Why is it only the English and Japanese Wikipedie don't use the hacek ("Rezniček") for this fellow's name? Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
There is not really a good reason to use it; Reznicek didn't use it himself and even though he was of Czech ancestry his world was really German - a notable contrast with, for instance, Dvořak. Ilja Nieuwland
D major 1901 or D minor 1903? Sources seem to disagree but point toward the latter?... Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
It seems this was moved exactly a year ago, without discussion, under an edit summary that asserted "correct format".
I'd gladly accept that if (a) the composer actually spelt his name with the diacritics, and (b) I could find any external references that support it.
Well, guess what. There ain't any, that I can find. As discussed above, Reznicek lived in Austria and did not use the diacritics when he spelt his own name. That, as far as I am concerned, is the end of the matter. We spell Sergei Rachmaninoff that way (and not Rachmaninov or Rakhmaninoff/ov or anything else) because he spelt his own name that way in the West. That is the ultimate authority. End of story. We do not go back and respell someone's name according to our own personal (and in this case totally unsupported by references) theories about how we think they should be spelt.
This needs to be moved back to Emil von Reznicek asap, but I'll wait for comments. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 22:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Emil von Řezníček → Emil von Reznicek – He spelt his own name without diacritics, and it is almost never seen written with diacritics. Please see discussion above. Jack of Oz [Talk] 10:00, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Some portions are properly cited, but there is a significant amount left to do. Thanks. 104.169.31.99 ( talk) 09:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
