Correct spelling of toponym

[edit]

The correct Spanish spelling of this toponym is: Paez, acute word accentuated on the e, without a diacritical mark; it derives from the name of the ethnic people who inhabit the area. The mistake is very common, given that Páez (grave word, accentuated on the á and with diacritical mark) is also a Spanish surname, e. g.: It appears in the following sites: Nasa Kiwe, an official corporation created to manage the river basin, and in Ingeominas (Colombian government geological insititute). I suggest that the article name be changed back to Paez river. Lcgarcia (talk) 19:48, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
