[edit] Tenenbaum / Tanenboym?

In January 65.96.133.73 changed all the spellings of the subject's surname to Tanenboym from Tenenbaum, but didn't request that the article be moved accordingly. Firstly, we need to make sure we're consistent. Secondly (and less importantly) is Tanenboym really the spelling we should use? The mia.org.il links cited in the article spell it Tenenbaum, as do the BBC links. This seems also to be the spelling used by the Jerusalem Post(e.g. [1]). Haaretz' search engine is broken (and they seem to forbid google's spider). So should decide which spelling is the one most commonly used in English language media, make the article self-consistent, and then make redirects from the reasonable alternate spellings. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 19:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I checked the sources and all of them spell it neither Tenenbaum nor Tanenboym, but rahter Tannenbaum, so I changed and moved the article accordingly. Zocky | picture popups 03:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


What is the source for the assertion that Tenenbaum was kidnapped from Kuwait? According to one of the BBC stories linked to from this article, it was Dubai.

[edit] Elhanan Tannenbaum admits he was dealing drugs in Lebanon
