I removed this from the article as unverifiable:

* Alexander Knapp, A Knight of ancient England who came from germany to serve under the king at the time.

If someone wishes to add it back, they should indicate a source, (at least indicate which king). 209.92.136.131 19:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Siegfried Knappe

Should a link to Siegfried Knappe go on this page? 70.20.169.235 (talk) 23:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure It is reasonable that someone might look for him here. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 00:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Spelling

In UK English I've only ever seen the verb to knap (as in flint tool making) spelled with one P; the Concise OED says it is from Old English, imitating the sound of striking a stone with a hammer. According to Belas Knap (again 1 P) it is also a hill crest in old English. Does this differ in US English, or is this an error? Pterre (talk) 17:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Dictionary.com says Knapp and Knap. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 18:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

To summarise, this seems to agree with me: Knap with 1 p = verb, or hill. Knapp with 2 ps = button, close, knob, meagre, narrow, scant, scarce, short, skimpy etc. Pterre (talk) 18:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh come on, how is this relevant to a disambiguation page for Knapp? How about MacDonald's, a fast food outlet in Pocahontas County? Pterre (talk) 10:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
