Topics

According to my hungarian friend, Wolfgang was in fact Hungarian, so why is this a Austrian people stub? 194.193.78.109 14:30, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know his ancestors were immigrants from Ireland.

Name

Von Kempelen is known in English sources by the German version of his name, not a Hungarian one. It can be easily proved for example by references in scholar.google.com (163 references to Wolfgang von Kempelen scholar vs. 27 to Kempelen Farkas). VinceB, please refrain from hungarizing names in this Wikipedia. There is also a Hungarian Wikipedia, where you can do it. But this is an English version. Tankred 20:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
