Hi all,

It's not a subject where we get too many complaints, but on occasion. In 
Papers2, we have hard-coded a number of name particles and have tried to decide 
what rule to apply to each (dropping or non-dropping) based on usage. I realize 
the rule can change for the same particle, as some particles are the same in 
different languages, and even worse, the rules can differ when used in 
different countries. In any case, I was curious to hear your feedback on that 
topic. Please let me know if it's been beaten to death in a previous thread. I 
have seen a few threads in searching the mailing list, but no extensive 
discussion.

I am listing here all the particles Papers2 detect. The particles are 
decomposed in the dropping part + non-dropping part (either can be empty of 
course). Note we also correct the capitalization.

I think we have the 'al', 'el', wrong.
