I have transcribed the name. I hope that's the right thing. Ambush Commander 02:01, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
- By "transcribing" you mean stripping off the accent? Actually, I think de facto standard operating procedure is to include diacritical marks in personal names when used as article titles, at least as regards "everyday" western languages (á, ë, ì û, õ, etc.) where the diacriticals don't pose a technical obstacle. But, after having searched on a previous occasion, you'll probably not find it set down in stone in the style manual or editing guides. –Hajor 02:15, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cesar River and Cesar department
It appears that Cesar the geographical term is not accented as is the first name César. It is a different word. Bejnar 22:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarized?
Hey, I noticed that the entry for Quesada is taken word for word from his page on Discoverers Web[1]. This would count as plagiarism, right? Just bringing this to your attention. Robfrules 14:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I may be more than just plagiarism, it is likely a copyright violation. The Discovers Web article appeared at least by 26 May 2000, see the list at Internet Archive: "Discoverers Web: Quesada" at Internet Archive. This Wikipedia article on Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada was first posted on October 2003 by an IP editor 64.222.16.222, whose other contributions then were the Rafael Núñez and El Dorado (legend) articles which might also have been lifted from elsewhere. The Rafael Núñez article is now Rafael Núñez (politician), but I didn't find a electronic source for his text using Google. The El Dorado article is now at El Dorado and seems not to be contaminated. --Bejnar 18:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
