Talk:Carl von Clausewitz

Shouldn't his name be spelled Karl? Enchanter

No. It's definitely Carl. (Google for "vom Kriege")

-- See http://www.clausewitz.com/CWZHOME/FAQs.html#Name

If this is the case shouldn't we rename the article. The tile is Karl but Carl is used with in it. Is there any objection to changing the name of this article to 'Carl von Clausewitz'? tpower 09:22, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be a note that the penguin edition of On War is severely abridged? (I.E. it lacks whole chapters...) -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 00:19, Aug 31, 2003 (UTC)

"His Father was a Prussian Officer" -- Do we need to anglicize some capitalization here?? (Specifically, I don't know whether "Prussian Officer" is a specific term.)

I've changed the recommended edition of On War to the Paret translation. The Penguin edition previously cited is abridged and generally not seen as a well done translation. -- eakaplan

Reference re-added

As that is the case here, to remove the reference would put the article in copyright violation. Uriah923 17:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Value of OmniNerd content and quality of reference

The content added from the OmniNerd reference remains in this article, but the reference has been removed. This action is disputed and a conversation is ongoing here. Uriah923 06:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The content was removed - it is not particularly clear why that material was useful in any case, and it certainly wasn't the focus of Clausewitz's book. --Goodoldpolonius2 12:58, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The assertion you dubbed out HAD a source, but it was removed. Thus, the discussion I mentioned above. Also, as this topic is being discussed elsewhere, I think you should wait until a decision is reached before acting. Uriah923 15:07, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
