Whenever a dwarf changes status such as becoming Mayor, or Wrestler, Marksdwarf, etc his/her nickname sometime reverts to original name.

I've only ever seen this happen when I assigned the dwarf's nickname through an external utility such as Dwarf Manager, and even then it only resets when military dwarves gain extended names from notable kills - when I assign them normally in-game, they persist properly.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
