[edit] Proposed merge

• Cihuacóatl is the same term as Cihuacoatl. My understanding is that the English Wikipedia typically does not use the Spanish-accented versions for Nahuatl. --Dystopos 15:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

The merge in fact already exists, and the statement that the cihuacoatl functionary was a woman is nonsensical and should be removed. Retal 00:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The merge did not "already exist" -- the PROPOSAL to merge existed, which is not the same thing. I performed the merge. Please, if the content in the current article is wrong, remove it and cite sources with footnotes. Thanks. -- phoebe (brassratgirl) /(talk) 22:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Despite the fact that references are listed on this page (merged in from Cihuacóatl) I'm leaving the unreferenced tag, as statements need to be cited down to the page with footnotes due to the controversy above. Any other references, further reading etc that could be added is welcome. -- phoebe (brassratgirl) /(talk) 22:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
