- Hi Ziko! I remember your nick from the German WV. Are you the same user? en WV does have a rather small German community. I had to revert one edit made by you concerning the Roman salute. This unit is very sensitive as emotions rise fast. I disagree in showing a picture and explain how to circumvent an important law in Germany. Please discuss changes to this paragraph first to avoid any edit warring. Thank you and regards, jan (talk) 14:19, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, yes I am. :-) / I found the picture a good way to show that even neo nazis (sometimes) are afraid to do the Hitler salute - so that tourists shouldn't even think of it. It was not supposed as recommending a smart trick to avoid prosecution, if you mean that. Having the picture in the section is not that important to me, but it would be nice to have something else.

- Ziko, i see your point and assumed good faith with you but the negative interpretation will be seen in general first. I don't mind to do something else but it should not clearly show the way to circumvent it. jan (talk) 15:34, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- I doubt that (it's about a tourist who might find the Hitler salute funny; "circumventing" it will mean nothing to him, and he wouldn't be unterstood) but as I said - it is not that important to me. Thanks for the notice on my user page, not everybody would have done that. Ziko (talk) 18:12, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Ziko, lately we have been critised for our sex tourism policy just because we tried to actively regulate any such content and not negate it (you can't in places like e.g. Pattaya or Angeles). Due to the WV history selected items taken out of the context is popular to critize the community and the roman salute is a very easy target... jan (talk) 19:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

- I don't see the danger. But - if it is about improving the policies, I'm your man. Ziko (talk) 19:06, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
