Hi Valenciano article is new enough and long enough; I can verify the fact from the source cited; I am not familiar with Spanish sources but they look to be newspapers or similar so happy to AGF they are reliable; a QPQ has been carried out; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources. Couple of queries on sourcing: I couldn't see in the source cited where it said 5 people were left missing and there is no source for the 150 billion pesata cost - Dumelow (talk) 16:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow, I've juggled the references round so that they now match. Valenciano (talk) 20:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, looks OK to me. The hook could potentially benefit from a little work to avoid repetition of "Spanish ... Spain ... Spanish" but I don't have a better suggestion at the moment - Dumelow (talk) 21:58, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
