Talk:Wolfgang Assbrock

WP:UE
You know, I find it very hard to accept the proposition that us of the eszett is an absolute rule that must be forced upon English-speaking Wikipedians, when so many German sources do not consider it necessary. This man's name, in German, I will accept, was Aßbrock. But "ß" is not English, and the "ß" is not always used in this man's name, even on German websites. . Heck, he even had an email address that used the "ss" spelling..

So if they can use "ss" in German, we sure as heck can use it in English. I'm moving this to Assbrock, per WP:UE. Unschool (talk) 09:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree in this case at least. All the English-language sources I've found spell his name "Assbrock" (there aren't a ton since he wasn't particularly famous, but there are a handful of scattered news reports archived in Lexis-Nexis). --Delirium (talk) 01:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
