century encyclopedia. Since the official policy is (necessarily) nebulous, rightness or wrongness is in the eye of the beholder. As articles are revised, more and more of them are hit by diacritic pedants who change the article names. Someone put a macron on ]; who's going to undo it? I put an acute on ]; who's going to undo it? (I was resolving little 'a' and capital 'P', and sumbuddy tossed in acutes, so I moved it.) I noticed a few days ago that two articles on similarly named Nazis were ] and ]. Umlaut is one thing, but eszett has traditionally been verboten in
English. The question of whether to call him Höß or Höss or Hoess or Hoss (Hoß and Hoeß are laughable) has been decided. And why not Heß? He's well enough known that sumbuddy changes him back to Hess. The few where there are disputes are usually resolved by removing the diacritic, but the vast majority of diacritics stay. That's wikiconsensus.

as an official state religion (I purposely selected wackos from opposite ends of the spectrum). You know, to those non-English speakers who mock the backwardness (they speak of "dumbing down" Knowledge by eliminating diacritics) of us
Anglophiles, let me point them in the direction of the speakers of German, and the fact that they can't even decide amongst themselves how to make use of something that they consider (on some of their discussion pages) to be essential to an accurate article: the "ß". I mean, the rules for using "ß" are different today than they were 15 years ago. So, if we decide that we are going to use German or Swedish graphemes, but then, in ten years, ther Germans or Swedes change their rules, does that mean that we will have to change all the affected English-language articles? I'll tell you what—why don't we just write them in English today and for always.

that it is pronounced something more like "Vuh WEN suh". I read your comments on the subject, as you asked, and wonder if you read mine. You say that our conventional
English spellings are "not correct". In this, you are technically correct. Would you deny that spelling the Libyan leader's name "Gadaffi" is also not correct? If you don't agree, then tell me, what is "correct"? If you do agree, then would you have us change the title of the article, and the usages within the article, to "معمر القذافي"? If not, why not? My central point is that it is simply a mistake to think that we can employ foreign spellings of names into the English Knowledge just because they happen to utilize an alphabet which

English speakers don't know how to pronounce "Clijsters". English speakers have no reference for the "ij" sound in that name, while it is a sound that doesn't exist in English. The rules about when and how to pronounce an "r" are different in English and Dutch. Live with it. The pronunciation info (if any) goes in the body of the Knowledge article, per
1083:. So unless it is something whose pronunciation is familiar, the squiggles are of no help. In fact, I'll just not even pronounce it to myself, and it gets into my memory as a blur of letters. Then when I come across some different incomprehensible gibberish, which actually might not even remotely resemble the first one other than being about the same length of word, my brain just lumps the new one together with the old one, and pretty soon I don't remember which was which and don't retain any information about either unpronounced word.

But non-English speakers, almost by definition, probably have a higher level of education—and interest in such esoteric matters as language naming conventions—than the

But even then some people will prefer to use diacritics on Knowledge (see
