Your revert on Ted Hughes
editRegarding this revert, as stated in the Manual of Style section at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Nicknames, a nickname is only included in quotes if "it is not a common hypocorism". This rule is observed at such featured articles as Charlie Chaplin, Alec Douglas-Home, Tom Driberg, Walt Disney, Tom Derrick, Bill Denny. Bob Feller, Terry Fox and many others. The formatting can be done done differently, as at Bob Dylan, but putting an obvious hypocorism (such as "Ted" for Edward) in quotes is generally not regarded as an option.

Your revert on Ninon de l'Enclos
editI've restored my edit on Ninon de l'Enclos. The relevant policy is not WP:DICT but WP:LINK - unlike, for example, the word "author", the word "courtesan" is not a common word (see here for evidence), and it's reasonable to assume that many readers—particularly those whose first language is not English—would benefit from having the word linked. — The Anome (talk) 09:13, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- WP articles are not there to explain to people what common nouns mean. They can look it up in a dictionary. Anna (talk) 01:37, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
