editFrancisco Guerrero y Palomares
editShould there be a "y" in our article on Francisco Guerrero y Palomares? It is found in older sources, but I've noticed newer sources using just "Francisco Guerrero Polamares". Does it matter? Viriditas (talk) 20:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Read Spanish naming customs#The particle "y" (and). It is the same, it's a difference in formality or period. I think that the criterion in the English Wikipedia is to use the most usual name in the sources. Verify it is "Palomares" and not *"Polamares".

- Thanks. It is "Francisco Guerrero y Palomares". The source I cited contained a typo.[1] Viriditas (talk) 22:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
