Contractions

Hi there. I noticed you've been making edits to remove contractions. Is there a rule somewhere that this is meant to enforce? — Bdb484 (talk) 20:05, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there is. The only acceptable place for contractions are in quotations from other sources. This is covered under WP:Contraction. Lizabetha (talk) 20:13, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Never saw that before. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 00:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

My pleasure. Almost EVERYTHING that might be questionable is covered under some rule or another. Sometimes, it's a matter of asking the right question! :) Lizabetha (talk) 00:59, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Flag Icon removal error

You made an error (which I corrected) in removing player flags at 2015 Rafael Nadal tennis season. That is exactly what they are for per WP Flag Icons. Tennis players play in international events whether it's Wimbledon, Davis Cup or the Olympics. We use flags only for the players, not for locations or events. Thanks.

I refer you to WP:WORDPRECEDENCE, the first line of which states, most pertinently to the use of flag icons in articles as it is in the Nadal article: "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country, government, or nationality – such as military units, government officials, or national sports teams. In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself." A tennis player does not represent his or her home country, government or nationality in any way whatsoever in the way in which it is stated in this policy. It also does not reference use of flag icons in a table in the way it is used in the same articles, UNLESS the play is as a member of a Davis Cup or on a national Olympic team. I'm afraid you are wrong to reverse my removal. Lizabetha (talk) 12:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
