Talk:Rüppell's warbler

English name

Rüppell is the correct name of the German naturalist, but this contains a "ü", which is not a letter in the English language. Is the English name "Rueppell's Warbler"? This spelling gets a lot of hits on Google. Snowman 23:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Checked 16 ornithological textbooks, and every single one uses Rüppell's, none Rueppell's. The argument about "ü not being used in English" is spurious in respect of names, and the argument about keyboards lacking the ü is nonsensical (none do). I've moved the page back to its correct orthography. - MPF 13:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Scientific name

Lead and infobox differed, so I've standardised on ruppelli, following IOC 6.3 (though I note that IOC are inconsistent for other species with the same epithet, e.g. Rüppell's Vulture is Gyps rueppelli, and IUCN use rueppelli). Dave.Dunford (talk) 18:57, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
