A politician?

I wonder to what extent is it appropriate to call Syrový a politician. The definition of the word may be a subject to debate; but from my point of view, naming into a political function doesn't make you a politician. Also, Syrový is already in "Prime ministers of Czechoslovakia" category, which suits him (IMHO) much more than "Czechoslovakian politicians". So, I'd like to have him removed from that -- but if there is a convention or deeper intention in his inclusion it that category, it would be good if it was discussed here. -- Sandius 16:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Better later than never. Pavel Vozenilek 00:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
