Wagensteen or Wangensteen? edit

Is it Wagensteen or Wangensteen? I've seen references to both, but Wagensteen appears to be the correct name of the inventor. Banaticus (talk) 16:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The NYT [1] and the University of Minnesota (who named a library for him) [2] use Wangensteen. I can't find any reliable sources for Wagensteen. Fixing usage in article accordingly. Hqb (talk) 16:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I approve of the move. You can find a couple reliable sources, like the two I listed in the article, but having a library named after him is enough of an indication that Wangensteen is the correct spelling. :) Banaticus (talk) 16:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
