Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Well, C. W. Scheele is spelled C. W. Scheel in the tungsten entry - that is wrong.
SVN commit 579140 by ingwa: Fix bug 133297: Misspelling of Scheele BUGS: 133297 Hi Magnus! Is all well in Linköping? Another thing: In the data the first name is given as K. W. in all instances, but Magnus says it is C. W. Which is the correct form?

The german wikipedia says both Karl and Carl are correct. The english doesn't :-) But in Germany the form "Karl" is much more common. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Wilhelm_Scheele I just fixed this in BlueObelisk as well, so with the next sync Kalzium of KDE4 will also have the fix.

I think this guy was a Swede, so logically the Swedish name conventions (i.e. Scheele's own) should be followed.
Hi Inge - Linköping is well Regarding C.W. or K.W - I did check out how he spelled his name on his "Chemische Abhandlung von der Luft und dem Feur" and there it says Carl with a C, so i think C is more correct. See http://runeberg.org/scheelch/0000.html for a scan of a facsimile edition of the original work.
Hey Magnus, thanks for the work. This is now fixed in BlueObelisk, so it will be in KDE4. I think it will be fine if we let it be K.W. Scheele in 3.5 because that would introduce 4 new strings for the translators (new as in "needs to be retranslated"). Agreed?
SVN commit 580013 by ingwa: K. W. Scheele -> C. W. Scheele, as this is the correct spelling. The same change is also done for KDE4, but not in our SVN, since the data is taken from outside.
