Talk:Willem van Enckevoirt

Name
The name "William of Encke(n)voirt" is basically never used: since today google has one hit on the net, which is this article. Google books has the following: Though he was born with the "van" name, I suggest to move the article to "Willem of Enckevoirt" as it is most commonly used in the English literature.

 * Duh, I messed up. There are no "Willem of Encke(n)voirt" matches in google books (I gave the number of the result for the unlinked words). Still, "William of Enckevoirt" is not used in the literature, so I suppose I suggest to move the article back to "Willem van Enckenvoirt", as he, for example, is called in the "The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church Biographical Dictionary" and in the book "Contemporaries of Erasmus", etc. These references actually contain some stuff (birth date; father unlikely to be a common farmer as he was from noble heritage, etc.) that you may want to use to expand and/or correct your article Afasmit (talk) 23:57, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
