Talk:Txiki Begiristain

Spelling of the name
I've moved this article from Txiki Beguiristáin because, as 91.84.219.129 has correcly pointed out, the name was spelled incorrectly. The spelling "Begiristain" is consistently used by El País, punctilious in these matters, and is also the spelling found in Spanish Wikipedia. It is true that "Beguiristain" is sometimes seen in the Spanish press, but this seems to be a Castilianization which, though widespread, is erroneous. Googling for the two spellings reveals an enormous majority of spellings without the U, and many of those with the U are English-language sites whose authors might well have been misled by this lamentable (though understandable) error in Wikipedia.AdeMiami (talk) 17:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
