[edit] Title
The title should be changed to Students for a Democratic Society (1960s organization)Fairlane75 (talk) 21:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the present title choice was deliberate on my part. It was chosen to indicate the year the organization was founded. According to this article, the 1960s SDS first appeared in 1960, thus the "1960 organization" bit. Yes, it went on for some time longer than that, but it's sufficiently descriptive, just like how there's now another SDS, that was formed in 2006, and is marked as such. It also has lasted past its founding year. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Join sds.jpg
Image:Join sds.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Attribution section
Is this really necessary? Saying that the article includes text from an earlier version of the same article with a different title? The justification given is that it is necessary for GFDL compliance, but that seems a little absurd to me. I'll read through the GFDL when I have time later today, or, alternatively, if anybody wants to do something about this/explain this justification to me now... --superioridad (discusiĆ³n) 00:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- The proper attributions are already placed in more appropriate locations, as that "attribution" section is highly non-standard. Who on earth put that in there? SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] POV Problem
The article is written from the POV of an old SDSer. Needs a more objective tone and less editorial leading.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Any connection to German SDS (Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund)?
There was an organization in Germany at the same time and with pretty similar views and goals, also abbreviating to SDS, the Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund, which was the backbone of the German student movement. Was there any connection or is this just a coincidence? -- 212.63.43.180 (talk) 13:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
