Top 300[edit]

Top 300 is a magazine published yearly by the economics newspqper Capital which appears always in November, so the indication about the number in april was not apropriate. It reached now the 3rd or 4th edition and a lot of comments take place around the Top yearly. Ion Ţiriac was always a top presence, until this year he was considered the second wealthiest romanian after Iosif Constantin Drăgan. I know that because I've read all editions except the one that jus appeared this year. It is true that www.capital.ro is a page requiring subscription, but I think they must be cited because they are the source of information. --Orioane 00:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What about Vilas?[edit]

The content of this article as at April 2 2017 contains the following error: The list of Doubles titles for Ion Tiriac twice counts the same victory with Guillermo Vilas at Tehran, Iran on October 3, 1977 [listed as doubles Victory #16 and #17. 67.225.32.32 (talk) 15:00, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The name of this article should be changed to "Ion Tiriac" because that is the name used on the English-language websites of the official governing bodies of tennis, which are the Association of Tennis Professionals and the International Tennis Federation. This is also the name used on the English-language website of Davis Cup. Finally, this is the name used on the English-language website of the only Grand Slam tournament he won, the French Open (Roland Garros) men's doubles.

Ion Țiriac → Ion Tiriac – As per WP:ENGLISH and WP:NAME particularly when it says that article titles must be in the English name. From WP Diacritics when deciding between versions of a word which differ in the use or non-use of modified letters, follow the general usage in reliable sources that are written in the English language. So there we go that's the general usage covered as BBC, Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Mail et al. All English Language sources all RS and none of them use diacritics. Also for this one I think this is the most useful article on the subject which would suggest that Ț wouldn't be acceptable as it appears that it is not an English diacritic.

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
  • Oppose Per many discussions and per WP:DIACRITICS. Diacritics do not make a name non-english. And just dropping them is a spelling error. So the article as it is currently titled is appropriate. -DJSasso (talk) 12:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per previous RM outcomes. Many English-language sources will omit diacritics for technical reasons, but it behooves us as an international encyclopedia to properly represent names, especially for BLPs. --BDD (talk) 18:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: the sole advocate of this and other proposals to Anglicise Romanian names simply ignores the outcome of previous lengthy discussions. Any biographical article should be titled with the correct spelling of the name, with redirects for those too dim to cope with correct spellings. Brocach (talk) 00:39, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to close With the nominator indefinitely blocked and little chance of consensus for his or her position, an administrator should consider whether there's any value in letting this RM run further. --BDD (talk) 15:18, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Any additional comments:

@DJ how is Ț English? How is it a spelling error it is not in the English language. GAtechnical (talk) 12:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You've stumbled onto one of the biggest debates on Wikipedia and the wiki is split about 50/50 on the issue after many RfCs on the matter. The problem is that a Ț is not a T. So just dropping the mark below does not make it correct. That isn't how you transliterate a name to English. Ț isn't a part of the English alphabet but it is a part of the English orthography. It is a mistake that many people make. Basically it means the while Ț isn't a part of the English alphabet it is part of the English language. -DJSasso (talk) 12:29, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How can something not be part of the alphabet but part of the language. Only Emily and Cafe are entitled to have an accent in the English language. Additionally although this would from your comment create an outright war, scrap name diacritics and English and rewrite the bloody hypercritical lot. It's just gaming atm. GAtechnical (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because a language is made up of two parts the Alphabet and the Orthography. Diacritics and accents etc are part of the Orthography. And just to point out those aren't the only two words that use accents in the English language. -DJSasso (talk) 13:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not stupid thank you, just that those two are the most common. Although I think this is the most useful article on the subject which would suggest that Ț wouldn't be acceptable. GAtechnical (talk) 13:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
