Consequences of the Assassination Attempt[edit]

There is an ongoing discussion within Germany right now about whether or not Schäuble is suffering from PTSD and should be considered as mentally ill himself. He is showing symtoms of paranoia and PTSD is a very common result in victims off assassination attempts. Some text to this should possibly be under the Consequences header (in proper NPOV wording).

Some Sources (in german):

Apart from the fact that I never heard of this before ... (Sorry, I'm not an English Native speaker): Should Wolfgang Schäuble (and Oskar Lafontaine) be in the *Assassinated* German politicians category? They both survived the assassination attempt. 77.1.234.48 (talk) 10:57, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Many ministers in the opposition criticized his proposal"[edit]

Are there ministers in the opposition? 109.65.6.28 (talk) 05:56, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No - at federal level.-- Dewritech (talk) 10:28, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous or meaningless sentence in "Foreign Policy" section.[edit]

"Schäuble accused Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of lacking an appropriate historical conscience, because he accepted alleged human rights violations by the Russian Government without criticism."

This sentence is ambiguous or meaningless. Somebody should figure out what the writer is trying to say and rewrite the sentence accordingly. ---Dagme (talk) 05:32, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welche Worte gelten denn nun, Herr Bundesfinanzminister Schäuble der Bundesregierung Frau Merkel?[edit]

"Wir werden am Freitag ankuendigen, dass Griechenland und die naechsten Generationen 105 Milliarden Euro Schuldenlast loswerden" Finanzminister Evangelos Venizelos Quelle: Sueddeutsche.de 8. Maerz 2012
"Die Bundesregierung Entscheidung liegt bei Griechenland" "Wir brauchen nicht in erster Linie eine Bitte Griechenlands, das Programm zu verlaengern, sondern das Entscheidende ist, dass Griechenland klare, belastbare, glaubwuerdige commitments abgeben muss, dass Griechenland die Absicht hat - wenn nicht bis Ende Februar, dann in einer Zeit ueber die man reden kann - das Programm zu erfuellen" "Eine Verlaengerung des Programm macht nur Sinn, wenn es Absicht ist, das Programm auch zu erfuellen" Quelle: bundesregierung.de 19.02.2015

can we delete this pointless rant? Wefa (talk) 00:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Senior administrative officer ??[edit]

That seems to be a rather incorrect description. Schäuble was Regierungsrat, which is an entry level position (nothing senior) in the upper career track.

Basically, he probably joined as Regierungsrat z.A. and in due time got accepted into full public service (Beamtenverhältnis), which is not considered a promotion in Rank. Wefa (talk) 00:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CDU mondey scandal[edit]

Are we hiding something? From previous versions and german version the responsibility of Schauble with CDU money scandal and his confession is clear and easy to see. When reading the current English version it looks like someone doesn't want this to be clear. When a politician confesses something like Schauble confessed, people are not supposed to read between the lines in order to know about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.235.154.111 (talk) 11:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of objectivity[edit]

Geithner's testimony provided further evidence that Schäuble had never been negotiating in good faith with various Greek governments.

It is not the task of a wikipedia article to judge whether something is evidence or not. This sentence should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.134.248.214 (talk) 17:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section[edit]

@Grimes2: Am I right in guessing that the reason you commented out big, referenced chunks of this section was because it was the quickest way to address the neutrality concerns about that section, which were keeping it from being eligible for linking from Recent Deaths on the Main Page because the template is orange?

If so, don't you think this is a bit of an ironic solution? Resolving neutrality concerns by simply removing half of the criticism of the subject? I would say we have a bigger neutrality issue now than when we started. Also, I don't think this actually addressed the template's complaint, which seems to be having a Criticism section at all (we still do).

That being said...I'm not really sure what's up with this template. The page it links to to justify itself is part of an essay and not (AFAIK) policy. So I don't see how this possibly justifies an orange maintenance tag. There were attempts to delete the tag for exactly this reason way back in 2007 and 2011 (before there was a color system) that both ended in no consensus. There's been no discussion on its talk page since, and it's used in a suspiciously-low (considering how common Criticism sections still are) 309 pages. I think it's highly questionable whether this should exist as a tag at all, and if it does, it should definitely be yellow and not orange.

I'm going to start a discussion about that on its talk page. In the meantime, what do you think about just uncommenting those sections and leaving the template removed? (I think we're also fine removing the recency bias tag - from the timing, that seems to have been about the Greece section, which you and others have substantially reworked since.) -Elmer Clark (talk) 18:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think the hack of Schäuble's website is notable? Grimes2 (talk) 18:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
