Talk:Egon Krenz

Manslaughter?
From 18 October 1989 (assuming office) to 9 Nov. 1989 (when he allowed the wall was opened)? How many Germans were killed during this short period when climbing over the wall? Andries (talk) 13:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Exactly, zero.

Egon is a good man and should have been given a chance during Die Wende - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Für_unser_Land — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.163.16 (talk) 01:29, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Ethnic origins
What is Egon Krenz' ethnic background? Does this tie into his origins in Pomerania? He can't be German or Polish, so does anyone have reliable material to this effect? Of course, I knew many contemporaries who insulted him as a Communist Jew, but I'd like to have more scholarly evidence if anyone has any. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.210.36 (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Some Kashubian/Baltic Germans look surprisingly "exotic." Like Guenter Grass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Willy_Brandt_Guenther_Grass.jpg 69.171.160.155 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:05, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Highly opinionated and defamatory article
The article in its current form is basically borderline character assassination, especially compared to the tone used in the article in versions from previous years, and particularly alarming given that the subject is a living person. Lots of deliberate propaganda terms such as "regime", "dictatorship", etc in the voice of the encyclopedia also clearly violate the spirit of WP:NPOV. Laval (talk) 11:06, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
