Title of the article
[edit]The Portuguese name "Encontro das Águas" was translated literally as "The Meeting of the Waters". I think this is not the best translation nor title. First, as the Portuguese article, it should not have "The" in front, it is not Wiki style. Second, a best word for translating "encontro" in this context is "rendezvous", so I do think the article should be rename as Rendezvous of waters. Just Google and see this is the most common translation[1] so by Wiki rules, the article name should be changed. Alternatively, there is merit to keep the original Portuguese name Encontro das Águas, as it is used as shown by Google,[2][3][4]. Many tour agencies use the Portuguese name in English publicity.--Mariordo (talk) 16:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- After a more extensive search with Google, it seems the most common translation is "Meeting of Waters".--Mariordo (talk) 03:22, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Move (rename) to "Meeting of Waters". It's a better translation. ▫ Urbane Legend chinwag 11:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Move (rename) to "Meeting of Waters". Makes sense to me to go with the most commonly accepted translation. Unforgiven24 (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- As per discussion above, I will redict to "Meeting of Waters".--Mariordo (talk) 17:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
