Talk:Council of the People's Deputies

Suffrage mention?
Hi, perhaps I'm wrong but I cannot find any historical source of women having the vote in Germany prior to this council's decree. Isn't the expansion of the vote to women an important enough historical moment to deserve at least a mention as such in this article? Ie., "By doing so, the council expanded political franchise to women for the first time in German history" or some such?

 * Excellent point. I found a RS which specifies the exact law establishing women's suffrage.Drow69 (talk) 14:42, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

"USPD" is used in the article. What is it?--85.104.54.249 (talk) 04:42, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Nice work. But there is some overlinking to the parties etc, all these are already wp-linked. The exact status of Ebert as chancellor is questionable. He "received" the office in an unconstitutional manner on 9 November from Max von Baden. Next day, the Council took over and there basically was no chancellor from then on. Scheidemann became head of government in February but was not chancellor. Under the Gesetz über die vorläufige Reichsgewalt there was no title for the position. It was referred to as "President of Ministers". The title "chancellor" only came back with the August 1919 Weimar Constitution.Drow69 (talk) 15:18, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
