"Ola"?

edit

I changed the intro [1], having discovered that Ola is actually her middle name, not a nickname as it said before. This is the view taken by two of the external links [2] [3]. However, Philip Stevens (talk · contribs) has changed it back [4]. What is the evidence that these two pages are wrong? -- Smjg 01:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Here's the problem with those links. I put the first one on imdb but they removed the inverted commas for some reason, also blogs aren't used as sources on Wikipedia. The reason why I put Ola in inverted commas is because they are used in this press release. It is possible that the BBC has it wrong (it wouldn't be the first time) so if you feel Ola is her middle and not her nickname, feel free to remove the inverted commas. I should point out that I reverted your placing of her maiden name as it went against the WP:MOS. --Philip Stevens 09:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see. But I'm puzzled that you included a nickname at all when submitting her birth name to IMDb. True, people do sometimes have nicknames even before they're born, but do such things really count as part of a birth name? -- Smjg 17:50, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're quite right, which is prehaps the reason why the inverted commas were removed. --Philip Stevens 20:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
It's customary for Polish children to choose an extra name after confirmation. Could well be that Ola wasn't her name at birth, but now is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.151.63 (talk) 08:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ola is the diminutive version of Aleksandra in Poland, no different from Alexandra being shortened to Alex in England.Gingernut1015 (talk) 08:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
No different? "Alexandra" actually begins with "Alex", whereas the string "Ola" doesn't occur in "Aleksandra" anywhere. -- Smjg (talk) 21:42, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
IMDb certainly shouldn't be altering what you enter - that would be a bug. It should either leave what you typed alone or report an error. But it's been a while, so FAIK they may have fixed it by now. -- Smjg (talk) 21:42, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
