Diacritics
[edit]Please stop removing diacritics on the 2009 Legg Mason Tennis Classic draw pages. Diacritics are now used on tennis draws in wikipedia (see 2009 French Open, 2009 Wimbledon Championships - Gentlemen's Singles, 2009 MercedesCup - Singles) and there is no reason to remove them. I know some recent articles lack diacritics, but they should be added where they are not, instead of removed where they are. Thanks. --Don Lope (talk) 22:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello PL Alvarez, I am going to be asking a couple of users to help on this in order to get this done because it is a big task that I can't get it done all on my own quickly! Just make sure to alert people before you start on a section by putting your signnature next to section number! Thanks!TW-RF (talk) 19:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Novak Djokovic
[edit]The Serbian spelling Novak Đoković redirects to the English spelling Novak Djokovic. If you want the article moved then go to Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please don't change links to the article name into links to the redirect. This is the English Wikipedia. His official English site [1] also spells his name in English.

- Note that the archives of Talk:Novak Djokovic already has a lot of discussion about the name. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Use English words. I searched "Novak Đoković" in Google which also returns results on Djokovic. In the first 200 English hits I didn't see a single source outside Wikipedia which said Đoković, Dokovic or any other variation without j, so I am going to revert your changes. Many English speaking readers will probable never have seen him spelled without j and would be uncertain whether "N Đoković" is Novak Djokovic or somebody else with a similar name (I would have been uncertain before today).

- I see you have also changed the spelling of titles of cited sources, for example from BBC Sport in [2]. I also revert that. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Your last article
[edit]Hi there PL Alvarez! That article you just created is looking pretty unorganized and lacking in information. If it isn't up to wikipedia standards soon, I may have to put it up for Speedy deletion. Cheers, --Stevedietrich (talk) 21:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
