[edit] Merger

I have discussed the possibility of a merger on my userpage and in discussions with other editors, but I have never gotten around to actually placing merger tags on the articles. I favor a merger, as long as all the information is retained and redirects are made. The problem, of course, is that while the Huei tlamahuiçoltica is the actual name of the work, many scholars, priests, wikipedia articles, etc. refer primarily (if not only) to the Nican mopohua. So many redirects will have to be bypassed or many articles will have to be edited if the proposed merger is enacted.--Rockero 22:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

The title at the top of the illustration reads Nican mopohua, motecpana inquenin yancuican huei tlamahuiçoltica monexiti inçenquizca ichpochtli Sancta Maria Dios ynantzin toçihuapillatocatzin, in oncan tepeyacac motenehua Guadalupe. If this is the title of the book, it should be given in the article (with its translation). It is, um, strange to have an article about a book that gives only a piece of its title (and not a very informative one, at that)... Jorge Stolfi 23:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

The "illustration" is not the title page, but you are correct, the article's title is abridged from the actual title. I've been meaning to add an image of the actual title page, too, which is much more attractive. So I'll see what I can do.--Rockero 20:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
IMO, it would be better to remove the elipsis from the article name since it is commonly refered like that anyway. The elipsis just make the title look akward and don't quite follow MoS guidelines, if memory serves me well. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 14:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't know what the policy is, but you may be right about the ellipsis being unnecessary to indicate the abberviation of the title. Compare A Modest Proposal.--Rockero 19:27, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
