Talk:Johannes Wierix

Jan Wierix
This is plainly the more common name, at least in English, used by the major museums and auction houses. Note that Getty, generally more authorative in English than the RKD, prefers Johan, but no one else seems to. Please be more careful, and check sources in English, before making such moves.

 * No silly reversions please - argue the case at talk. Are you going to put the van Orlys up for WP:DYK? Johnbod (talk) 15:20, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
