[edit] Article name
I'd like to suggest that this article be moved back to "Wenceslaus Hollar," that being the name that Hollar is most widely known by, and that he used for most of his life, which he spent in England. A recent check on Google shows the form "Václav" (with or without diacritic) is used in only 2% of the mentions of Hollar, and these pages are all either WP mirrors or pages in the Czech or Slovak language. "Wencesla(u)s" is used 69% of the time (with 29% using "Wenzel"). According to WP naming conventions, "Wenceslaus" is the correct form, on several different grounds (e.g., "Only use the native spelling as an article title if it is more commonly used in English than the anglicized form").

- This is correct as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). I will move it. The Singing Badger 15:17, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
