Lidia Gueiler → Lydia GueilerLydia Gueiler – "Y" spelling seems to be the one used by Gueiler. It's reflected in presidential decrees during her presidency, in authored works, and in her authorized biography.

• This would warrant a full discussion because it seems like "Lidia" is the WP:COMMONNAME in English-language sources: The New York Times, BBC, The Independent, The Washington Post, The Times, Los Angeles Times, El Pais, Reuters, Encyclopædia Britannica, Bolivian Express, United Press International, etc., as well as numerous books and academic sources.

  Would WP:COMMONNAME really apply in this situation, though? That policy seems to be most applicable to people known by a name or nickname different from their birthname. In this case, the only difference is that one spelling is the more correct one. Should a misspelling be preferred simply because most sources use it? Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

  That'd be up to the RM process to decide. Since most sources spell it "Lidia", it's likely that somebody searching for her article would also expect it to be at "Lidia". At most, IMO, we should include a WP:EXPLNOTE in the lead of her article explaining that it is sometimes spelled "Lydia". RachelTensions (talk) 03:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose as per the sources provided by RachelTensions. We prefer reliable sources in English, and when sources like Britannia and News Papers are spelling it this way, this would be what English speaking people would most likely be looking for. It may well be appropriate for the Indian WP to use this proposed name, but I’m not sure what their policies on article titles is over there. TiggerJay (talk) 16:05, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Vague sentence in "Overthrown by Bolivian Armed Forces in 1980"

"… Gueiler herself was overthrown by the Bolivian Armed Forces in coup by her cousin, General Luis García Meza Tejada in 1980. Despite being backed by both the Soviet Union and the United States, her cousin was supported by Argentina, Brazil and Peru." Okay, who exactly was supported by both the Soviets and the US? I think the writer was trying to say that she had that support, but the sentence could be read either way. I would suggest this instead: "Despite her support from both the Soviet Union and the United States…" I would change it myself, but I'm just guessing. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 01:17, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
