– or the second one could be moved to Albrecht Graf von Bernstorff (German resistor). Both of these people were named Albrecht Graf von Bernstorff. That name redirects to Albrecht von Bernstorff, but the article about Albrecht Graf von Bernstorff (1890-1945) is actually about twice as popular with Wikipedia readers (pageviews here). Wikipedia doesn't ordinarily use lifespan ranges for disambiguation of people. Both of them were Prussian diplomats. I suspect the one born in 1890 is more notable for his resistance to Nazi Germany than for his service as a diplomat. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

Voluntary?

edit

In two places the article says von Bernstorff's military service was voluntary, but in one other place it says he "had to do his military service", which makes it sound involuntary. This should be clarified. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
