Is "www.nbm.org/.../00s/ summer01" an external link? I checked that web site but could not find anything on Schindler. <KF> 10:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Note regarding the disagreement with Wright over Schindler's work on the Imperial Hotel: Correspondence between Wright and Schindler were purchased recently by the Getty Trust which support Schindler's claims. These letters were found among the effects of Pauline Schindler.

[edit] Requested move

I strongly believe this page is mis-titled. Schindler was "Rudolph" not "Rudolf". For verification see the Architecture & Design Collection (ADC) at the University Art Museum at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) - where Schindler's archive is kept. We should assume his "Americanized" spelling was important and meaningful. Tdenzer (talk) 00:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I sort of support a move (though in a sense, its easier like this than having two 'Rudolf's - and sure enough it is his BIRTH name). But what im not sure of is exactly when he used either name himself. I know the change roughly equated to moving to the USA, but did he still refer to himself as 'rudolf' when talking to Austrian friends? or did he call himself 'rudolph' to anyone before moving stateside? Was it his legal name? I think the much more important thing is to explain this in the article (which I am not knowledgable enough to do) rather than just rename it.
