[edit] Spelling

This page was created with a probably made up spelling of Rafael Álvarez. Likely just pulled out of thin air. At the very least, that spelling differs from that used on the subjects own web page, and from that used in all the pre-existing links that were turned from red to blue by creation of this article, except for two of them referring to a different person, a Spanish diver.

Wow so much for assume good faith and civil tone. I created the page yesterday and came across pages that used both spellings - the first place I looked was iMDB which uses the accent, I figured omission of the accented A was due to word processing laziness in some sources and created the page with the accent.--Opark 77 10:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Some sources? Looks like you used a zillion of them without the accent. Pretty clear how he is best known. I didn't notice any iMDB link, either; is there one on the page? Gene Nygaard 13:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

FYI: In any case, the sort keys for categories, whether added individually or through the magic words DEFAULTSORT or the listas template parameter, SHOULD NOT INCLUDE ANY LETTERS OTHER THAN THE 26 LETTERS of the English language. No diacritics of any sort. hey can also include numbers; most punctuation marks should be stripped, though a comma and space separates surname from given name for people.

Thank you for the advice about using default sort, I'm not sure about how you typed a "rule" in all caps then contradicted it afterwards. Can you point me in the direction of a guideline that gives this information in a more readable and logical manner?

There is no iMDb link in the article but it was my very first port of call when I started writing it as it's a good way to get a quick list of a TV writers credits that you can then back-up by corroboration with other more reliable sources. Here's the link should you require it [1]. There are only twenty three sources on the article so a zillion is an inappropriate exagerration. I didn't say "some sources" use the accent anywhere in my reply I said I came across both spellings and explained why I used the accent. I have no problem with the article being moved and welcome your edits to my work, but I expect a civil tone and the assumption of good faith by any editor I come across and you gave neither.--Opark 77 16:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I have now added an iMDb link in external links.--Opark 77 16:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
