Untitled[edit]

It's completely unclear to me whether Adolf was a "von". He is often referred to that way in English-language websites (beware of WP clones), but curiously German-language sites almost never use it. I don't have any print sources to check. Curiously, the modern EB cites him in their Karakoram article as "Adolphe de Schlagintweit", which is just bizarre. Stan 14:58, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Name spelling[edit]

"Adolphe" is the spelling used in all contemporary reports, as well as in the reports authored by the Schlagintweit brothers (albeit posthumously by Adolphe himself). The authors of the official reports, by the brothers themselves, are given as "Hermann, Adolphe, and Robert de Schlagintweit". I would also note that the "standard author abbreviation" is meaningless, as Adolphe never authored the name of any plant taxon. 71.163.146.238 (talk) 16:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Adolf Schlagintweit/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

It is an extract from the 1911 Britannica article, plus additional information on his execution. There is no portrait or infoboxes. A lot could be extracted from German biographical pages. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 13:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jules Verne, Claudius Bombarnac, ch. XVI, J. Hetzel et Cie, Paris, 1892[edit]

Il est vrai, depuis cette époque, de farouches sultans lui ont succédé, – entre autres, ce Ouali-Khan-Toulla, qui, en 1857, fit égorger Schlagintweit, l’un des plus savants et des plus audacieux explorateurs du continent asiatique. Deux plaques de bronze, présents des Sociétés de Géographie de Paris et de Saint-Pétersbourg, ornent son monument commémoratif.

It is true, since that time, that fierce sultans have succeeded him, among others, that Ouali-Khan-Toulla, who in 1857 had Schlagintweit slaughtered one of the most learned and daring explorers of the Asiatic continent. Two bronze plaques, present from the Societies of Geography of Paris and St. Petersburg, adorn his memorial. Jean11170 (talk) 18:34, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
