Diacritics

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

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

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)
