Talk:Ilie Năstase

message: Because I was connected too long my corrections hadn't been identified under my pseudonym (but under 80.70.42.194 and  84.96.87.77). I have added all the tournaments not listed by the ATP and I've also corrected Montréal 1972 to Toronto 1972. The Canadian Open (Montréal/Toronto) in the ATP Web site is always wrongly sited at Montreal : in fact it permuted each year, held one year at Montréal and the following one at Toronto and so on ... In 1972 the Canadian Open won by Nastase took place at Toronto and not at Montréal as indicated by the ATP. Carlo Colussi 10:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: His first book list ended in autumn 1991 (I do not exactly remember) and not with the Masters 1991 : I think October for the main tournaments (probably Paris-Bercy) and September for the challenger tournaments. But Sutter had to end his book for the Masters 1991.
His second book list ended on April 27, 2003 (I suppose in order to be presented during the Roland Garros tournament)

message: Hello Feardes.
I'm just looking at the ATP Website (Wednesday, August, 29, 2007) and I don't find either the Avis Challenge Cup (WCT) in 1976 either the Las Vegas Challenge Cup WCT in 1977 or Montego Bay in 1978 in this site. Are those tournaments in the ATP Players' Guide ? Thank you for the answer. Carlo Colussi 06:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Salisbury 70 soon added by ATP 

message: Some issues with the prose include:
*"...first final at an important tournament ..."
*"The two following years saw Năstase's apogee."
*"...one of the most spectacular of all time ." (which appears to be cited, but to a blog...)
*"In terms of public popularity, Năstase was then at the peak of his career, famous both for his technical and physical genius and for his good humour on court."
*"As usual from 1972 through 1982, very few of the best players visited the Australian continent."
*"...he played perhaps the best match of his career ..."
*"... was generally considered to be the..."

message: this section seems like a sycophantic wet dream! but i know too little about tennis, so i wouldn't feel comfortable about changing it... Myself0101 (talk) 17:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Over five years later this section still reads like it was written by Nastase's publicist. A suggestion: I see there are sources cited. It shouldn't be too hard to look them up and attribute all that praise to said sources, rather than letting it appear to be in Wikipedia's own voice. As with the other writer, I'd prefer someone more knowledgeable than me do this. Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Playing style

message: The word "distinctions" for several of these entries is just another word for "trivia", which is disencouraged by WP. I propose renaming it to something like "Firsts and records", and removing any trivia already mentioned elsewhere in the article. 173.168.177.217 (talk) 22:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The section named Distinctions 

message: This sentence doesn't make sense:
"He is the second male player to win a Grand Slam without dropping a set after Ilie Nastase and first one to achieve this feat at French Open (1973)."
Who was the first to win a Grand Slam without dropping a set?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.202.86 (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Winning a Grand Slam without dropping a set 

message: *Support. "follow the general usage in reliable sources that are written in the English language (including other encyclopedias and reference works)", per WP:DIACRITICS. This subject is extremely well-known and given by almost every English-language source without a diacritic. I get 1,310 post-2000 GBook results for "Ilie Nastase", five with a diacritic, several of which are not relevant. John Parsons' books are the top-selling tennis reference works. The current one is not online, but you can check his Ultimate Encyclopedia of Tennis (p. 45). See also Britannica, Merriam-Webster, Nastase's autobiography, New York Times, and AgerPres, the Romanian press agency. Kauffner (talk) 03:38, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Also Oppose change to lead proposed above by Fyunck(Click) to add "Ilie Năstase ... professionally known as Ilie Nastase". Such an addition is counter to WP:OPENPARA and counter WP:TENNISNAMES RfC conclusion which included that WP:STAGENAME does not apply to software limitations such as Wimbledon player registration system.

replies: text: *comment The nomination it is not based on the misunderstanding of that definition, but your vote is based on a misunderstanding of WP Diacritics, which states that a English RSs should be used to determined whether accents are used or not. Since  you haven't read the rules or understand them may I suggest you reconsider this vote. GAtechnical (talk) 20:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

text: So you're suggesting that the whole of the English speaking press are unreliable then? GAtechnical (talk) 20:56, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I am only "suggesting" that sources that do not spell correctly names that carry diacritics are not reliable sources for spellings of that name. I do not understand your campaign to have a mis-spelling used as the title of a BLP article.  Brocach (talk) 21:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd rather you didn't as it because take this to e.g. Gorges is translated to Georges in English from German. The name in question is written in German on here. Now are you suggesting that because the English translation is used in the press, which is correct I might add from studying German, is therefore unreliable as per your sweeping comment beforehand. So you must be careful before making sweeping statements. As well it is not a mis spelling if the diacritics are dropped by reliable sources, and therefore by consensus if everyone in the language follows suit. GAtechnical (talk) 22:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That last comment is so badly written and ungrammatical that I don't feel any need to respond directly to it. For others, I would add that for biographical articles, especially BLP articles, the title should be the person's actual name, not whatever the most common mangled version in the English-language press might be. Brocach (talk) 00:16, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Here "spelling names correctly" seems to imply that native language spelling is correct and English language spelling is incorrect, which turns the "use English" principle on its head. I can only imagine what would happen if this idea was applied to Chinese or Japanese names. Recognizability is the number one WP:NAMINGCRITERIA, the main point of a title really. The native name would still be given in the opening, so no information would be lost if the article was moved. Kauffner (talk) 02:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
