It is based on my opinion, but Nazi pic shows only General Immortus. So, what about proposing having a pic of either the actual Nazi flag or elsewhere Nazi-related shown in the comics.--Drgyen (talk) 03:27, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. Though I'm a bit hesitant to use a swastika. --Tupka217 09:04, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
There has been a Nazi Swastika whenever the Nazis show ups in the comics; don't forget about Captain Nazi for example. It's different from public TV where they had to censor the Swastika and replaced with something else, like the 'SS' symbol used in the JL episode "Savage Time".--Drgyen (talk) 09:24, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
I can totally agree with that, it's just that swastikas make me uncomfortable. --Tupka217 09:37, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
Eh, without the swastikas the Nazis wouldn't be easily identified that way. Blamed the Nazis for stealing the religious swastika and turning into one of history's symbols of evil.--Drgyen (talk) 10:16, August 19, 2013 (UTC)
("Reopening the discussion") Is it possible to change the main image for this one? I think it's the best picture on the subject of the ones I found here.--FabioEscorpiao (talk) 15:52, October 15, 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, punch them Nazis. --Tupka217 15:50, October 15, 2017 (UTC)
Yeah!--FabioEscorpiao (talk) 15:52, October 15, 2017 (UTC)

Reimagining[]

Since most of the pages that link here don't necessarily mean the Nazi Party, but generally World War II era German forces such as Reichswehr and Luftwaffe (who are not necessarily Nazis), would anyone mind if this was reformed into a page called "Third Reich", much along the lines of Imperial Japan? --Tupka217 15:59, August 26, 2015 (UTC)

I'm okay with this, but I also think it's a bit of a slippery slope, making distinctions like this that the layperson wouldn't necessarily pick up on or understand. - Hatebunny (talk) 16:18, August 26, 2015 (UTC)

Founding Date[]

"1939 Organization Debuts" appears in the "Categories" section, presumably based on that first appearance being in All-American Comics Vol 1 8, but the historical Nazi Party was founded in 1933. Is there a way to fix this without breaking stuff? Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 13:01, March 7, 2020 (UTC)

I added that category because it was the best I could find of a first comic appearance by cover date. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Makkat1 (talk • contribs).


By fix it, you mean make it show up as debuting in 1933 as it did in the real world? I think that would be a mistake. The category is for the comic debuts of organizations, not historical. Other groups we have would be way older. Think of the US Army or the Knights of the Round Table for example. Founding dates for those groups would create categories for hundreds of years before the introduction of comics. Kyletheobald (talk) 15:49, March 7, 2020 (UTC)

Okay.Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 16:39, March 7, 2020 (UTC)

Splitting Nazi Party and Neo-Nazis[]

I think Neo-Nazis should be separated into articles of their own. Sure they are inspired by and based on the ideology of Nazis, either fully or partially, but they're neither the same nor have the same structure nor as I said all of the. need to completely follow the ideology as in ethnic cleansing.

Not trying to sound apologetic for them, just pointing out that they're different organizations. Tagging Neo-Nazis as Nazi Party feels odd as they're not a real continuation of the old Nazis. MatthewOne (talk) 23:47, March 12, 2020 (UTC)

That sounds perfectly sensible. If the originals met the wannabees, they probably wouldn't get along. If there was one thing they were famous for, it was not getting along. But a whole new category for three villain groups, is maybe giving them more respect than they deserve. They really are only footnotes and copycats, after all.Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 00:12, March 13, 2020 (UTC)
They have been more than just footnotes sometimes. In the recent Harley Quinn comic they were the villain, there are many other stories as well. Organizations with little history and characters who get only mentioned can have pages, so why can't Neo-Nazis? MatthewOne (talk) 00:37, March 13, 2020 (UTC)
Three Neo-Nazi villain teams, Aryan Brigade, Axis America, and Fourth Reich, all do have pages. If there are more such groups or individuals, they should certainly also have pages. But a page clumping those teams/characters into a new category, one that's completely derivative of this other category, seems redundant, and also seems redundant.Stoop Davy Dave (talk) 04:41, March 13, 2020 (UTC)

Citation for what?[]

Is there some specific factoid that's disputed or that happened in a historically significant story or what the what? Is the whole page in question or does it just contain a question? If the latter then maybe place that tag next to the questionable thing. Huck Foley (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

The manual of style says everything should be cited, and I just think this is particularly important in articles that are strongly correlated with the real world. For example: a comic where a concentration camp appears that could be used as citation for the holocaust, or the appearance of a gulag as citation for the political repression in the Soviet Union (since I assume your question was for the three pages I tagged).
