 18:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
