Diskuto:Ricky Martin
Wrongly highlighted surnames?
[redakti fonton]Sorry, I don't speak Esperanto. As far as I know, at least in Wikipedia, people write last names in uppercase (in Esperanto). The thing is, most people from Spanish-speaking countries have two last names: traditionally, a paternal one + a maternal one. When it comes to Ricky, his first surname (from birth) is Martín, while his second surname (from birth) is Morales.
If one were to include only one of those surnames, one would use the first one (in this case, Martín), so both Martín Morales should be written in uppercase (→ Enrique MARTÍN MORALES) or, at least, the first one should be (→ Enrique MARTÍN Morales).

In Mariano Rajoy's article, both surnames are in uppercase.
Thank you.
