I removed the below because it appears to not be an actual Hall of Fame, but rather an individuals idea of who the best juju musicians are. Tuf-Kat 05:04, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

I question the move of this page from Juju music to Jùjú music. How often is the name written with diacritics and how often without? More specifically, how often is the name written with diacritics in Nigeria itself? Common English usage should be our guide. Unfortunately, no Google test is possible, as Google doesn't distinguish words with or without accents (or at least I don't know how to make it do so). But all the hits I get lack the diacritical marks. BrianSmithson19:58, 7 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for this comment. You're right, Google very rarely has "juju" with the tone marks (I checked this), but I used the title of the Yoruba article as a model and thought it would be the proper way to spell it, of course fixing all links and making disambiguation redirects. The most authoritative book on the subject has it with the tone marks as well. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226874656/002-2208774-5223219?v=glance&st=*
Even Résumé has accents in the title. I don't know how often it's spelled with tone marks in Nigeria (everyone there knows how it's pronounced without them, anyway), but I'm guessing that if you're writing about it in school or university (or a newspaper) you'd use them, and if you were writing informally you'd save time and not.
