Talk:Friedrich Adler (politician)

Untitled
It seems odd to describe Adler as an assassin in the first sentence of the article. This gives the impression that Adler was a professional assassin, or that it was an act he engaged in regularly throughout his life. If the idea is that the assassination he committed is his "claim to fame", then it certainly might bear mentioning in the first paragraph; however, to place it in a list of his occupations doesn't seem right to me. I've changed it, but I'm certainly no historian and if someone has cause to revert it, please feel free. -- TremorMilo (talk) 19:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

The title is totally absurd; this should be the Friedrich Adler (politician) page, as is in German language page. Carlotm (talk) 03:01, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree, this is completely misleading. Also, the characterisation of Adler as a "lobbyist" is not substantiated at all in the article itself. --Gleb Albert (talk) 21:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't "Friedrich Adler (socialist)" be better? It covers both his early notability as an assassin and his later notability as a leader of the Socialist International, without trying to tell the reader which is more important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.197.139.41 (talk) 01:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, the current name is undue emphasis on one act; the "socialist" qualification would be better. I'm inclined to be bold and make that change unless anyone objects. AllyD (talk) 10:36, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
