Improper Italicization
[edit]There is also no grammatical or historic reason to italicize former German names of now- Russian localities in the area Of East Prussia ceded to the postwar Soviet Union by the Potsdam Conference. In English, italics usually denote foreign (non-English) words for things or concepts, but not place names. Prior to 1945, Neman was officially Ragnit, not Ragnit, and the German name should not be italicized. Sca (talk) 14:55, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
It is Wikipedia convention to emphasize alternate names at first use, [...] and to italicize foreign or historic names [...].
