Divided Germany
I have always been instructed to use parallel construction when referring to divided Germany, i.e. take your pick: West Germany/East Germany, FDR/GDR or else the German language  BRD / DDR or Bundesrepublik Deutschland/Deutsche Demokratische Republik —but don't mix them. You reverted me where I corrected the construction "West Germany/DDR". Just wondering if that was caught up in your mass revert or if you have some good reason for the difference.

 * Hmm, forgot to answer this. No, no special reason, just what we used to call those places when we talked about them, and thus how I think of them today; and "less is more". Does it matter? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 02:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm reviewing a bunch of GANs for the GA cup, I suppose I'm getting a bit nitpicky, but would you object if I made the construction parallel? (I did, but you reverted it, so BRD time).  Montanabw (talk)  07:16, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I made a change, though I don't really accept the reasoning. Language usage is not so logical or consistent as we might wish. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:25, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
