Talk:Nationalization

POV removals

• 1982. "The Paris business of M&A advisory firm Rothschild was nationalized and renamed by the socialist government." was changed to "1982. The Paris business of M&A advisory firm Rothschild was nationalized and renamed."--Jerryseinfeld 01:41, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

François Mitterrand's Parti Socialiste was social democratic; social democracy is quite far removed from the popular view of "socialism". -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 01:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

But by their name they don't claim to be social democratic, but rather socialist, n'est-ce pas? Rlquall 12:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• "Government ownership / public ownership" was changed to just "Public ownership". Who are you trying to fool?--Jerryseinfeld 01:41, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The two links point to the same article. I removed the redundant link. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 01:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Spelling

I am very aware of the general Wikipedia policy to use American spellings for American topics and British spellings for UK/Commonwealth topics. But obviously this topic is neither specifically one or the other and changing spellings within the article looks ridiculous. Changing them all to the American-preferred ones is not an instance of American imperialism but rather making the article seem comparable to other encyclop(a)edia articles.
