[edit] Why accent in Ever?

Ever is a Scottish name so there's no need for an accent there. I'm surprised because Argentinian press doesn't put accent in Ever and normally Wikipedia take this into account - sometimes, even if it's wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ECanalla (talk • contribs) 14:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, the name should not have a diacritic mark. -- Alexf^{(Talk/Contribs)} 17:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

May be the Spanish speaker changed the sound of that word, or written in Spanish way. Matthew_hk tc 19:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

It should have an accent, and all the Spanish press puts the accent on. Basically, in the Latin American media, like the French media, there is a tendency not to put an accent on upper case letters. However, the accent is still there, it is simply often not shown typographically.

Wikipedia is not trying to reflect differences in the way that newspapers choose to write a diacritic on an upper-case letters. In French you rarely would, yet no one would suggest taking the diacritic off, eg Émile Zola, even in the French version of Wikipedia. Just because the media may prefer to follow their own standards does not mean that Wikipedia should follow suit.193.200.176.30 (talk) 15:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not true that all the Spanish media put an accent on Ever; and about the Latin American media that's not true at all either. Look information about Ángel Matute Morales for instance and you'll see an accent there in his name - and this is only an example. It's always the same. If an Italian has a kid in a Spanish speaking country, some press or people will put an accent in their name (if it is requiered according to Spanish grammar) and that will be totally wrong. For instance Ángel Di Maria, which is an Italian surname but people put wrongly an accent. I think there's a lot to talk about this topic. But, anyway, I think the important thing here is that Ever is not Spanish at all. You will never see Dávid or Míchael (Spanish would require it), so that's why I don't understand the "Éver" thing.

[edit] Internet sex scandal

I added a section on the recent news. Éver's misadventures in front of a webcam is all over the papers... See [1]. Even the serious non-tabloids such as Levante-EMV [2] are covering it, and it has appeared on Spanish and Argentina TV.

Why then has what I wrote about it yesterday been removed? Why is it any less newsworthy than, say, Leslie Grantham? Not only has it been rolled back, but I cannot even undo the amendment in the history. Tris2000 (talk) 14:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

there's a bit about something similar on Ashley Young's page, surely it can stay on this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.96.45 (talk) 08:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I restored the info with the Daily Telegraph as a source.King of the NorthEast 08:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
