== [[Ioannes Petrus Thiollet]] ==
You may have noticed that an anonymous editor, either [[Ioannes Petrus Thiollet|the above in person]] or his best friend, has been spamming references to him with increasing enthusiasm, mostly in articles about music. Anonymity in such cases usually suggests a conflict of interest. I have just removed most of those references. I would trust your judgment on this: if you feel that any of my edits over the last hour should be reverted, because the references I deleted are really useful, please revert me!

:That's fine. We hardly need someone's recent memoirs as a source for the fact that DunuDinu Lipatti was a pianist! Whose birthname, btw, according to Wikipedia, was ''Constantin''[''us''], and ''Dinu'' is a nickname. How should Vicipaedia handle that? There may still be no consensus about how to specify brithnames, nicknames, pen names, stage names, and the like.

::Evidently the creator of this page wasn't aware of the etymology (nor was I). Our normal practice is to resolve abbreviated forenames into the Latin version of the real or official name that they represent. If the abbreviated forename doesn't correspond to the subject's real or official name, then I don't think we have a rule: we sort of do what comes naturally :) [[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby|disputatio]]) 12:45, 3 Aprilis 2020 (UTC)
