TuRa Leipzig and "Lokomotive Leipzig"? edit

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

@JCam:I have reverted your edits, which linked "Lokomotive Leipzig" to "1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig". The reason is that I am doubtful that the text actually referes to "1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig".

The article says:

"The prewar identity of the club is rooted in the establishment of Britannia Leipzig in 1899 and its successor TuRa Leipzig. During the Soviet era the traditions of the club were continued in the East German teams BSG Chemie Leipzig and Lokomotive Leipzig before the emergence of FC Sachsen Leipzig following German reunification.[1]"

"Lokomotive Leipzig", could refer to SC Lokomotive Leipzig (1954-1963) or 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig (1966-1991). These are two separate clubs and should not be confused with each other. It is not clear if the text refers to the first or the second, but I don't think it is "1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig". Take a look at this map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/FC_Sachsen_Leipzig_grafische_Historie.png I do not have acess the source ("Enzyklopädie des deutschen Ligafußballs 7"), but I can't see any particularly strong connection between Tura Leipzig and 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig.

Unless we have access to the source, I suggest we avoid linking. (If you have access to the source, I will of course not oppose linking.)
