Editing Nickname (section)

== Various language conventions ==
English nicknames are generally represented in quotes between the bearer's first and last names (e.g., ''[[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower]]'' and ''[[Bubba Franks|Daniel Lamont "Bubba" Franks]]''). It is also common for the nickname to be identified after a comma following the full real name or later in the body of the text, such as in an obituary (e.g., ''[[Frankie Frisch|Frankie Frisch, "The Fordham Flash"]]''). Any middle name is generally omitted, especially in speech. Like English, German uses (German-style) quotation marks between the first and last names (e.g., ''[[Niki Lauda|Andreas Nikolaus „Niki“ Lauda]]''). Other languages may use other conventions; for example, Italian writes the nickname after the full name followed by ''detto'' "called" (e.g., ''[[Salvatore Schillaci|Salvatore Schillaci detto Totò]]''), in Spanish the nickname is written in formal contexts at the end in quotes following ''alias'' (e.g. ''Alfonso Tostado, alias «el Abulense»''), in Portuguese the nickname is written after the full name followed by ''vulgo'' or between parenthesis (e.g. [[Pelé|Edson Arantes do Nascimento, vulgo Pelé]] / Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pelé)) and Slovenian represents nicknames after a dash or hyphen (e.g., ''[[Franc Rozman – Stane]]''). The latter may confuse because it resembles an English convention sometimes used for [[married and maiden names]].
