A few tweaks
Why is the accent removed from Verón's name? We don't need to follow the sloppy practices of journalists.

If people don't mind my edits, I may be able to get to the rest of the article at some point.

I restrained myself on most of my pet peeves that were in the article, but I couldn't help changing "madame", which I dislike intensely, to "madam". "Madam" in this sense is much more common than "madame" in books, as you can see in this ngram comparison. However, "madame" isn't wrong, and if anyone changes it back, I'll leave it. &mdash;JerryFriedman (Talk) 20:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * According to WP:DIACRITICS, "The use of modified letters (such as accents or other diacritics) in article titles is neither encouraged nor discouraged; when deciding between versions of a word which differ in the use or non-use of modified letters, follow the general usage in reliable sources that are written in the English language (including other encyclopedias and reference works). The policy on using common names and on foreign names does not prohibit the use of modified letters, if they are used in the common name as verified by reliable sources." A good number of the sources I have dug up on this topic are low quality, but BBC definitely qualifies as RS. Unfortunately, the n-gram viewer yields nothing.  The U.S. Dept. of State does not use the diacritics, likewise with CNN  and from the Trafficking in Persons report here: . Note also the spelling of Tucuman province.


 * "Madam" is fine with me. According to M-W madam is the head of a house of prostitution while madame is a title. Not that M-W is definitive, but it's free and it's online, and if someone else feels strongly about it they can research it more thoroughly themselves.


 * I appreciate your work on this. I only had time to do a first draft translation, and I did it quickly, as Marita's mother was nominated for the Nobel prize, but I thought it important to have something immediately available in English, no matter how rough.

 * And I appreciate your work in translating the article, without which we'd have nothing.
 * (The second definition of "madame" at M-W links to the "head of a house of prostitution" definition of "madam". However, it sounds as if we don't have anything to argue about.) &mdash;JerryFriedman  (Talk) 04:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
