[edit] Title of page

This page was redirected to Anita Bose-Pfaff, with the surname hyphenated. I have reverted it back to this page, based on a Google search revealing that press sources do not hyphenate Frau Pfaff's surnames, and nor does she. Please don't change the title of this page without raising it for discussion first. Many thanks. -- TinaSparkle 16:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The redirection was because Bose-Pfaff is the official name (which Prof. Bose-Pfaff herself seemingly prefers not to use), as per German naming rules and as can easily be ascertained if only German websites are Googled. Basically, it doesn't matter, of course, under which name the entry is, as long as both forms can be found. But just for the sake of correctness, I have added the hyphenated name to the entry. I hope that that will solve the issue. Anuragi 09:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm happy with that - thank you. I think it's generally better to use the name that the person herself uses, especially seeing as this is the English-language Wikipedia, but I do see what you mean about the German rules. -- TinaSparkle 10:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
