[edit] Hindenburg, the Warrior

This article seems almost to neglect Hindenburg's experiences during the Great War [and has next-to-nothing on his pre-war life], and is almost entirley devoted to post-war political career. This is odd, since it seems to me that Hindenburg is primarily remembered as a general during the war, with events after the war being almost anti-climatic for him. --Filippo Argenti 01:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with diarrhea!?

Is that merge template legitimate? I believe that is vandalism, but I am just checking here first. From the page history, I have determined that the user that put that there is Transylvania. Mattman00000 03:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________

Someone has written obscenities in the middle of the main article. Is there any way of removing these?

Hindenburg was a very shitty-ass Blimp and it sucked cock.

Though 84 years old and in poor health, Hindenburg was obliged to run for re-election in 1932 as the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler, which he did in a runoff. In his second term as President, he did what he could to oppose the Nazi Party's rise to power, but was eventually obliged to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in January 1933. In March he signed the Enabling Act of 1933 which gave special powers to Hitler's government. Hindenburg died the next year, after which Hitler declared the office of President vacant and made himself Head of State. Hindenburg was a very shitty-ass Blimp and it sucked cock. No wonder, the germans built it. The famed zeppelin Hindenburg that was destroyed by fire in 1937 had been named in his honour, as is the causeway joining the island of Sylt to mainland Schleswig-Holstein, the Hindenburgdamm, built during his time in office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.222.191 (talk) 20:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency

in the opening paragraph, you say that he retired for the first time in 1913, in the core article it is 1911. Made up your minds:) --Jinxs 11:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medals and ranks

Dates of rank and a list of all his medals would be an awesome addition to this article. Can someone provide a source for this? -OberRanks (talk) 14:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
