Talk:Victoria de los Ángeles

message: Note to user Friviere: With all due respect, I have undone your renaming of this page. This singer is known in the music world as "Victoria de los Ángeles" and that is how we should refer to her in conformance with Wikipedia naming principles. However, I have added the Catalan version of her name in the first sentence and there is of course a redirect from Victòria dels Àngels. This may not be ideal from your point of view but I hope that it is acceptable. -- Viajero 20:26, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  I cannot agree 

message: It is not only that she chose to "market" herself as Victoria de los Ángeles, but that there ISN'T the slightest evidence that she EVER called herself by a Catalan version of this name, or that anybody except Catalan separatists ever called her thus. WHY should these people be allowed to impose their invented reality on the rest of the world?? 
Although the usually seen birth surnames of Gómez Cima are given in Wikipedia's article, EMI's notes to their newest re-issue of her recording of Spanish Zarzuela songs states that her authentic surnames were actually López García.
Neither Gómez Cima nor López García are Catalan surnames. Her parents were both from Málaga, in the Southern Spanish region of Andalusia. And she looked, of course, every inch an Andalusian! Tantris 02:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed inconsistencies in the accent on the "A" in "Angeles."  Does anyone know which it should be? - Casadesus  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casadesus (talk • contribs) 03:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Spanish version of her name (the one that she herself used), the accent on the A would be like an acute accent in French — Á. However, the accent was often not placed on the letter, even in official and quasi-official places such as on her own records, a biography approved by her.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.85.147 (talk) 22:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't think that she, or her marketing people, did decide to use the accent because it is not usually written that way. I think the article would be better without it, to be honest, although this is a small point. 5 May 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.85.147 (talk) 16:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Victoria de los Angeles biography missing reference 

message: I would like to remind editors that claims of prestige, world greatness etc, even when sourced, are neither neutral nor objective, but highly unencyclopedic. Last change by 83.217.172.37 (17:27, 3 July 2009) is not acceptable. Please refrain from making such changes. --Karljoos (talk) 19:26, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Some refs say her birth name was Victoria Gomez Cima, to a father named Bernardo Lopez Gomez.  We say something quite different.  What's the story?  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 05:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
