Nicknames and quotes

In articles such as Jessica Pegula, we don't put standard shortened nicknames in quotes. Some of this is explained at Wikipedia:Using nicknames. If the article title was at Jessie, then there are different ways to handle it, but it's not. Plus she has registered with the ITF under the name Jessica, not Jessie. The same sort of deal with Cori Gauff. Coco is not a standard shortening, but the article is also not at Coco and she has registered under Cori. If she changes her official ITF name to Coco, then we have a different situation. Then we might consider the quotation. Thanks. Also re-editing your reverts under an anon IP such as 2600:1005:b040:fefd:86e8:d3ee:dee5:6fc3 is not condoned at Wikipedia. I advise you to stop that instantly. Thanks.

August 2019

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Cori Gauff. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. This was explained on your talk page, my talk page, and the Cori Gauff archives. Please stop the disruptive editing.

As a side note, this type of continual disruption (along with more disruption at the Jessica Pegula article) will get you blocked, both Princeofearth and any IP edits you choose to make. Please think about this. We'd rather have passionate editors that work well with others, than have blocked editors. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:09, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fyunck(click) Are you the owner of Wikipedia and whatever you say goes? Let's see proof then! We obviously have a difference of opinion on Wikipedia's interpretation of how to properly use the person's nickname on their Wikipedia page. You interpret it as one way and I interpret the instructions another way. The fact that you are completely disregarding and leaving out critical information about these tennis players from their Wikipedia pages shows you don't care to include something as important as their nickname even though they prefer to use their nicknames on their official Twitter and Instagram profiles instead of their legal name and I tried to add a Skincare business that one of them opened up and it was deleted also. If there is a dispute form then let's take this to that form because I think you are wrong!

You have been reverted by editors other than me. I have shown you an administrator's opinion on the situation yet still you persist in disrupting wikipedia. You can bring it up on the talk page but the disruption should not remain until it's overturned by consensus. I have tried this on your talk page and my talk page but it seems to be going in one ear and out the other. And so as not to be taken by surprise, I am reporting this to administration to let them handle this. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am another editor who has come by this argument. Princeofearth - you say you are interpreting the instructions, but the way I read them you are not. In particular, MOS:HYPOCORISM says If a person has a common English-language hypocorism (diminutive or abbreviation) used in lieu of a given name, it is not presented between quotation marks or parentheses into or after their name, and the linked page explicitly shows that Jessie, a short form of Jessica, is a hypocorism. What have you seen that contradicts this? Dorsetonian (talk) 09:49, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dorsetonian Jess would be a proper abbreviation for Jessica and I know several people named Jessica that are called Jess for short. Jessie is not an abbreviation in my opinion of Jessica because it totally changes the name and adds an e at the end. It should be treated as a nickname and according to Wikipedia a commonly used nickname should appear in double quotations. You seem to have a different point of view about the name so why can't my point of view be included on the Wikipedia page for this person instead of removing my edit and reverting it? I read on Wikipedia that an edit should not be removed just because another editor has a different point of view about it with an exception being vandalism and my edits certainly do not fit the profile of Vandelism. I am trying to make constructive edits and add vital content to Wikipedia. If you look at the Wikipedia page for CoCo Vandeweghe when the biography starts off it has her full legal name and CoCo which is a nickname is in double quotations yet when I put nicknames in double quotations my edits get removed and reverted.
