Talk:Viola Shelly Schantz

This article was written as part of an edit-a-thon
This article was started by a new editor as part of an edit-a-thon called She Blinded Me with Science: Smithsonian Women in Science Edit-a-Thon held at the Smithsonian Institution Archives. This could very well be the first article that the editor who started it has ever written, so please be kind, educating and please consider incorporating them into the editing process. We look forward to your contributions in helping to expand content on women in science on Wikipedia, and helping to create a welcome environment for all editors! This note has been placed on all articles related to the event! Sarah (talk) 15:13, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Shantz or Schantz?
Both spelling appears in the literature, sometimes both in the same publication. But from Google Book searches it seems that "Schantz" appears much more often in peer-reviewed sources, while "Shantz" appears mainly in websites. Confusingly, there are authority records for both versions: Schantz, Viola S. and Shantz, Viola S.. --Animalparty! (talk) 07:06, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
