Isn't there supose to be "Colón" instead of "Colon"? (the o changes to ó)

I've changed all redirects as to point to "Carlitos Colón". Changing "Colon" to "Colón" is understandable (there is, indeed, a big difference... better to pass as a descendant of Columbus than as a large intestine...), but the "Carlitos" part most United States readers won't necessarily be aware of.

[edit] The Headline name...

He is always known has Carlos Colón, not Carly. The one who is known as Carly is his son, Carlito(Caribbean Cool). I think the name should be change so that it's stays true to how the puerto ricans came to know him by and that is Carlos Colón.

• I agree, and this deserves a vote... Demf 16:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• I agree also, and growing up in Puerto Rico I know that everybody here calls him Carlos Colon, even Carlitos Colon was a more appropiate name.

I sense that "Carlos Colón" should be the entry's name. If no one objects, I'll change it myself soon. 136.145.192.75 15:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
