The later discussion of quotes is for names that ''differ'' from the article title, such as John F. "Jack" Kennedy, who is most commonly referred to as John F., but for whom "Jack" was a very common nickname. Readers would not know that "Jack" was his nickname just from reading the article title; the situation at Tom Brady is much different in that way.

Hey, you've been showing up in my watchlist a lot recently. I suppose we have overlapping interests! May I ask that you consider using [[WP:EDITSUM|edit summaries]]? They're helpful for those reviewing changes.

Disambiguation link notification for August 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jerry Vaflor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Filipino (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Regarding the inclusion of "Tom" in the first sentence of this entry, we're reading the same guideline and the same paragraph - just different parts of it, and we're interpreting it to apply to different situations. My point comes from the first sentence of the paragraph: "The name of a person is presented in full if known, including any given names that are not included in the article's title or are abbreviated there." The given name Tom is explicitly stated in the article title, so it's unnecessary.
The later discussion of quotes is for names that differ from the article title, such as John F. "Jack" Kennedy, who is most commonly referred to as John F., but for whom "Jack" was a very common nickname. Readers would not know that "Jack" was his nickname just from reading the article title; the situation at Tom Brady is much different in that way. EricEnfermero (Talk) 06:04, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
