About the title
[edit]Q: Why is this article called "War guilt question", when every other Wikipedia calls it the same thing, after the German word for it?
A: Because a careful search of books and other reliable sources in English, shows that the English phrase is the more common one in English sources. Sources generally do mention the German word from which the English calque is derived, but then they use the English expression, or after the first time, a shortened version of it ("the question", "the issue", etc.). There are some English sources that do use the German word throughout, but they are a minority.
Q: What about the capitalization? Why not, "War Guilt Question"?
A: Same as above. Mathglot (talk) 10:26, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- It also has other names in English, including: war guilt thesis, question of German guilt, question of German war guilt, and war guilt problem. But some are just elegant variation, and none are as common in English as "war guilt question", which started to appear almost immediately, for example in 1920,[1] and 1930.[2]

Section structure of foreign Featured articles
[edit]Two articles on foreign Wikipedias have "Featured article" status: the French article, and the German article. (Note that they have the same name; the French article borrowed the German word as the title, because that's what reliable sources in French do.) Details on the section structure of these two articles follows. Mathglot (talk) 00:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
The section structure of the French Featured Article fr:Kriegsschuldfrage with translated section headers can be viewed in its entirety at User:Mathglot/sandbox/War guilt question/French article sections. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:23, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Here is the section organization from rev 202268988 of the German Featured Article de:Kriesgsschuldfrage, translated into English. It can be viewed at User:Mathglot/sandbox/War guilt question/German article sections. Mathglot (talk) 03:25, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Erfüllungspolitik section deleted
[edit]I have deleted the Erfüllungspolitik section and some of the Gustav Stresemann section because they have all but no relationship to war guilt and are written so badly (or at least the French wiki article that they're translated from was) that they make no coherent sense. Erfüllungspolitik wasn't a blanket policy of "appeasement" as the writer of the article seemed to think. It was a focused policy implemented by Chancellor Joseph Wirth in response to the London Ultimatum on reparations (see here): "Erfüllung" means "fulfilment", not "appeasement". Germany did not in any way "acknowledge part of its responsibility for the war" by agreeing to pay as the London Ultimatum demanded. Wirth was trying to show the Allies that the payments were too high in order to force them to be lowered. That was it. GHStPaulMN (talk) 01:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
