Talk:Christen C. Raunkiær

Title
Christen C. Raunkiaer → Christen C. Raunkiær &mdash; The article was recently moved with no prior discussion even though it had been at the previous title for a little more than four years and I can't make sense of the explanation given in the edit summary (Move from "æ" to "ae". This is a matter of orthography rather than spelling. "ae" is just as correct and not so archaic.) so I'm requesting it be moved back to the correct title. This clearly is a question of spelling (and orthography is the study of correct spelling), "ae" is not as correct and there is nothing archaic about the letter æ. (Maybe that editor was mistaking the letter æ for the rare ligature æ?) 77.215.191.91 (talk) 13:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've reverted my move, since it has been challenged. I do indeed believe it to be a ligature. Hesperian 14:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. The key point is that Raunkiær is a Danish name. Although this is the same typographical symbol as the ligature that used to be common in Latin texts until the 18th century or so and occasionally has been used in English in words of Latin origin (such as encyclopædia), æ has the status of a letter in Danish with its own place in the alphabetical order and all. While it is the convention to convert æ to ae when æ is unavailable for some technical reason, doing so is nonetheless considered an error. 77.215.191.91 (talk) 15:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, point taken. Hesperian 04:48, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation needed
Especially that the spelling seems archaic, impossible in contemporary Danish. 195.187.108.130 (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
