 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. Nothing in this matches actual WP practice; e.g. Zürich and Yucatán are the actual article titles. |
Over the years, with translating articles among several languages, many foreign words have been brought into the English Wikipedia as though they were actually English-language words defined in some official English-language dictionary. A typical clue, in spotting a non-English word, is to watch for accent marks or other changes to letters, beyond the standard 26 letters in the English alphabet. English words almost never have accent marks, or tics, or dots on the letters.
