Title of article

Will someone with more technical knowledge than me please change the title of this article to: "Political decorations of the NSDAP?" There is not now nor has there ever been any organization in German known as the "Nazi Party. This is as ludicrous as saying there was a "redneck party" or "Hillbilly party." The word nazi is a slang derogatory German word that has a similar meaning as redneck, hillbilly, hayseed or country bumpkin in English. It was first used by Germans to ridicule the NSDAP. English speaking journalists with a poor command of the German language misunderstood the usage and thought it was the name of the party whose only historically correct name was NSDAP. No membver of the NSDAP ever called themselves "nazis" as doing so was very derogatory. This would be similar to Republicans calling themselves the "Hillbilly Party." This is supposed to be an encyclopedia written in a scholarly manner. Lets honor that mission by writing articles in a scholarly manner, using correct terminology and only using slangs in their proper context. And if we ARE going to use the word nazi, lets remember that it is NOT a proper noun and therefore should NEVER be capitalized as though it were.
