The poll conclusion above says that there is "some consensus" for Wilhelm Rontgen, but I don't see that anyone has favoured this spelling without an umlaut. In German the preferred spelling is Röntgen with an umlaut. The alternate spelling, often used in English, is Roentgen in which "oe" is considered equivalent to "ö". So either of these two would be acceptable, but NOT Rontgen. One must either retain the German umlaut, or else insert an e to replace the umlaut. Dirac66 (talk) 20:40, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
There is nothing here about Röntgen's parentage or early life. Was he any relation to Abraham and David Roentgen, the cabinetmakers? Kostaki mou (talk) 15:28, 28 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
If Mr Roentgen was born to a German father and a Dutch mother and lived in the Netherlands why is he not presented as a Dutch-German scientist? I really don't see why archaic nationality laws should play a role in how a contemporary encyclopedia defines the nationality of a person. Also, there is a difference between nationality and citizenship. It puzzles me why we decide to erase the national legacy of the female parent. 71.93.115.97 (talk) 03:50, 2 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
