What about replacing the "Category:Bioinformaticians" by "Category:German bioinformaticians" and "Category:Woman bioinformaticians"? --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 17:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I have to admit that my 12 February 2022 edit on categories included some bad parts (removing two non-diffusing categories). But i still think that it included good parts, too, namely replacing the "Category:Bioinformaticians" by "Category:German bioinformaticians" and "Category:Woman bioinformaticians" (, these suggested new categories are not labeled "non-diffusing"). --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 08:32, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hochschule / University (of applied sciences)

One more remark: The University (of applied sciences) where she was a professor from 2002 to 2005, is now named "Berliner Hochschule für Technik". When she was there, the name was "Technische Fachhochschule Berlin". This Information was included in the Hochschule article since 2 October 2021. The naming [[Berliner Hochschule für Technik|Beuth University of Berlin]] is incorrect, i think. Historically correct is [[Berliner Hochschule für Technik|Technische Fachhochschule Berlin]], and simply [[Berliner Hochschule für Technik]] is also correct. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 08:34, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Dear professor User:David Eppstein, may i edit the two suggestions (namely [[Berliner Hochschule für Technik|Technische Fachhochschule Berlin]] and the smaller category-edit discussed in the paragraph above)? thank you in advance. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 07:45, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't recall exactly where I got the "Beuth University of Berlin". My preference would be to use the English version of the name of the institution at the time she was there, or maybe the old name and then a parenthetical (now the Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology). My feeling is that if we use the German rather than the English, too many readers will see "high school" and think it is a secondary school rather than a university. But in any case, it sounds like the current text is incorrect and needs changing, so please go ahead. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, i did not find the correct English name at that time, so i decided to use the current name. We could possibly ask Charles Stewart (User:Chalst), who says to be based in Berlin. I suppose he knows better than anyone of us (=Professor Eppstein and me) about names of Berlin Universities. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 17:20, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
