  • Good to go. Article is new enough. Hook is okay, and interesting. QPQ good. Meets all requirements.. — DivaKnockouts (talk) 02:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
  • The article has a significant amount of odd prose, more than enough to keep it from being approved here, and far too much for having been given Good Article status a few hours later. One example: the second and third paragraphs of the History section come from a single source, and the wording is a very close paraphrase of the Google Translate of that source. Compare the article's "the Santa María de La Cabeza castle has a fundamental difference with regard to other permanent bastioned fortifications: the design of its walls was developed into two sections. The lower body is plain and perpendicular to the pit; the upper body is tilted after the master cordon. Those changes catalog the fort as a unique bulding in the country." with Google Translate's "the fortress of Santa María de la Cabeza has a fundamental difference with respect to other permanent fortifications bastioned, because the design of the walls takes place in two stages, the lower body is straight, perpendicular (90 °) with respect to the pit and the upper cord after master is tilted (see Figure 3). This feature catalogs it as a unique fortification across the country." The prose problem is endemic; I haven't checked paraphrasing issues against other sources, but the dependence on Google Translate seen thus far is not a good sign.

  • I won't worry about Google Translate, as I didn't use it. I'm going to check now if the program makes a similar translation to mine. — ΛΧΣ21 18:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
