[edit] Accurate name: Wanda Gág
That's her correct and official name, as appears on her book covers. --Húsönd 20:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- That is not how it's spelled here in Minnesota, where she lived. See the website for her home, for example, an historic site. Jonathunder 20:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Husond, even if that true on some book cover, it isn't determinative of the issue.

- OTOH, there is, and was, clear evidence of how the Wanda Gag House spells its name. Gene Nygaard 01:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

It is a distinct possibility that people doing websites do not know how to produce diacritic marks correctly. The US National Gallery of Art [1] and the Library of Congress [2] both show the diacritic, as do most images of book covers, as previously mentioned. As well, the Wikipedia article on her father uses the diacritic throughout and there seems to be no controversy there. Just further sources to ponder. Ryanjunk 00:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I currently don't have the means to scan the book cover, but I have it here in my hands and there is definitely a diacritic: Wanda Gág. Furthermore, this is how I have always seen the name spelled in literature referencing this author. I agree with Ryanjunk, some people may drop the diacritic because they don't know how to mark it correctly, but on Wikipedia the article should bear the diacritic (providing there are redirects in place at Wanda Gag, and there are). --woggly 10:25, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question???
When you write GAG in the Wikepedia search engine and don't use the accent mark - will the page still come up? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.80.168.143 (talk • contribs).
