I think Misplaced Pages needs to clarify Nazi Germany's totalitarian form of government. I believe the term "Hitlerite" should be used instead of "nazi", as "nazi" has lost its meaning in modern times. Something like Unitary totalitarian Hitlerist dictatorship. This is a community consensus request. 186.188.240.30 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Edit the name section to include the etymology for the term “Nazi”, added before the line which Hitler and the Nazis also referred to as the "Thousand-Year Reich". Should be something along the lines of “the term Nazi Germany in the English speaking world comes from a shortening of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the German name for the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, which led the country at the time. RidgelantRL (talk) 12:22, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I am unsure that is true, as the word seems to pre-date the rise of the national socialist party. Slatersteven (talk) 13:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Soviets should be mentioned in the first-paragraph synopsis

The thing is that the Western Allies (unfortunately) weren't able to reach Berlin before the Soviets (which were technically in cooperation with the Western Allies, but Stalin had other ideas for postwar Europe) got there first. 149.50.160.192 (talk) 13:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Add pronunciation example: Flame, not lame 💔 (Don't talk to me.) 15:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: I think the vast majority of people know how to pronounce the two words here, and per MOS:PRON, Pronunciation should be indicated sparingly, as parenthetical information disturbs the normal flow of the text and introduces clutter. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 19:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

in the into of the article it says "transforming it into a totalitarian dictatorship" with both words totalitarian and dictatorship redirecting to totalitarianism. there should be two separate links totalitarian which redirects to the page totalitarian, and dictatorship which redirects to the page dictatorship NossonLA (talk) 00:03, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Per WP:SOB, different links should not be placed next to each other. cyberdog958 03:39, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

but it shouldn't be "transforming it into a totalitarian dictatorship" because its redirecting to the wrong page

so it should either be "totalitarian dictatorship" or totalitarian dictatorship" NossonLA (talk) 01:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 8 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Nazi Germany. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I want to have the tophat show that it links to the Reich disambiguation page rather than looking like it just links to Reich. I wouldn't have a problem with this is the disambiguation page is just called "Reich", but since there is already a page named "Reich", the disambiguation page is known as "Reich (disambiguation)". Therefore, to show the actual link, I want the tophat to change from

{{redirect2|Drittes Reich|The Reich|the 1923 book|Das Dritte Reich{{!}}''Das Dritte Reich''||Reich (disambiguation){{!}}''Reich''}}

to

{{redirect2|Drittes Reich|The Reich|the 1923 book|Das Dritte Reich{{!}}''Das Dritte Reich''||Reich (disambiguation)}}

or

{{redirect2|Drittes Reich|The Reich|the 1923 book|Das Dritte Reich{{!}}''Das Dritte Reich''||Reich (disambiguation){{!}}''Reich'' (disambiguation)}}

which changes

to

or

respectively, to show what it actually links to. Altendo 00:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
