editIt seems Gauland has a law degree but is not a legal scholar - at least there's no indication of an academic career given here. This might be an issue of translation confusion. The German term 'Jurist' indicates nothing more than a law degree. Does anyone know more?

Hi, the first paragraph seems pretty wired. If he's a German wawyer he must have both "Juristische Staatsexamem" or legal state examinations otherwise he could not be admitted to the bar, i.e he wouldn't be a lawyer. It's just odd to mention that someone has two legal state examinations in the way it's done in this article. It sounds like it's something special while in reality it's just the normal case for jurist in Germany. If one says in Germany you're a jurist people will usully assume that this person has done both exams. Though, it's not necessarly the case and some folks who didn't do or pass the 2nd legal state examination still call themselves a "jurist" which is formally perfectly fine. To sum this up, if the first paragraph would just state he's a German lawyer, ... it would be fine. If one would want to go into more detail - say in the education section or wherever but not in the first paragraph, one could say where he studied and took the first legal state examination and where he did the "Referendariat" - his legal practical training - and took the second legal state examination. 86.30.180.40 (talk) 10:03, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Bias
editSomeone keeps adding words like 'racist' and 'xenophobic' to descriptions of Gauland's and the AfD's policies. It is one thing to discuss these as charges levelled at Gauland, with reference to who made these allegations; it is quite another to state them as undisputed, impartial fact. It's much more accurate and less divisive to use words like 'conservative' and 'anti-immigration', etc. Especially if you keep in mind that Mr. Gauland has spent 40 years as a loyal member of the then conservative Christian Democrats.80.131.52.22 (talk) 02:53, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Depression
editThis article states that Gauland suffered depression after having 'passed' a state exam. Is that correct, or did he in fact 'fail' the exam? I am not a German speaker but using Google translate on the source I was able to discover only that he suffered depression after taking the exam; the outcome (pass or fail) of his exam was not stated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.147.182.16 (talk) 01:57, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
Pejorative terms
editFeel it is more appropriate to describe Gauland as 'right wing' rather than use the pejorative term 'far right' PompeyTheGreat (talk) 07:27, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
