Shouldn't the title be italicized
editshould not the title be italicized, since the page is about a word. Other pages about words (see:You, Faggot (slang), I (pronoun), etc.) have their titles in italics, so shouldn't that be the case here as well?
Neither the article nor the talk page clarifies the term
editAfter reading both the article and the talk page, I had no idea what "tankie" meant. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 06:28, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- "Tankie" means "leftist I personally disagree with," and nothing more. I've seen anarchists and liberals who don't immediately accept NED dispatches at face value smeared with the term. NotNotableArticle (talk) 08:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- It refers to leftists who sympathise with / are apologists for authoritarian and totalitarian ML regimes. The article makes this clear. — Czello (music) 09:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
