Talk:Josep Comas i Solà

Mistake
The surname "Solá" is written wrongly, it's Solà (with "open" accent). This surname is catalan and in this language the accentuated form of "a" is always "à", never "á".
 * Is Solá an older convention? The comet named after him is written Comas Solá rather than Comas Solà, suggesting that Solá might've been used at the time.  Otherwise, it would be an odd error Nik42 (talk) 23:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Josep Comas Solà → Josep Comas i Solà –

Correct surname, as used in Spanish and Catalan wikipedias. A Spanish university held annually a Josep Comas i Sola International Summer School in Astrobiology, note the "i" in the name. In Manresa there is a street named after him and it also has the "i". Used by this person to sign his works while he was alive. Comets named after him had the "i" removed to comply with International Astronomer Union naming guidelines. --Enric Naval (talk) 08:17, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Unsure, I would like to see what if any English language sources call it. --ZooFamily (talk) 00:08, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - have added ref from latest Baedeker's Barcelona, we should give Catalan bio names correctly just as per other Spanish name WP:RMs. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
