Changed "Warschau" to "Warsaw"

[edit]

I changed "Warshau" to "Warsaw." The article says only that he performed there after 1901; it doesn't give any clue as to whether this was before or after partitioned Poland was liberated and reconstituted. But if it was before, then Warsaw was in the part of Poland under Tsarist Russian rule--not either of the German speaking empires. If it was after, then the Polish name of the city is Warszawa. Either way, it doesn't make sense to refer to the city by its German name in an English reference work. Uporządnicki (talk) 14:54, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's all fine, I just overlooked that when translating from German. Only no link, - we don't link London and Paris, or other current capital cities. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:00, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
