[edit] Fjeldjager paragraph

The paragraph describing John Arne Fjeldjager needs references. If the information is true, the paragraph should be edited for grammar and spelling.

[edit] Requested move

Joseph Babiński → Joseph Babinski — Revert an undiscussed, unreferenced move of this life-long Frenchman back to the proper name in accordance with naming conventions. The unreferenced move appears to be a misspelling pulled out of the hat, but in any case it is clearly not the appropriate name for the article under our naming conventions. —Gene Nygaard 20:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Support as nominator. In addition to being the spelling in the sources in the article itself, the universal spelling in English of the eponymous terms named after him, he is "Babinski, Joseph François Félix, 1857-" in the Library of Congress Card Catalog and there is no squiggle over the "n" in his autograph on the photograph included in the article.

  • Support. The move that added the accent above the n was one of several undiscussed edits by a now-inactive and very nationalistic Polish Wikipedian, which generally ignored Wikipedia policies and guidelines. We're gradually fixing them. Andrewa (talk) 02:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Support per Gene's evidence. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
