[edit] Borenstein or Bornsztajn?

Where on earth did the spelling Borenstein come from? His name was Avrohom Bornsztajn. --Redaktor (talk) 23:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Redaktor, I see that you are a "buki" in Hebrew (and Polish) pronunciation and spelling. I don't agree, however, that we should use such obscure spellings as "Bornsztajn" when most Jewish publications use the simpler and easier (for English speakers) to read, "Borenstein" YU Torah Online, Jewish Press, JewishLaw.com, Feldheim Publishers, JewishGen.org. I also question your spelling of "Avrohom" vs. "Avraham" and "Chidushei HoRim" vs. "HaRim," which is how I've always seen it spelled and which is how it (Avraham) is spelled on many other Wikipedia pages. Could you direct me to a Wikipedia policy page or consensus discussion which backs up your spelling choices? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
