El Matador
editSays El Matador means The Bullfighter which is not the case- it means The Killer- the matador is the final bull fighter that delivers the death blow to the bull- that is the context within which he is called The Matador- not the Anglicised version- 2A00:23C4:7F91:8401:7016:8DA7:B810:DF3D (talk) 18:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Édinson
editShouldn't his name be Édinson? The pronunciation is obviously on the antepenultimate syllable in which case the accented vowel should be adorned with an acute. Splićanin (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- His name is whatever his parents called him on his birth certificate, whether that follows spelling and grammatical rules or not. Look what the parents of his contemporary Cristhian Stuani did to their boy's name. Unknown Temptation (talk) 21:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
