"Charité" vs. "The Charité"

edit

The article (mostly) uses the term "The Charité", although both terms are in use, and the form without the definite article sounds less clumsy in English. My preference would be for switching if there is no authoritative grounds for staying with the current usage - how about it? --- --- Charles Stewart(talk) 11:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

In German, it always goes with the definitive article: die Charité. Greetings, 88.73.101.204 10:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
English is not German.

Here is an interview with Christian Drosten, professor at Charité, who works on the evolution and emergence of RNA viruses, including coronaviruses. He is sometimes called "the German Tony Fauci," although Drosten isn't the same kind of political advisor. He developed the COVID-19 test used by WHO. This interview may (or may not) be a WP:RS, but in any case there are citations in on the podcast page to WP:MEDRS

@Nbauman: Christian Drosten has his own (recently created) article so I have added him to the notable people section. TSventon (talk) 12:18, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Good. Do you think a link and concise summary of his interview on TWIV, which emphasizes his latest thinking on COVID-19, would be a good addition to the Christian Drosten page? --Nbauman (talk) 21:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
