Talk:Sebastian Kurz

Kinder Geld - STOP
Nicht mehr Kindergeld fúr slowakische oder auslandische Frauen. Die Slowakerinen haben genug Geld auch in der Slowakei, die lassen kleine Kindern zu Hause alleine und arbeiten als Pflegerinen in Osterreich. Sie brauchen das sicher nicht. Mehrere machen diese Arbeit nur fúr diese Kindergeld und Bonusse von Finanzamt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.237.234.228 (talk) 11:48, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Google's translation: No more child benefit for Slovak or foreign women. The Slovaks also have enough money in Slovakia, they leave small children alone at home and work as nurses in Austria. You certainly do not need that. Several do this work only for these child benefits and bonuses of tax office. I'm not sure what the request is. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:13, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no request. It's a rant against evil Slavic women who come to Austria to milk the place for welfare money. It's about as coherent and articulate as the Google translation makes it out to be. Kramler (talk) 16:13, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Danube Swabian grandma
Any reference on the ethnic background of his grandma? In the sources cites she is described as Hungarian, not German. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.107.72.134 (talk) 18:04, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Danube Swabian is a term that encompasses a relatively large group of peoples, including German-speaking Hungarians. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 23:09, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I was not looking for a definition, but a source for Kurz's grandma's ethnicity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.107.72.134 (talk) 20:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

The lead
It seems to me that the lad section is much too long, and contains lots of material that should be moved down to later sections. See Manual_of_Style/Lead_section.

Lifting the writing style in this article
I visited this article for the first time yesterday. A seriously interesting subject. However, I noticed a few phrases that felt odd. Not wrong, but not in line with the |Wikipedia Manual of Style. I understand we should be aiming for Plain |Plain English. Below are some phrases that feel a little awkward. And some suggested alternatives. If anyone has better ideas — feel free to suggest them! I'd like to see the article flow a little more naturally. The Little Platoon (talk) 20:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I can see you've been highly involved in this article - what are your thoughts on making the English a little more readable?The Little Platoon (talk) 21:10, 25 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Support. You didn't have to start a new talk page discussion for that. Your suggestions are just grammatical overhauls and not controversial, major content changes. I just ask you to avoid the use of semicolons as well as en and em dashes in the lead. Colonestarrice (talk) 02:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Understood will proceed along these lines.The Little Platoon (talk) 20:11, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Need material on COVID-19
The Kurz government is noteworthy for its strong and early response to COVID-19. I invite editors to make contributions on the topic. The Little Platoon (talk) 23:24, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Kurz corruption probe
I just created Kurz corruption probe as main article for the ongoing events. If anyone is interested in expanding the content, help would be appreciated! LenaAvrelia (talk) 20:22, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I commend your spirit, but I suggest you don't actually waste time on such things. This is the EN WP, nobody here cares about Austria and therefore it's very likely that nobody is going to assist. Colonestarrice (talk) 21:27, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Shadow (2021)
The section includes the following intro:

''Since Kurz' resignation as chancellor, news outlets, politicians, political analysts, and the general public have referred to him as a "shadow chancellor" who continues to be de facto head of government, although Kurz himself has disavowed that. As leader of the senior party of the governing coalition cabinet, Kurz remains the driving force when it comes to legislation; he indirectly retains control over the most important government ministries, as they are headed by his partisan appointees, who have continuously voiced their unwavering fidelity. As leader of the largest parliamentary group, Kurz can also introduce a motion of no confidence targeting individual members of cabinet or the entire cabinet at any time.''

Here present tense is used. Does it mean that he does still have this power? Or should these sentences be rewritten in past tense. Egeymi (talk) 17:03, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
