Talk:Gottbegnadeten list

Translation

Isn’t god-given a better translation than the trendy (god-)gifted? tharsaile (talk) 14:43, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

@TharsaileI don't know if god-gifted is trendy(ugly, yes), but I doubt that god-given is much better. It leaves open who gave what to whom? The idea was that these artist had a talent that was given to them (by God), not that God gave those artists (to the Nazis or the German people). Is divinely-inspired or -blessed is a possibility?

I’m sorry I saw this so late. I think I just have a problem with gift as a verb where give is fine, but I generally only edit typos on wikipedia, as anything else I do tends to just get reverted by stubborn editors. :-) tharsaile (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Wilhelm Furtwängler

Where is there an asterisk after Wilhelm Furtwängler? Esprix (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

"Most important"

When we indicate the "three most important actors" on the list, where does the judgment that these were the "three most important actors" come from? Did the Gottbegnadeten-Liste rank actors by importance? --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 17:30, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

What I'm really asking is why we only have three actors listed here. Eugen Klöpfer was on the list and I think we may as well include him in the article unless there's a special reason to limit entries to just the "three most important actors". --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 17:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I've expanded the list to include all members of the list who have a Wikipedia article about them. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 08:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
