The article is new and long enough. The sources it cites are of high quality. I see neither close paraphrasing nor neutrality issues. I do, however, think that the hook is not interesting to a broader audience. Fortunately, I think such a hook can be produced from this article. I would propose:
ALT2: ... that the Spanish military governor of Venezuela, Juan de Casas, cried after the French demanded that he accept a Frenchman as king?

This hook would need to be reviewed by someone else though. Surtsicna (talk) 16:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Surtsicna and Mebigrouxboy: ALT1 lacks an end-of-sentence citation.--Laun chba ller 12:55, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hate that rule with a burning passion but in this case it did make me realize that the citations got mixed up so I fixed it all. Thanks, Launchballer. Surtsicna (talk) 18:02, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(I hear you. I still haven't forgiven WP:BLP for Horsegiirl.) I can't read a word of that source so approving this AGF.--Laun chba ller 08:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
