Talk:Al-Khawarizmi

The self-indulgent pursuit of an imagined "accuracy" in transcriptions is a perfectly harmless exercise in vanity, as long as there are redirects from the usual names a reader of Wikipedia would use if looking for this person. In stroking our various cultural pretensions we forget sometimes that Wikipedia is a service making information available to those who are looking for it. --Wetman 03:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
