Talk:El Castillo, Chichen Itza

message: As "El Castillo" is a rather common nickname for large structures, perhaps this should be moved to "El Castillo, Chichen Itza" or something similar? -- Infrogmation 16:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, think we need a dab title here (there's also a highlands site in the Cotzumalhuapa region called El Castillo, for eg). There'd be the same problem for its alternative familiar name, Temple of K'uk'ulkan. I think your suggestion, El Castillo, Chichen Itza, should be fine, its formal designation as Chichen Itza Structure 5B18 is perhaps too obscure.--cjllw | TALK 01:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, hv moved it to new title per your suggestion.--cjllw | TALK 03:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we need this article? The same information is found in the Chichen Itza entry. Can't visitors to Wikipedia searching for El Castillo be directed to the Chichen Itza page instead of maintaining the same information in two places?CoyoteMan31 12:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO there's sufficient expansion scope for this notable structure to sustain its own article- although yes, in practice at the moment there is considerable overlap with the main Chichen Itza article. Both articles could readily be extended, there's a lot of info on both not yet covered. Ideally, the Chichen article would give the overview on the main features and structures associated with the site, while the subarticles carry the details & specifics. I don't think it does any harm to have this one here, even if only as a sketch awaiting further work. --cjllw ʘ TALK 14:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Needed?

message: Calliopejen1 requested that the Spanish entry for El Castillo be translated for this one. I took a shot at it, but much of the Spanish version of this entry is cobbled together from sources that range from expert to, in my opinion, pure speculation. I translated the first third, then gave up, because I was doing as much rewriting and correcting as translating. I'm happy to send over to anyone the work I've done so far if someone else wants to attempt a translation. CoyoteMan31 (talk) 22:58, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Other languages in Wikipedia use a variation of “Kukulcan” in the article’s title, including Spanish. It feels weird that  English Wikipedia uses a Spanish term for a Mesoamerican pyramid when even Spanish Wikipedia does not do this, using a native name instead.
Also, my personal impression is that the name “El Castillo” is much less recognizable than “Kukulcan” by the average person. The Spanish name is confusing, as there are  other structures named something similar to “El Castillo” around the world, while there’s only one famous “Temple of Kukulcan”.
