[edit]

The use of the é in the article, in referring to Mexico, has been changed to the basic e. I did this change because the article is in English and technically that character is quite rare and only used in a few situations and even then it's acceptable to leave it out (fiancé/fiance, resumé/resume). The problem area of this article was in the Literary Works section. The word Mexico was only being used to describe the place of where the work was originated and there was no standardization in the section. I was seeing instances of Mexico and México throughout it. It's important to make this correction, even though it's a one character difference, because using a standard for the use of country names in English is important throughout the English Wikipedia. A lot of other countries and cities throughout the world have much different names in their respective languages. (The examples coming to mind are Beijing in French is Pékin. You can see how if we don't stick to a standard of strictly only using English spellings, things can go array. It's ambiguous at best in the worst case scenario.)
