Talk:Baron Klaus Wulfenbach
From Girl Genius
- About the title- he's never actually called that in canon. Wouldn't just using "Klaus Wulfenbach" be more straightforward? - Acacia Onna Stik 03:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
I think it is wise to use full names in page titles, but I have to concede that using the formal/European/archaic "x, baron von y" form is pretty much my own conceit. (There was an anonymous Joe over at the KDL site who I see was promoting it, so it isn't just me.) “Baron Klaus Wulfenbach” is the canonical name from the cast page, can we compromise on that? — Zarchne 06:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I'm glad you two settled that without me having to go on a 'von' extermination binge. ^_^ I understand Joe's argument, but between Klaus's personality and the canonical examples, I am firmly anti-von in the Wulfenbach case.

That seems like a good move. to me. - Acacia Onna Stik 06:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Character Analysis / Relationships
Do we need the Relationships section? It repeats points and references already made. --mnenyver 18:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't look at it that closely when I got the change notification. Let me reread it as a whole and see what needs adjusting. Corgi 21:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- The changes look good! --mnenyver 22:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- [bow] I didn't want to do a mere revert, because there was a sincere contribution made, but you were right about the redundancies - I should have looked more closely before. HAD to add Kaja's quote, too. Corgi 22:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- It seemed like a good idea at the time. I figured some more detail at the time. What triggered it was not seeing refs to the comics with the 'worth it' and 'maybe its you' incidents. Ah well... Donovan Ravenhull 23:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Transylvanian Saxons
I understand your point, but consider these arguments: The Saxons are an integral part of Transylvanian culture and atmosphere; they are part of what makes Transylvania Transylvanian. Also, how else would an Anglo-Germanic name like Klaus's have got into a position of minor nobility without the sort of sponsorship that brought the Saxons in in our history? Now, please note I did not state who hired them; it could have been somebody like the Storm King (yeah, I know, wrong period) setting up a 'fence' against the Heterodynes, instead of a Hungarian king facing his borders in the opposite direction. But unless it's specifically contraindicated at some point, I think the migration as a general population move is a safe bet.
- All that could be included in the "Possibly relevant outside information" section other articles have been using? It's a good analysis. --mnenyver 12:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- I wouldn't argue with that, it's a reasonable compromise. Corgi 00:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

*wince*
Just... *wince*.

- Yeah, pretty much. It actually kind of hurt putting that on. -Acacia 04:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- *sniffle* *lipquiver* I... don't want to think about what could happen! --mnenyver 04:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- [hugs Mn.] Now, now... unless Agatha gets mad at him in person, there's nobody around who'll activate the response. And then Gil really will invent the wasp-sucker from the story. Corgi 04:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- You know, the last time I thought that, it occurred to me that they did get the voice right before Anevka got her head switched out. So... there's that. -Acacia 05:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- [flaps a frantic paw at Acacia] SHHH! I'm trying to calm her down! Corgi 09:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
