Why "Wl"?

The original Russian is pronounced Vladimir, so why is the transliteration Wladimir? There isn't even a w-letter in the Russian alphabet. 65.113.71.3 (talk) 20:03, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When he wrote in other languages, he spelled his given name Wladimir. --Una Smith (talk) 18:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's the short, sweet and totally sufficient answer. Here's a way too long one: "W" in German is pronounced like the "V" in English (e.g. Wagner), and the Russian name Владимир is transcribed (and exists independently in German) as Wladimir (see, e.g., de: Wladimir Wladimirowitsch Putin). In English, typically, we do not transliterate names in other languages that use the Latin alphabet, and Wagner remains Wagner without becoming Vagner. So, since Köppen lived and published and spent the bulk of his professional career in Germany in Austria, he comes to us as Wladimir. Eliezg (talk) 19:21, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My edit is not vandalism.

First, please forgive my poor English. Austria was annexed into Nazi Germany before Köppen's death. Therefore when he died, the city of Graz was part of Nazi Germany. That is why I changed Austria to Nazi Germany. I want to understand that my edit should not be categorised as a vandalism. Thank you.--124.141.180.241 (talk) 12:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
