I prefer "notrump" rather than "no trump". To me, "notrump" is more concise; "no trump" is distracting in a bridge context. We are eliding the space in bids and cards (specifying "2♥" rather than "2 ♥"; strictly speaking the latter better represents "two hearts"), so why not use notrump as well? The article does not say it, but I think we want to use NT (e.g., "2NT", without a space) in bidding. Ray Spalding 00:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to remove the portions of this section which discuss article naming. I've started a separate page on this topic at /naming conventions, as suggested by the main page. Matchups 02:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
"Use deuce rather than two, jack rather than knave and three rather than trey." – deuce rather than two!? I suppose that is vandals work. [No, not vandals work. See below. --P64]
– Use two simply typewritten digits "10" for the ten? (ten or the ten?)
– "♠K" and ♠3 in prose?
In other words, does "♠K" mean spade king and king of spades? or the spade king and the king of spades? -- P64 ( talk) 21:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
or narration — there may be too many section headings in this Manual
These sentences or verb phrases are clear.
So are these.
But these may not be clear. Do they now have unequivocal meanings in bridge english?

The article is titled VuGraph. Four articles link to that one and all four give linkname "VuGraph".
There are no links to "Vugraph" except from WPCB and from the obsolete User:Duja/Bridge
Nor is there any link to "viewgraph". -- P64 ( talk) 16:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I wonder whether this 8-column table is easier to follow than the 5-column table Pavlicek recommends. -- P64 ( talk) 21:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Should there be recommended boilerplate wording and links such as "In the card game contract bridge ..."? -- P64 ( talk) 00:34, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Are articles on bridge people covered elsewhere?
Probably there should be some recommended features, even recommended layouts, in a big class of articles on bridge players. One is the list of important playing achievements, which many biogs do have, laid out a few years ago. -- P64 ( talk) 00:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
This article and its children, the Manual of Style broadly, will benefit from consistent use of italics, single, and double quotation marks. I think it's clear we should being with italics. When should they be used for a term in contrast to a title? -- P64 ( talk) 17:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
