Talk:Emelia Gorecka

Name
I have reinstated a reference to the fact that Emelia herself spells her surname Górecka rather than Gorecka. Another contributor had deleted this, stating that ‘since she was born in Britain and represents this country, we shouldn't use diacritics here’. I disagree. There are other cases where people born in the UK include some type of accent in the spelling of their surname, and we use the style which they prefer: examples are the politician Lembit Öpik and the singer Emeli Sandé. Personally I am happy for the article to include ‘Gorecka’ in the title but I think that the text should include a reference to the fact that she spells her surname Górecka. More importantly, I think we need to include a specific reference to the fact that she disapproves of the way some BBC commentators pronounce her surname: she prefers the ‘Polish’ pronunciation which is more akin to ‘guretska’ than to ‘gorecka’.

 * Thanks for the info. I didn't know that before I made the change. In the US people usually do away with any kind of diacritics. (See for example Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was actually born in Poland.) If it is different in the UK then I guess we can keep the Polish spelling. Pietaster (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have removed the accented version again. We have no source for this at all. If this was a profound point for the athlete, then you would think she would have listed her name differently on her personal website. SFB 13:22, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

DELIGHTFUL ROTATION?

Is this a typo, or what the heck is it supposed to mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.34.6 (talk) 16:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
