Nicknames

Hi there. I wanted to explain why I reverted a recent edit of yours. Per MOS:NICKNAME, we generally don't include unnecessary nicknames in the opening sentence. If someone is well-known as "Bill", for example, we don't have to alert users to the fact that this is short for "William". It's pretty obvious to anyone familiar with English naming customs.

Your hatnote for the Halsey (singer) article

Hello. I reverted your addition, because "Halsey" does not actually redirect to Halsey (singer). —BarrelProof (talk) 22:12, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
