Hi! Thanks for everything you've done on the "Left Party" page. One question: why did you remove the reference to the KPD in the list of predecessor parties? My intention in adding it was not to be POV: but legally, the Left Party is a successor of the KPD as it was reestablished in the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany in 1945 and later merged with the east-SPD to form the SED. So there's legal continuity there, and even the post-communist members of the party claim at least a sentimental connection with the Weimar Republic KPD: thus, their participation in the annual "Luxemburg-Liebknecht" demonstrations in Berlin every January, the fact that their national headquarters is the original KPD headquarters (Karl Liebknecht Haus) in Berlin, etc.

I'm not challenging this because I don't think it's an important enough a factoid for the reader, but just curious.

Thanks again for your contributions to the page. --langohio 16:44, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, it was nominally a merger of equals in 1946, so the SED was as much successor of the KPD as it was successor of the SPD. And both applies only to eastern Germany, as both the KPD and SPD continued to exist separately in western Germany after 1946. Rivarez 17:18, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Infobox

You need to settle down and stop edit warring. Tell me what you do not like about infoboxes? -- Netoholic @ 23:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

You need to settle down and stop edit warring. I have nothing against infoboxes per se. I have something against those infoboxes that provide no new information and just repeat what's already in the article text. Rivarez 00:20, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Netoholic, Rivarez is just following agreement on the page.. he just happened to be faster to find your edit than others. Your slow motion edit war is no better than a high speed one, as you refuse to participate in discussion, it just doesn't run afoul of the 3RR. Rest assured that had Rivarez not removed the infobox that there are at least a dozen others who would have, myself included. --Gmaxwell 22:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

3RR

You have been blocked for 24 hours for a 3RR violation on Sealand as per the reporting page. Sasquatcht|c 22:57, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Clearly you do not appreciate the 3RR. Some discussion at Talk:Sealand would be nice, by the way. 24ip | lolol 01:56, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate it, so long as it is equally applied. But O^O was not blocked for his violation, so it seems to be a dead letter. Admins think they don't have to enforce the rule "if they don't feel like it". Rivarez 02:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

'nother 3RR block for 24 hours -- (☺drini♫|☎) 03:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Add another one to that count. Please stop or else they will only get longer. However, I have aslo blocked O^O ths time on a 3RR since I am fairly suspicious that the IP used was also him. Sasquatcht|c 19:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Since you insist on using sock puppets, the block is extended to a week. Sasquatcht|c 22:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Game over, Wik

Did I say you'd be gone in 48 hours? Sorry, I meant 24. --Gene_poole 12:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
