[edit] Chain mail hoax section
I've removed the "Chain mail hoax" section at the bottom of this article. It is a non-notable event that is only marginally relevant to this article. The idea that internet spam should merit a section on an article of one of Latin America's (and the World's) most influential writers strikes me as bizarre. Also take note that one of the "citations" regarding that "event" is from a blog and another one from fastbytes.com who's quality reminds me of the old geocities pages. We need to be more vigilant about these kinds of things and remove factoid/blog material as soon as it comes up in order to maintain the quality of this and other important articles.--Jersey Devil (talk) 09:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Can anybody tell me if there is any possibility that Gabo will add to or indeed finish the second and third volumes of his autobiography. Having marvelled at the first part I would love to think that I have more to read —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.164.8 (talk) 14:51, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
His name, according to Colombian pronunciation, is said in seseo not ceceo. Ceceo is phenomenon found in a few dialects of southern Spain in which the historical phonemes /s/ and /θ/ are both realized as [θ]. Although a minority pronunciation in Spain, virtually all speakers in Hispanic America are seseantes, and seseo is considered standard in all varieties of Latin American Spanish. Seseo is the merger in the opposite direction: the original phonemes /s/ and /θ/ are both pronounced as [s]. There's always a lot of confusion over this, usually who have learned Spanish in Europe, where ceceo is often taught. This form of Spanish, or Castellano, is very limited to certain parts of Spain. No Spanish speaking person pronounces their name like that unless they were born and/or were raised/lived in those areas of Spain. Please do not simply change the pronunciation because you were taught that way and feel it is the more or only correct version of the language, if you do some simple research you will understand the difference. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.55.164.247 (talk) 00:42, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Missing Works?
I am not sure how notable the following works are, but they are present on the spanish version of the article, and not the English:
La siesta del martes
Un dia de estos
La Viuda de Montiel
__________ Baltazar (the prequel of la viuda de montiel) 173.70.194.24 (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Actually, they are published in two collection of short stories which are not mentioned either:
- Eyes of a blue dog and other stories - The funeral of the great mother and other stories —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.19.214 (talk) 00:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright problem
This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.
