Santa María de Tuñas
[edit]Apparently the modern name of the town is Tuña. I don't know whether to change it in the article or not. —Muke Tever 22:29, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Arquillos
[edit]Rafael Riego was taken prisioner in a "cortijo" near of the village of Arquillos, not Anquillas
- Perhaps the "[[Santa Maria de Tuñas]] (now Tuña)" or "[[Tuña|Santa Maria de Tuñas]]" could be used..? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 08:38, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)
Riego’s Rebellion: The Grand Expedition and the Loss of the Spanish Empire
[edit]This is a well-documented historical fact with no known controversy. The article does not mention that the uprising of the Spanish army led by Riego contributed to Spain’s defeat and the loss of its Spanish American territories. Additionally, the information about this army and the fleet appears to be inaccurate. The article states that it consisted of 10 battalions, but historical sources indicate that there were many more units.
I have attempted to improve the accuracy of the article, but my edits have been reverted by User:Technopat. The user has also left me a message stating that my contributions are fabricated. I would appreciate guidance on how to properly present this information in accordance with Wikipedia’s policies.
I believe that this user may not be fully informed on the topic we are discussing or may have a particular perspective on it. My intention is to ensure that the article reflects accurate historical information based on reliable sources. I am open to discussing the matter constructively to find a solution that aligns with Wikipedia’s content policies Pipo1955 (talk) 23:42, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- For the record, I responded a few moments ago to the message duplicated above, or one very similar, on this user's talk page. Since then, I have seen that the user has now provided a perfectly valid source referencing the "well-documented historical fact", something the previous reference did not. Fine.
- As for the accusation that I accused you of "fabricated" contributions, that is not quite true: the standard Twinkle template states: "[... do not add] your personal analysis or synthesis...". That means what it says, not what you say or think it means. And while we're on that little matter of your beliefs, comments like "this user may not be fully informed on the topic we are discussing or may have a particular perspective on it" are not really conducive to you being "open to discussing the matter constructively...". --Technopat (talk) 09:23, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Let’s focus on the main topic. Are you familiar with the structure of the Overseas Army stationed in Cádiz? Could you provide a source for the claim that it consisted of only 10 battalions? Pipo1955 (talk) 10:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I do not have to provide a source for those "10 battalions" since I did not add that item to the article. However, I am now in the process of modifying that particular item and expanding on it further. When I have finished, and when I have removed "my" "in use" hatnote, you are welcome to try to make your recent addition to the lead a little bit easier to comprehend as it currently seems out of place. --Technopat (talk) 12:01, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
