Oscher or Osher?

"born Oscher Zaritsky" in the lead, but "born Osher Zaritsky" in the first section; why? Boris Tsirelson (talk) 09:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parikh's biography uses "Ascher." Presumably these are all just differing transliterations. We should be consistent, I agree. Maybe there's guidance in the style article "Romanization of Russian." Ishboyfay (talk) 14:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
