Name change

Change of name, eh? How come? Welcome again then. (Siglo 20 cambalache problemático y febril...). -- Alexf^(talk) 17:32, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, I wanted to unify accounts at last, and to get rid of using names of peoples or characters. That seemed like a good idea some years ago, I used nicknames of many characters, historic people or musicians at many web pages, but now I prefer something more "unfocused", even if still pointing my nationality. So I waited to a point where I did not had anything nominated anywhere and no other ongoing discussions, and changed it, this time to last. Besides, I'm tired that everytime I say something remotely related to the Malvinas, users react as if I was a POV warrior because of the username, without actually considering what I do or say. One time, I recategorized an article, and some user reverted me, and then reverted himself, restoring my edit... Cambalachero (talk) 18:05, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I guess it makes sense. Not sense on having a name that could be controversial or be taken as POV pusher. In my case I have always used a real name as a brand. This was pointed to me by a marketing expert over 25 years ago. You can still find if you search hard enough and know what to look for, posts I made in boards and things I said online around 1988 or so, yes pre-Google but Google bought many databases over the course of the years and I can still find some of that material. -- Alexf^(talk) 18:22, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

all these redirect to this same page - Yes. Did you give any thought as to why that might be the case? Pdfpdf (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: José Domingo Molina Gómez

Nominations are rarely incorrect unless done disruptively; the article appeared questionable and discussions improve articles or weed them out; if kept, it definitely could use more sourced content. My earlier mistake was getting excited without calmly reading enough of the surrounding material. It was detailed enough to look real, and used an actual person's name who might have conceivably been participated in that alternate reality. I learn more participating in AfDs than clicking on 'Random article', procedurally and content-wise. Dru of Id (talk) 04:59, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Cambalachero! That portal you created is pretty cool! Thanks. Nice to see a new group of people getting interested in the Latin American history pages here on (English-language) Wikipedia.

Thank you, but I must notice that, although it's beyond the red links state, it's still in development. You can add new entries if you want to help, but try to be selective, add events or biographies according to their state as articles (at least B rank) rather than with the real significance, and images of high resolution where we can say something in the caption about the image itself, rather than about what's depicted in it. I have the intention of nominating it as featured portal sometime in the future. Besides, I realize that my knowledge is mostly about the Argentine theater and nearby areas, if you can point dates or quotes from Mexico, central america or northen south america, that would help a lot.

talk in Commons

Hallo Cambalachero, you should not use your admin rights to protect a page where you are involved in an edit war commons:User talk:Cambalachero - if you think protection is required please ask other admins to do so. Please unprotect your page therefore.

On the edit war topic: I do think deletion request notifications should be archived properly - as every other content on you talk page except vandalism or talkback or stuff. Previous deletion notifications are a good help for others. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 01:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

The problem is that Ferbr1 is a troll that follows me across projects in order to harass my edits with pointless demands. He has nominated many images I uploaded in the past, wich were kept, but he cites them anyway pretending to state that I upload problematic images. Which is the basic reason why the prohibition of removals is not used here: placed incorrectly or spuriously, and then used as an alleged record of a user's misbehavior, is simply trolling.

The protection of my talk page is for just three days, just the basic time to see if he calms down and finds something else to do. In any case, the real conflict is about a certain image, the conflicting use of admin powers would have been if I protected it to avoid nomination, or if I closed the deletion request myself; I did not do either thing. In the case of the talk page WP:HUSH supports my case here. Cambalachero (talk) 02:29, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Hallo again Cambalachero, thank you for your explanation. That changes the situation of course - I did not know because you you did not mention this at all in your revert or protection comment. It is okay for me then. Please reply here if you want to. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 03:33, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Please, you haven't evidenc of your afirmations. I'm not a "troll" or a "harass". If you no delet this defamations of me, I will present a report here. Thanks. Ferbr1 (talk) 13:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Evidence? I said that you follow me across projects to harass me, and that's exactly what you are doing here. You have not edited in months, and spring from out of nowhere to complain about things taking place somewhere else. I could easily point as well the deceptions in your links (such as saying that I did not provide the information required, when you actually deleted it at a point), but that would be beyond the point here.

Feel free to report whatever you want, but have a care: you are not in Spanish wikipedia here. There's considerable leeway there for chasing people around and making a big scene about every edit, but here, things are not the same. read WP:WIKIHOUNDING and WP:HUSH.

Juan Larrea - check of a detail

Hi, can you confirm that this edit is correct? That is, that Larrea was exiled and had his properties confiscated, not just Alvear? Thanks --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:55, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Also, "he voted for the incorporation of deputies from other cities into the Junta, an attempt of Saavedra to reduce Moreno's influence within the Junta, although manifesting his rejection to the proposal" - does this mean that Larrea expressed his opposition to the proposal, but voted for it anyway? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

The first question, yes, that info is about Larrea. And the second, yes, it may sound weird but that's what happened: Larrea said he was against the proposal, but voted for its approval. Reading between lines, it seems to me that he was extorted to vote for the proposal, so he did so but under protest. But there is no actual historical evidence of Saavedra extorting Larrea, so this explanation would be original research. I do not know either if the legislation of the time included a "vote under protest" clause, so using that term for the sake of clarity may become misleading. Cambalachero (talk) 00:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Perfect, thanks. I've re-worded the section on the Saavedra proposal to make it a little clearer. I think the copyedit is just about complete. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:09, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

New section in WP Uruguay

Hi Cambalachero, You added a new section named "recognized content in WP Uruguay. Can you give me a hint about what its purpose is? Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 02:09, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

OK thanks, now it makes sense. And thanks for the historic article. Maybe it should offer a line of explanation as to why a "cry". This was my first question when I heard about the Grito de Asencio and I was told this indicates a battle cry and that there are more Gritos in neighbouring histories (Brazil?).

More Larrea

"Larrea resigned his wages from his position as Junta member, and organized the resources for the upcoming war" ...

Secret Invasion

Hi. Just letting you know that someone bothered to actually answer your question. Matt Deres (talk) 22:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

May Revolution

The article is using a mix of Spanish and Anglicized names which might be confusing. I don't know if you noticed, but I only added the original, Spanish, name of those royals on the first time they are mentioned, so that readers will understand that the names used are anglicized forms. The type of references which I added are currently the best ones and are the ones used in FAs. They are far more simple and you don't need a lot of work when there are many passages using the same source, for example.

Anyway, I don't know what are you doing but it's quite obvious that you simply don't want to listen to an experienced editor. I was really trying to help and I even asked other editors to copy-edit your article to improve its prose. I had no need or obligation of doing any of that. I could have simply "opposed" as many others around do. But I wish you good luck. --Lecen (talk) 12:37, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I will consider this for the future, but not for now. I have been working, in the real world, at a project in the university (completely unrelated), and nominated this article when I ended it, thinking that I would have spare time if needed. The problem is that the teacher came with highly irrational complains and a pair of teammates betrayed me, so I'm in risk of having it failed and have to study that topic and make a new project all over again. It's not the same case than the FAC, but it seems very similar (replace all "minus" signs in page ranges with a code that generates a "dash", which looks exactly like the minus sign?), at least in my current state. So, I should better deal only with the real world issue and close this one, and avoid working with others for some time, or I may risk extrapolating over all of you the hatred I feel for that other issue.

I hope you will understand Cambalachero (talk) 13:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Fine by me. I would make a nother suggestion: find other editors interested in the subject. FAC is what we call in Brazil a "panelinha" (a closed or an exclusive group). There are a few editors who are always well treated by the delegates while others simply aren't. It's all about politics. Even if you have an article which is clearly up to FA standards, that doesn't mean that it will pass. You need people reviewing and supporting it. You can't simply invite others to support it because it will be considered canvassing (or cheating). This is why I believe you should search for a good copy editor (a good place to find one is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors). Nikkimaria also suggested TCO and Diannaa. I believe they can be easily found in the FAC pages. Once the prose is good and you've finished adding all sources. Ask for a peer review. Once it's done, you'll have at least three different editors (the one who copy edited, the other who made the peer review and the third one who reviewed the article in the GA nomination) to whom you could send an invitation to ask them to review the FAC nomination. Again, good luck. --Lecen (talk) 14:51, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

War of the Pacific Discussion

Cambalachero,

Hello! I see you have made some recent edits to the War of the Pacific article. We are currently having a discussion in the article's talk page, and it would really help if interested editors such as yourself provided your input. Best of wishes.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 19:11, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the discussion is quite lengthy, but the topics and positions are simple.

The current topic of discussion: Did Bolivia declare war on Chile on March 1st?

I'll start by saying that my position is in favor of Bolivia not declaring war on March 1st.

Second, I'll mention the dates are extremely important in this discussion.

Why do I think Bolivia did not declare war on March 1st? I have provided several sources from historians which contest the Chilean view. Of course, I am not denying the Chilean view. There are plenty of sources from both sides regarding March 1. That's why it's a controversy.

The problem: The other user, Keysanger, wants to dismiss this controversy. To him, "Bolivia declared war first", and that's all there is to it for him. I disagree with him because this subject deserves a better explanation. The dates are extremely important, and writing "Bolivia declared war" is not helping anyone other than his POV.

My position:

• I would like to include all the different points of view, thereby creating the true NPOV.
• March 1 is the date when Hilarion Daza, Bolivia's president, made his decree.
• According to my sources, Chile understood the March 1 decree as a declaration of war.
• Most of the historical debate focuses on the March 1 decree.
• Some historians (minority view; only 2 or 3) claim Bolivia declared war on the March 14th.
• Some historians (minority as well; only 2) claim Bolivia declared war on the March 18th; however, according to both Jorge Basadre and the diary of Lavalle (primary source, but it's good as long as it's taken word-for-word), March 18 is the date when the March 1st decree was made public in Chile.

We are not discussing any other topic at this point.

I hope I've been as neutral as possible in this summary of the discussion. My position is firmly in favor of including the NPOV (including all views on the matter), and against Keysanger's position of simply writing "Bolivia declared war first". Obviously, I hope you agree with me, but it's OK if you don't...I would appreciate your comments/suggestions either way. I honestly only want to improve the article. Best of wishes.--MarshalN20 | ^Talk 20:15, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

---

My proposal:

Daza's decree is a controversial subject in the history of the conflict. Chile interpreted the decree as a declaration of war, a decision whose legitimacy has faced considerable debate in the historical community. Those in favor of Chile's interpretation, including Erick Goldstein and Hans-Joachim König, explain that decree was a war declaration retaliating Chile's invasion of Bolivian territory. This group suggests that Bolivia's declaration of war tried to prevent Chile from receiving further military equipment, and, according to Jorge Basadre, also tried to prevent Peru's diplomatic mediation from succeeding. Those against Chile's interpretation, including Tommaso Caivano and William F. Sater, explain that the decree was nothing more than a security measure given Chile's military invasion. This group suggests that Chile, in need of a justification for its occupation of Bolivia, purposely distorted Daza's decree. Nonetheless, some historians provide different perspectives as to when Bolivia possibly declared war. According to Bruce Farcau, Bolivia's legislature authorized a formal declaration of war on February 27. Farcau, along with Bruce St. John and Martin Sicker, claim that Bolivia then declared war on March 14. According to William Sater and Robert Scheina, Bolivia's declaration of war took place on March 18, but José Antonio de Lavalle (Peruvian senior diplomat and envoy to Chile) writes in his diary that March 18 is the date when Daza's March 1 decree was made public in Chile; a story corroborated by historian Jorge Basadre.

May Revolution (Brownson)

Hi Cambalachero. Your last two edits of May Revolution seem to have inserted a reference to Brownson but removed him from the Bibliography. Am I overlooking something? --Stfg (talk) 08:45, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I removed both, the footnote and the book. When I wrote the article I used the other Spanish sources, and then I sought to replace some cases with other sources in English, when I found them. I guess this was a mistake, as many times the English sources say things in a more general way, without the specific level of detail, and then I thought "they talk about this issue" and cite. To remove the template from the top, I'm checking back all the references I added that way, to make sure they actually cite what they are citing; otherwise, I will restore the Spanish sources I used in the first place. The book by Archer, on the other hand, does cite what it cites, so it stays. Cambalachero (talk) 12:46, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

May Revolution ("defeated")

Hello Cambalachero. I've been watching in admiration as you've been working on May Revolution. Just one thing to take up with you: right at the end of May Revolution#International causes, it still says "The Supreme Central Junta was eventually defeated and replaced by a Council of Regency based in Cadiz", whereas the lead section says "The Supreme Junta retreated to Cadiz and dissolved itself, being replaced by the Council of Regency of Spain and the Indies". These really are contradictory, because to be defeated is to lose some kind of conflict with someone else. If a body dissolves itself, it hasn't been defeated. Did you perhaps mean disbanded? Or was there some kind of conflict that hasn't been described? Best, --Stfg (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I just saw what you've done. Yes, it's clear now. --Stfg (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Hi Cambalachero, thank you for your input in the AfD of the Battle of Sauce (1816). I have proposed a multiple merge of all battles of the Luso-Brazilian invasion to the main article. I would appreciate your input there as well, because although the battle articles appear to be too small and beyond hope of any significant expension, IMO the invasion article would benefit a lot from the merge. Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 13:52, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

May Revolution FAC?

Hello Cambalachero. Are you thinking of putting May Revolution up for FAC soon? I feel that it's more than ready, and that it might benefit more from doing it than from waiting any longer. Best regards, --Stfg (talk) 10:27, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

May revolution: National causes

Hello again. Just wanted to point out that this diff not only clarifies, it also reverses the meaning. The previous version was saying that Spain couldn't accommodate what was coming from the colonies; the new version says it couldn't the supplies the colonies would need. Or are both these things true?

(P.S. please reply here, not on my page. Thanks.)
Regards, --Stfg (talk) 21:10, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the correct meaning is the current one. I guess that some user who came when I requested a copyedit misunderstood the original content and changed it to the opposite. If the Americas do not produce certain things, only Spain is allowed to provide it, but Spain does not have enough to provide and send most of it to other places, then shortages are more than likely, they are unavoidable. On the other hand, if Spain was unable to receive the things provided by the viceroyalty, that would not produce shortages. In fact, the only thing that the American colonies produced and Spain retrieved to Europe in significant numbers, was gold. And you know those folks from centuries ago, they never had enough gold, so filling it all in Spain would never be a problem. Cambalachero (talk) 21:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Juan José Castelli

The article Juan José Castelli you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Juan José Castelli for things which need to be addressed. – Quadell ^(talk) 13:54, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Horacio González

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Horacio González. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Category:PD-AR-Anonymous and Category:PD-AR-Photo

I understand your view of photos as out of copyright under law. Why treating them as not "anonymous work"? Even I presume: photo is included as "work", isn't it? Creation and publication are NOT the same thing either. In fact, some unpublished creations should be out of copyright after 120 years of creation in the United States if anonymous or pseudoanonymous or "work made for hire". Why does "anonymous" count as an author under Argentina law? --Gh87 (talk) 23:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

File:Adanlaserpente.jpg: Is this image free or copyrighted? It had been published on the .gov.ar website @cceder, and I have recently read its terms and conditions in English. What do you think? If copyrighted, then I must do the speedy deletion tag myself: no need to help as I have become skilled to figure out copyrights and templates. --Gh87 (talk) 03:29, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The source of File:Antonio Cunill Cabanellas.jpg is the museum; File:Alumni1909.PNG is published on the copyrighted website. Are both free or non-free? --Gh87 (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Horacio González

I'm posting this message on your talk page because I noticed that you've recently created the new article Horacio González--The image greatly improves the article.However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the reference in the article do not follow Wikipedia guidelines.

Economic history of Argentina

Hi Cambalachero! I have made some changes to the article Economic history of Argentina recently. Seeing that you're an active member of the Argentine WikiProject and you have contributed to many good articles, I would be grateful for your opinion on the current state of the article. Is it missing anything obvious? Do you think it's up for a GA nomination? Thank you!!--Frère Jacques (talk) 02:54, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I have implemented most of the improvements you have suggested. However I had problems finding sources for two of them. Aside from that, where do you think more work is needed? Thank you again for your help!--Frère Jacques (talk) 03:17, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
