Name spelling error: Meinerts/Meinhertz
The spelling of the name is wrong actually it's Dirk Meinerts Hahn, not Meinhertz. (The pronunciation is about the same.) See: http://worldcat.org/identities/viaf-49866485/ --89.204.138.24 (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Interesting. The statue in Hahndorf says "Meinhertz". The German equivalent?. Doug butler (talk) 22:33, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It is a quite common frisian name. - As I said, the pronunciation sounds the same. (And afaik german expats and immigrants quite often changed the spelling of names to match the pronounciation.) --89.204.138.24 (talk) 22:43, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I've reverted the headline name to the most usual spelling, with the original in parentheses, a common way to deal with such problems, and created a redirect from the original spelling. Thanks for the information. Doug butler (talk) 01:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, the monument says ′Meinertz′, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Meinhertz_Hahn#/media/File:CAPTAIN_HAHN_MONUMENT_-_HAHNDORF.jpg. No, his actual name is ′Meinerts′. The fact that his name was spelt differently in Australia is not relevant for the title of the article. Of course, his ′Australian′ name(s) should be mentioned in the first line, in reverse order to the present state. --Vanellus (talk) 05:58, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
