Talk:Muller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a discussion from User talk:KF. Any comments welcome. <KF> 00:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, "Wikipedia recognises Muller and Müller as synonymous" (your edit summary). Says who? Would you like to include all Müllers on the Muller page or just the two or three you readded? Next thing someone else would want to separate the two pages again (and for good reason). There is, after all, a disambiguation note at the top of the page. And, pray, who is Jeb Muller?

All the best, <KF> 00:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Someone searching for Müller should not have to be aware of the shortcuts on a keyboard to produce the umlaut. If there are other Müllers, then by all means add them to that disambiguation, or provide a link at the top of the page that is clearer than the rather cryptic one there at present.

Sorry I don't understand any of this. There is a link to the Müller disambiguation page at the top of the Muller page and vice versa—no one has to search for a missing ü key on their keyboard. And why, or in what way, is that link cryptic? "If there are other Müllers"? Of course there are, lots of them. Why should I want to add them to the Muller page? <KF> 00:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
It's cryptic because it says "You may be looking for..." rather than something to the effect of this page includes Mullers, click here for Müllers or here for Muellers. I managed to visit the page, add a name, go back to it today and leave you a message before it was clear. Hence, cryptic. DionysosProteus 00:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I suppose anyone using an encyclopaedia can be expected to know that it is always a good idea to start reading an article at the beginning and that they may miss something if they don't. But I'll copy this discussion to Talk:Muller and we'll see what others think. <KF> 00:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
I did read that sentence, each time I visited. Still, it wasn't clear that it was pointing to another disambiguation page. DionysosProteus 04:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
