Name[edit]

Why is his name spelled with a "c". His name is Fredrik with a "k". English version or not does not change the spelling of a mans name... Vote for changing the title of the article to: Fredrik Hasselquist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.79.163.214 (talk) 00:34, 29 February 2012 (UTC) The name is spelled correctly in the external sources. That should be enough.[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved to Fredrik Hasselqvist. Favonian (talk) 09:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fredric Hasselquist → Fredrik Hasselqvist – The mans name is Fredrik Hasselquist, as shown in all external sources, as well as in the Swedish version of Wikipedia. Spelling with "c" instead of "k" has no purpose for English speaking readers here and may even cause confusion as all sources available spell it with "k". As oulined in Wikipedia: Naming conventions: The most common name for a subject, as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources, is often used as a title(...) and If there are too few English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject (German for German politicians, Portuguese for Brazilian towns, and so on).

Actually, in the source #1 Linneus does spell it with a c instead of a k. Probably due to some variety being used in the 17'th century. Fact remains the Swedes do spell his name with a k.Hazzelq (talk) 02:15, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well that was wrong. Move to Fredrik Hasselquist, the actual common English name if Frederick Hasselquist isn't any more. (It's Frederick Hasselquist in the English translations of the guy's works, which is presumably the most common English use.) Further, it's even the correct version of the Swedish name. Further, it's what the article and move request actually asked for, despite the typo in the link. — LlywelynII 09:42, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
