 * Looks like I had updated it five minutes before you wrote this. (Make sure you're looking at the current version of the page, not one cached in your browser.)


 * But that "somebody" could have been you, too. That's the fun of Wikipedia. And the article could still use some work... ProhibitOnions 11:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Religion
He is described as "Protestant". That term:
 * is a general one, covering a number of non-Catholic denominations
 * can also refer specifically to Lutheranism in German-speaking countries.

But this is English WP, so if he was Lutheran we should say that. If he belonged to another denomination, we should specify it. JackofOz 20:43, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * He was a member of the "Evangelical Church in the Rhineland" ("Evangelische Kirche im Rheinland"), a member church of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD). (see that page on the more generic meaning of "evangelisch" in German) It is a "United" (Lutheran/Reformed) church, not specifically a Lutheran one. Each member church of the EKD covers a certain geographic area, so some of the details are basically a consequence of his birthplace. Kellner 11:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Danke schön. I'll make the change.  JackofOz 13:43, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

It is misleading to claim that the term "Bruder Johannes" was used to ridicule Johannes Rau. The term was also frequently used by his supporters. So I suggest calling it just a nickname without speculating on the motives. --213.54.182.96 11:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
