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?
Unclear origin of usage[edit]
Under the Definition section it starts with the Prague Spring (1968), but under the Usage section it states the term comes from the UK when referring to the Soviet invasion of Hungary (1956). Should there be an addition in the beginning of the Definition section that starts with the definition from British politics, or is it that the term was popularized/its definition solidified in common lexicon after the Prague Spring?

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)
- "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)
