Article name

This article should be named "Vaterländischer Künstlerverein" because it's used as a title, without a definite article. Most references cited in the article use that form: Zweifel, Naxos, Raptus, Answers.com, Argerich recordings; Grove uses the wrong form once, but the correct form five times. I suggest to move the article to its correct lexicographical term "Vaterländischer Künstlerverein" and change all five occurrences within the article accordingly. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I did notice during my research for the article that both Vaterländische and Vaterländischer occur in sources, in roughly equal measure. I'm not up on German enough (or at all, really) to know which is correct, so I defer to the wisdom of teutonophones on the matter. -- JackofOz (talk) 12:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Checking the actual printed score, I see it's clearly Vaterländischer. I'll fix it. -- JackofOz (talk) 02:57, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
Mind you, that's not always an infallible guide. I have a score headed "Robert Schumann: Davidsblündertänze". Blunder indeed! -- JackofOz (talk) 08:41, 24 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The box labeled Schuppanzigh String Quartet is linked separately for “Schuppanzigh” and “String Quartet”. There exists an article entitled “Schuppanzigh String Quartet”, but I wasn’t sure if I should change the link. An argument for doing so is that people who visit this particular page are likely to already be familiar with the concept of a string quartet. QuarterNotes (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

There's also a direct link to Schuppanzigh Quartet, next to #25. Later, at #48, the link is split as you describe. If you think they should both be the same, be bold. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:05, 12 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
