Germany[edit]

I see that you are changing references to "West Germany" and "East Germany" to "Germany" on the grounds that "there is no West or East Germany any more". However, policy here is to record the situation as it was at the time. For example, when Heidi Klum was born, in 1973, she was born in West Germany, not the unified country that did not then exist. Her birth is therefore noted as having taken place in West Germany. I suggest that you ask on the talk pages concerned before doing any more of these changes as they will all be reverted and you will have wasted your time.

Coup d'etat[edit]

There is no need to replace this expression with an English phrase. This is an accepted loan from the French, often used as shorthand for the overthrow of a Government, usually from within. Coup d'etat even has its own article. Britmax (talk) 09:13, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. While replacing "en route" with "along the way" is probably justified, not all "foreign words" should be replaced. English has a long and colorful history of borrowing words from other languages when they're useful or more expressive than the available native words, so please take care in your edits. In particular "coup" is much better than "overthrow", which is not actually a word that stands alone well, without "of the government". Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
