Dmitri:
Wikipedia (at least in the latest 18 Sep 2006 version) seems innocent of
the
misspelling -- it was simply reporting (with appropriate 'tuts' and
explanations) the occurrences of 'Dimitri' in other sources. I quote:
Una Jena in Cassaforte
(Also known as Hybrid) Dmitri appeared in this Italian film in the late
1960s
(hence the extra "i" in his first name). The Internet Movie Database has
a
listing of it.
986 Audio Interview with Dimitri Nobokov
Despite the egregious misspelling of his name on their web page, Wired
for Books
contains a good archive of audio interviews with various notable
writers.
