Talk:Julia Görges

message: Ok, so I didn't mean to be rash by correcting what appeared to me to be a spelling 'error.' But in the official tennis organizations like the WTA, ITF, and the Grand Slams, her surname is spelled as 'Goerges.' And the tennis media in general also follows that convention. I also figured that most of those who are looking her up on Wikipedia are going to search for her using 'Goerges' (although that is not really a problem since it automatically redirects to her page). Also, her official website and Twitter both use 'Goerges.' So, what do you all think about moving the page to align with this conventional spelling?

replies: text: Her official website uses the correct spelling "Julia Görges" on every page. Even her personal profile shows "Name: Julia Görges". Jared Preston (talk) 15:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

text: Oh, I meant the web address. But you are right about the site itself. Aandalib90 (talk) 20:09, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I have done a lot of editing of Görges' page in the past couple of days, but feel free to spot any errors or make any suggestions for improvement. I am new to Wikipedia editing, so there may very well be several other ways to present material better that I have yet to know about. I feel like the Career section of the page is quite cluttered at the moment, but don't know how to improve it without a massive overhaul of the entire section.

thread_title:  Suggestions for improvement 

message: I noticed that the above discussion made little-to-no referrence to WP:COMMONNAME. According to the policy: 
:"Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's 'official' name as an article title; it instead uses the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources."
Sports Illustrated, ESPN, The Los Angeles Times, NBC Sports, Yahoo Sports, and The WTA, are all reliable English-language sources, and all use the spelling "Goerges" (as do several others, I'd imagine). Even her own website, which reserves the German spelling for pages within, still uses the address julia-goerges.com.
I think that another move should be considered based on these matters. The "Görges" spelling can still be noted in the first sentence of the article. -- James26 (talk) 21:54, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gotten some good advice from Vegaswikian. I think a decision to re-nominate should be based on whatever consensus is reached here regarding the common name, or other points. -- James26 (talk) 05:32, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I already suggested moving the page to reflect the usage of the English spelling by virtually all non-German sources, but more people opposed this move than supported, as can be seen above. I'll just again point out the fact that all the official governing bodies of tennis use 'Goerges', including the Women's Tennis Association and the International Tennis Federation . That also is the name used on the English-language website of the Federation Cup and the Grand Slam tournaments: French Open (Roland Garros), Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open. --Aandalib90 (talk) 05:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I say instead of this bickering and back and forth, which is really split, we call a 3 or 5 person administrative cabal to decide. We will list arguments or they can look at these arguments, and let them decide. At least whatever way they decide it will be a little more etched in stone for this Goerges article and we won't be calling for name changes every other month.

The result of the move request was: not moved by clear consensus JohnCD (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Julia Görges →  – As per WP:ENGLISH and WP:NAME where it states that all article titles MUST be written in English. The English Language does not contain a "ö" character and this is translated into eo instead hence the correct name, as it is the correct translation on this Wikipedia is Julia Georges. GAtechnical (talk) 22:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: requester note Are you sure you didn't mean Goerges? No sources spell it Georges and almost all the references in the article spell it Goerges. Was this an error? Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

text: That's not a proper reason and is in violation of ENGLISH and NAME and as I say is the correct translation and has nothing to do with diacritics or the fact that this is somehow the international encyclopedia. This is an English website so we only have to present the names as correct in the English Language format we don't have a duty to do anything else. Please read instead stalking me and C&Ping responses. GAtechnical (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Note at this point GATechnical deleted most of the discussion of this RM and opened another, saying that "all votes with per other RM#'s or Diacritics or I like it arguements will be removed and declared void." That confused the issue to the point where I have decided that the best thing to do is revert this talk page to the point just before his deletion. The entries thus deleted can be seen in the history but do not contribute anything useful.
I have also closed the RM as not moved. It is clear that "Georges" was a mis-type by GATechnical for "Goerges" but it is also clear that consensus here, as in the two previous RMs, is to stay with "Görges". GATechnical is strongly advised to drop the stick. JohnCD (talk) 11:29, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
