Moved to footnote

edit

Is the most important aspect of this German biography of Copernicus that it uses the spelling of the astronomer's name with "pp" rather than one "p", so that fact, above all others, must be emphasized in the lead? Moved it to a footnote, per WP:UNDUE where it belongs.radek (talk) 03:52, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Krakau

edit

"Krakau, Austria" is well-sourced" - is it? To any sources after World War I? Or non-German sources? We're supposed to use the contemporary English name or names and "Krakau" doesn't appear to be one of those (even if "Austria" is added). So the fact that Prowe was German is beside the point. If I'm writing about a Polish person who lived in Lipzig I don't get to call it Lipsk in that article. I could see "Cracow", though, come on....radek (talk) 06:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
