Here I am, to start my talk page.
Mendel
editI reverted your name order change in the Pendolino article, because "JOHANN GREGOR MENDEL" was the name of the train service in question, whatever the monk-scientist's correct name order was. However, I tried to do some research on the real person's name. I did not come up with anything definitive, but it appears to me that there is no fixed name order: these are not first and second given names, but given name (Johann) and monk name (Gregor(ius)), of which Mendel only used the monk name (including a signature in an image at the Mendel Museum site). He is then called "Johann Gregor Mendel" and "Gregor Johann Mendel" in various sources. --Rontombontom (talk) 11:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
