@Mercy11: Hi Mercy, there is a discrepancy on the name of this barrio. The sign welcoming the people to the town has "s" (eses) --> Montes Llanos. The US GNIS website [1] and the US Census spell it Monte Llano. People spell names on signs wrong all the time. Just wondering if there are other reasons for you stating that "this is the name of this barrio" when you redirected it? Thank you. --the eloquent peasant (talk) 15:59, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Was following policy at WP:AT. Both spellings seem to be common. But one of "other reasons" is it would be odd to have current pics (such as the school and barrio entrance photos) that have the 'eses' but the WP:TITLE doesn't. I sensed future readers getting confused (at best, frowning) after I had created the article, so rectifying the disconnect as early as possible was best. It's perhaps not the best solution for everyone, but at least it makes it consistent. Do you want to change it back? Mercy11 (talk) 17:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Good point, I hadn't noticed the school photo also had "eses". So let's leave it then and just will add the explanation to the lead. Thanks.
BTW on a related topic, would you mind checking this out. Thanks --the eloquent peasant (talk) 22:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
