[edit] Requested move: Caracol, Belize to Caracol

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request.

• Administrative; match existing standards: Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza, Cacaxtla, Altun Ha, etc. It's not even for disambig purposes: Caracol redirects here.

[edit] Discussion

• Supported and requested by –Hajor 13:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• I created the page at "Caracol, Belize" as I guessed that a common noun in Spanish was likely to be the name of more than one place, but as nothing needing disambiguation seems to have surfaced, the proposed move is fine by me. -- Infrogmation 04:49, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Done. Thanks. I now need to do some dabbing with Caracol TV, which has a fair number of links pointing here. –Hajor 13:50, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of sentence.

I removed the sentence "Caracol is also a very well known gay, that contributed hardly to the recognition of the gay and homossexual rights " from the beginning of this article on the Mayan city of Caracol, as it did not seem to be either relevant to the topic or appropriately placed. If someone has more information on this other meaning of Caracol, perhaps creating a seperate article or a disambiguity page or something would be more hepful.

[edit] Other places named Caracol

Caracol is actually the name of more than one place for example there is the Caracol at Chichen Itza. So if anyone could insert a general definition/description of caracol that would be great!(----)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Onekacz (talk • contribs) 12 October 2007

Hi, yes there are other places called "(El) Caracol". At the top of this article is what is called a 'hatnote', which directs to the disambiguation page El Caracol that lists alternative meanings for Caracol. The Caracol at Chichen Itza is listed there.
