== Curandera vs. Healer == |
|||
I originally started to create this page under "Curandera", but was asked to put it here. |
|||
I think "Curandera" is a better title for this character. |
|||
For starters, there is no evidence that she has any healing ability. |
|||
"Curandera" does NOT mean healer. Something like "witch doctor" or "faith healer" might be a better translation, and these carry connotations that simply "Healer" does not. |
|||
I thus propose renaming the character "Curandera". [[User:Aapold|Aapold]] 07:44, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |

* So if I understand correctly, she was credited as Healer but introduced herself as a curandera? All things considered it feels like curandera is a better description (read: article name) for this character and that "healer" was just the translated description for the woman. In the same way I think [[Bliss and horror]] is an interesting name for a power in that it preserves the cultural interpretation of these special abilities (versus Chandra/Mohinder's purely scientific interpretation) I think that calling her a curandera helps preserve the cultural subtleties between the term "curandera" and "healer", especially the ones pointed out by Aapold. I think it would be good to title the article curandera and then point "healer" to it instead of the other way around. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 08:49, 3 October 2007 (EDT)) |
|||
:*Definitely agree with Admin. Change to Curandera. This is a global show, and uses global terms. --[[User:Conspiracy Unit|Conspiracy Unit]] 09:21, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:*Agreed. Healer should be a (disambig), with links to [[Linderman]] and/or [[healing|Linderman's ability]], to [[regeneration]], and to [[Curandera]]. I certainly could confuse the three in a broad search.--[[User:Danielandthelions|Danielandthelions]] 17:28, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:**That sound like the best approach. As I said before, my only concern with calling her ''curandera'' is that no-Spanish speakers might not know how to find her article, but a disambig handles that.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:34, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
:*No comments about the woman, but your comments made me think, Admin, that we probably will never really have a scientific name for Maya and Alejandro's abilities. I have a feeling they will end up colloquial descriptions rather than scientific explanations. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:01, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |

== ''[[Yatta]]!'' == |
|||
* I moved [[Healer]] to Curandera, if sloppily, and created redirects on [[Curendera]] and [[talk:Curendera]] to fix my misspelling. [[Healer]] now redirects to [[Healer (disambig)]] as described above. Your feedback is appreciated. I know it was messy, but I'm just excited that I figured out how! :D --[[User:Danielandthelions|Danielandthelions]] 18:43, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Nice job. :) In the future if you need to fix a misspelling, just move the article again. You don't need to copy and paste the info from the old name to the new name. In fact the benefit of moving the article is that it preserves the edit history. Just a note for next time to hopefully make things go more smoothly for you. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:50, 3 October 2007 (EDT)) |
|||
*** I tried but it said an article already existed there. Probably because this was a case of the article starting at Curandera, moving to Healer, then me trying to move it back to Curandera, via "Curendera" since I misspelled it. Had I just slowed down, instead of fearing that I'd jack up someone else's edit in the move, I think it would've gone smoother.--[[User:Danielandthelions|Danielandthelions]] 18:53, 3 October 2007 (EDT) |
