Divided Germany

I have always been instructed to use parallel construction when referring to divided Germany, i.e. take your pick: West Germany/East Germany, FDR/GDR or else the German language BRD / DDR or Bundesrepublik Deutschland/Deutsche Demokratische Republik —but don't mix them. You reverted me where I corrected the construction "West Germany/DDR". Just wondering if that was caught up in your mass revert or if you have some good reason for the difference.

Hmm, forgot to answer this. No, no special reason, just what we used to call those places when we talked about them, and thus how I think of them today; and "less is more". Does it matter? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 02:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm reviewing a bunch of GANs for the GA cup, I suppose I'm getting a bit nitpicky, but would you object if I made the construction parallel? (I did, but you reverted it, so BRD time). Montanabw^(talk) 07:16, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

I made a change, though I don't really accept the reasoning. Language usage is not so logical or consistent as we might wish. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:25, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
