[edit] Solomon or Samuel?

I hope that I am not showing my ignorance here but...I do not understand why this article calls Rapoport "Samuel". His name was Solomon according to every source I have seen. Does anyone know differently? Please comment.Guedalia D'Montenegro 13:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No idea. Dfass 15:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Avoiding redirect, Lemberg, Galicia

In order to be historically correct, I have reinserted Lemberg as the actual Name of Lviv at the time of Rapoport's birth. Lwów is not helpful as it leads to a redirect. Equally unhelpful is Galicia which links to a disambiguation page. --Catgut (talk) 07:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Why a German name of Polish city is more approprate? User:Majan

I am not sure why you refer to it as a Polish city. The city is today a Ukrainian city and was at this time in history (1790) an Austrian city and known by it's German name. I would appreciate if you would explain the rational of all these edits. KosherJava (talk) 19:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I reverted to the former version while this discussion is going on. --Catgut (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
