This article is about Teun van de Keuken, and it says his father is Johan van der Keuken. Is this correct? (If so, I'm curious why.) LadyofShalott 02:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
HA! I knew this would be the question you were going to ask. Did you see I had to move the article? Yes, papa is with r, son is without. I cannot explain it; it may well be that he did that on purpose. Or it is possible that he got written up incorrectly in the city register. But at least two, maybe three or four of the sources cited actually make a point of it ("yes, without r" or words to that effect). Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:55, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I thought it most likely; I didn't really think you'd miss that. I tried to check by having Google translate one of the reference articles, but when I saw it translated his last name into Cuisine, I realized that was a futile way to proceed. Oh well, people do change names, and have changes given to them that they just accept. (No, I had not noticed the page moves.) LadyofShalott 04:03, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's a bit odd because in the motherland we don't change names as easily as you Americans do. We value tradition and adherence to the law. :) :) :) :) Drmies (talk) 16:08, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
