[edit] Spelling

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt his name spelt "Dubnov"????

Theoretically you are orrect and I think we do have a redirect. But, as Yogi Bear once said, in theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is. I guess it is because he lived in Poland & Germany, his Germanized name came to be known much better. Try Google and you'll see the difference. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 10:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

The vast majority of the hits and websites and references I have seen spell it "Dubnov". How is the non-Hebrew spelling handled in Israel? Is it with the W or the V?

Ok an admin advised me its ok to add the other spelling in brackets, so I did. Dubnov is a great man, by the way.
