point. Many names are spelt differently in different languages. If
English uses and understands Hess, Goering, Cologne, &c., then there's an advantage in using what is recognized. On "Friedrich der Grosse", Gerda, I didn't know you had in mind ships' names, which are almost never translated, and in that case I support "Friedrich der Grosse". It may look dreadful to a German speaker in Germany (though not, I believe, to one in Switzerland) but it has the advantage of being legible to English speakers who have learnt no German.

is largely famous for her parentage. The name alone is likely to generate high traffic when this appears on the main page. In fact, the mere existence of an article is itself something that might need reviewing, though I believe her involvement in the
Cranach Madonna case might be sufficient for independent notability. I've given the refs a careful check and clicked on all the ones where the content is available. Ref 10 does not cover the paragraph it references (probably just a page number error). I found the

online editions, and interested parties will not need to look to
Knowledge to find the material. Edda Göring's article is inevitably going to contain material that is widely perceived as negative, and therefore needs to be held to a significantly higher standard of independent notability. A Knowledge article will greatly increase the Googleability of the material about her, which is predominantly located in books.

728:. The German Knowledge article is now less advanced than ours here. Yes, there is often a problem with Google books page links, I add them because they seem to work more often than not. Even when the link doesn't work, the citation from a printed source can still be relied on AGF. I have looked again at the

The only problem I saw with the article is that half of it seemed to be written using the German
Knowledge article rather than the original sources, which was supported by the fact that one third to one half of the references were completely the same. I checked what was available in Google Books, and
608:
You may be right about "inevitably going to contain material that is widely perceived as negative", but if so, that problem goes much more widely. The world is what it is, we aim to report on it accurately, and (as you recognize) it would be misleading to sanitize it. Verifiability is the main issue.
444:
I'd agree sensitive more than controversial, and on closer review, I appreciate the care
Moonraker has gone to in writing the article, and to make the sources available. Nevertheless, I think this article warrants special care because the subject is living, has never been convicted of wrongdoing, and
424:
I don't have any information on that, as I have found a lot written about Edda G, but nothing written by her. We don't know for sure that she is still using her maiden name. If she is, I imagine she would use "Göring" in
Germany, might conceivably switch to Goering in South Africa, but that isn't the

I was asked to look at the German, but don't have the time to do a full review. Please point out specifically which statements you find in question. I know

I am sympathetic to the rest of what you say, Espresso Addict. The page tries to comply with BLP policy and also aims to be kind to Edda

Moonraker, I trust you (excellent idiomatic translator) without looking, so I will wait for more precise questions. I see your point about the names, but think a living person might want to have her name spelt as she signs, not as the
English literature has it (that also says "Friedrich der Grosse",

On the spellings of names, I have used Göring in the title of the article for consistency with all of our other articles on members of the family, but rather unhappily, as the usual spelling of the name used in the English language is Goering, and I think that would be more recognizable in the hook

I don't agree that the existence of the page might need reviewing, because Edda Goering has been written about so much for so long that she is plainly notable. To offer a point of comparison, I should say she is more notable than
