Linea 1:
This page uses both 'Geißler' and 'Geissler'. Should we standardise on the latter, given that 'ß' is not in the Latin alphabet? And what about umlauts - keep, or use 'ae', 'oe, 'ue'? [[Usor:Pantocrator|Pantocrator]] 10:34, 16 Augusti 2011 (UTC)
:It's a good question. With languages written in the Latin alphabet, our rule is to retain their accents, diacritical marks etc. just as they are. In the case of German in particular it's worth thinking about the issue because within the language 'ß' 'ä' 'ö' 'ü' are treated as equivalents to 'ss', 'ae', 'oe, 'ue'. However, my first response is that we should stick with our general rule, thus retaining the standard German forms 'ß' 'ä' 'ö' 'ü'. I'd like to hear what German-speaking Vicipaedians say. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 12:19, 16 Augusti 2011 (UTC)
::English, of course, always uses the two-letter forms. Perhaps, though, we should at least use the expanded forms in titles, to facilitate searching, even if we use the German letters in the text. [[Usor:Pantocrator|Pantocrator]] 12:00, 17 Augusti 2011 (UTC)
