Spelling

Should this page name start with a C or a K? The list of Maya sites has with C and no accent on the final a. German wiki starts name with a C. English news media all using the K spelling with an accent. A web search turned up no references to the spelling with a C.

Note that German wiki page has more details and appears ripe for translation to this page. Commons has some more pictures, so I just removed the "image request" tag, as believe problem solved with inclusion of image. Iowajason (talk) 18:06, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Iowajason, If "a web search turned up no references to the spelling with a C", then we should not use a C. Thanks for working on this article a bit! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:23, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

The Spanish language wiki uses the K spelling and gives the etymological roots, so appears authoritative. I will update the list page shortly. Iowajason (talk) 23:11, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Transwiki

Augmented this article using information on German language Wikipedia and Spanish language Wikipedia. Some observations and areas that may need improvement.

1. Neither German language or Spanish language pages particularly well foot noted. Tried to find sources, but still opportunities to improve.
2. Site section ordering of C-B-A for archeological areas driven by chronology of discovery. German Wiki also uses a non-alphabetic sorting of sites, so that was imported.
3. German term 'Thetec' translated to 'Tolmec' based on preliminary internet searches.
4. German phrase 'Snakes of Thetec' left as 'Snakes of Tolmec'.
5. German phrase 'Chaacmasks' translated to Chaac masks (disaggregated word and referenced particular Maya diety). Seems unlikely to mean the surface of Jupiter
6. German phrase 'Chenes-Stil' didn't get well resolved. The referenced German article appears to include it as a subculture of the Maya, similar to the Puuc, but couldn't translate.
7. Spanish site references Wikidata as Q113197. Opportunity to tie together, but not currently on English site.

Seem like easy article enhancements for someone who knows the details. Iowajason (talk) 23:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Added Authority Control template, with no arguments, to help with Wikidata. Reference number noted above, but not yet used on page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iowajason (talk • contribs) 01:29, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
