On 23 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from 1934 German referendum to 1934 German head of state referendum. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Several of the first 10 sites Google presented when I searched deny that Hitler was democratically elected. For example:
Can we address these objections, in the current article? -- Uncle Ed ( talk) 16:01, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
Making bold the title is totally normal. Perhaps you would explain what you have against linking referendum? The opening just looked awful. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 06:14, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Most refs in this article were WP:CS1, and I have changed the rest to match per WP:CITEVAR. However, there are a bunch of refs that are to different pages of the same book/journal/etc. (the best example being The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich). Therefore, I think that {{ sfn}}s would make more sense in this article. Thoughts / objections? House Blaster talk 23:50, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

but Hindenburg retained the ability to dismiss Hitlerthe source doesn't exactly verify this?
Technically it is assumed that the President may dismiss the Chancellor...is what I assume verifies this, but the way the article is written doesn't make that power seem nearly as concrete as the prose here. Would maybe do
though Hindenburg technically retained the ability to dismiss Hitler.
On August 19, 1934, the cabinet availed itself, a second time, of its self-appointed authority to consult the people. Pollock has a translation of a letter Hitler wrote to his Minister of the Interior requesting that the cabinet do so. It would be WP:SYNTH to say that the cabinet exercised the power at Hitler's request, so I think the best path forward would be to just say the cabinet did so (citing Zurcher), and ditch the WP:PRIMARY source account. Does that work for you? House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 01:39, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
Overall no major problems in this section, just a few things to clarify. Elli ( talk | contribs) 20:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Although it gave Hitler the right to pass laws that were contrary to the constitution, it stated that the president's powers were to remain "undisturbed", which has long been interpreted to forbid any attempt to tamper with the presidency.might want to clarify that "it" is talking about the Enabling Act here. The way the book explains this (and the following sentence as well) are more clear; obviously we can't just copy them but I feel like this could use a bit of reworking.
No other issues here. Elli ( talk | contribs) 17:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Looks good, though I can't access the sources.
@ HouseBlaster: Once you address these comments I should be able to promote the article. Elli ( talk | contribs) 17:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by HouseBlaster ( talk). Self-nominated at 00:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1934 German referendum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The hook fact appears to be absent from main body text. Gatoclass ( talk) 03:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
I'm good with HouseBlaster's additions and, on reflection, the source supports the hook, so let's not waste any more time on this one. Gatoclass ( talk) 04:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:1933 German referendum which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 17:35, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
