:Move proposed by User:71.31.46.194 
*Oppose: Well, I hold my hands up, I moved it, but I did add a redirect from Martin Buss so the linkage is still there.  There are several thousand pages which are like this, e.g. Martina Navratilova redirects to Martina Navrátilová, Petr Cech redirects to Petr Čech etc.  I don't see the problem, but am happy to discuss further!

Let me just add: trialsanderrors, the ß is *not* in the process of being phased out at all. The rules for when it should be used have just been streamlined. After the reform, the distinction between ß and ss is absolutely clear: ß comes after long vowels, ss after short ones, period.That the Swiss have decided to abolish the ß entirely a long time ago is another matter entirely. Just trying to clarify this. —Nightstallion (?) 08:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
