Kids, please stop and try to reach a compromise. The name Estonian Self-Administration is at least correct translation of Eesti Omavalitsus (haven't had a chance to check sources), but it is as clear, that it was a puppet government without any real power. So, compromise - name it Estonian Self-Administration, but make it clear it was a puppet of Nazis. DLX 15:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unacceptable. Estonian Self-Administration is a name crying for context. In context of the Nazi Germany's usage, this context was the context. We can't, however, expect Wikipedians to accept the Nazi context; thus, this aspect needs to be made explicit in the title. I can propose Estonian Self-Administration (Nazi puppet government), Nazi-Era Estonian Self-Administration or perhaps Self-Administration of Estonia during Nazi Occupation. However, given that this particular puppet was fairly powerless and thus, of limited significance, I recommend discussing the whole affair in the article of Occupation of Estonia by Nazi Germany.

Puppet government is about the only thing the article says right now. I do not know how it could be more pro- puppet-POV. As for the name, this is what is used by the Estonian International Commission for the Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity. -- Petri Krohn 19:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
