Shouldn't the title be italicized

[edit]

should 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

[edit]

After reading both the article and the talk page, I had no idea what "tankie" meant. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 06:28, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"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)[reply]
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)[reply]
