The German double-'s', special character 'ß', is not used in Enlish. (It isn't even used in German-speaking Switzerland.) It is always transliterated to 'ss'. I tried to move the article to Richard Voss but it redirects here and so I was not allowed to move it. The two pages should be reversed. The article should be moved to Richard Voss and Richard Voß should redirect to Richard Voss. Mike Hayes (talk) 00:30, 8 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

It is just the text of 1911 Britannica with an uncited sentence about Frascati, Italy. It needs a portrait and infobox and information from another source. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 15:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC) I removed the Frascati sentence, and added a bit from another source, but it still needs yet another to move from stub stage. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 22:14, 3 March 2011 (UTC) I added info from yet another skimpy source, and upped the class from stub to start, but it still seems a little stubby. I also restored the remark about Frascati, since the town is mentioned in German Wikipedia's article. The story of his Italian connection is most in need of development, but all aspects of his life could use much more narrative. There is a good listing of works at this point, and annotations was a lot of what the last source (NIE) contributed. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 11:41, 5 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
