Well,
I am new in Wikipedia and just wanted to correct the appreviation of the German social democratic party which is SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, Social Democratic Party of Germany). Such (minor) mistakes might be omitted by always given the original language name of all organisations mentioned, just as I saw that for Chinese names also the Chinese characters are given (what I appreciate very much).

[edit] Name
What kind of name is Gysi actually? It sounds Hungarian to me. Is my assumption correct? Meursault2004 12:21, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
: gysi is jewish or eastgerman (-european)
[edit] Jewish Origin?
I read in the article: He is nominally of Jewish origin. What is meant with "nominally"? His father was nominally jew, his mother not, and he does not consider himself as a jew. If his mother would have been jewish, this sentence could make some sense, but not like this. -- Arne List 17:24, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Gysi looks like a Hungarian name, but Google doesn't turn up any Hungarian Gysis, only Germans. There is no such thing as a "Jewish name" unless it is a Hebrew name, which Gysi is not. And a person can't be of "nominally Jewish origin." If his mother is not Jewish then he is not Jewish. The most that can be said is that he is of Jewish descent on his father's side.
