[edit] Germans
I've for long (a year, actually) been itched by the way Wikipedia-links are done with often sloppy distinctions between nationality, citizenship and ethnicity (with regard to persons) and also between nations and countries. This is particularly obvious in the case of people or entities that are denoted as German. A link to the Federal Republic of Germany is often outright unhistorical and wrong, but this has until now been the most usual.
Therefore I'm considering an article on Germans, which I've started at User:Ruhrjung/Germans. I would wish to avoid lots of edit wars. In particular, I would not wish to see the current disputes over German-Polish matters automatically extend also to this article, why I kindly ask you for comments now, in advance, in order to try to find wordings acceptable to as many as possible of concerned wikipedians.
I look forward to your comments at User talk:Ruhrjung/Germans.

[edit] Adultery
Adultery is defined in the wiki as: generally defined as consensual sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than their lawful spouse. So there was adultery in Klum's life. No moral judgement, no POV, just a statement of a fact.--Klum 17:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I know that, but the marriage with Ric Pipino was already divorced when she had relationships with the other men. As there was no spouse, there was no adultery. --Chrysalis 18:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well it depends on the techicalities of the definition. Many consider that adultery includes any sex relationship with a person other than the lawful spouse, including for divorcees and singles. To be precise, I will replace adultery with fornication.--Klum 18:23, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

- The replacement of "adultery" with "fornication" does not really solve the problem IMHO. Do you consider any consensual sexual relationship between two non-married adults of different sex as "fornication" ("Unzucht" in German, if you understand German)? This has long been abolished as a punishable crime (IIRC) - and morality is always a POV. I think this is a pejorative term which insults Ms. Klum and therefore consider it non-neutral. But I'm not really interested in an edit war, so I'll leave it at that. Maybe someone finds a compromise for that. Just my $0.02. --Chrysalis 18:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Typo in X3
Thanks for that. I tend to type rather fast and don't really proof it. Bignole 00:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
