The pronunciation edit

@Kwamikagami: Hello. The original American Spanish transcription is correct. We had better show [s] rather than [θ] since Jorge Ortiz is Argentine. LoveVanPersie (talk) 17:38, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

We give general Spanish pronunciations, just as we do for English. Since the /s/ is predictable, we don't need to show it. We don't give the Argentine pronunciations for other consonants, so changing to /s/ is much more misleading than /θ/ -- it might lead people to think that's how his name is actually pronounced. If you know the actual Argentine, we could specify it as the local pronunciation. — kwami (talk) 03:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
