Falangist party

Hello everyone. As can be seen, content of articles Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista and Falange Española de las JONS is very similar, and in many cases it is identical. I think that something must be done in order to create an "unified" article for the Falangist party, which would encompass the period from its inception in the 1930s until its dissolution in 1970s. Regards, --Sundostund (talk) 00:30, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for raising this Sundostund, I quite agree there is too much duplication here. The obvious course would be to reduce the post-1937 content of FE de las JONS to a short summary, and the pre-1937 content of FET y de las JONS also to a short summary, in each case making clear links to the other article: Noyster (talk), 11:02, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@Noyster: Thanks for your response! Yes, the amount of duplication of content is more than obvious, and that must be corrected. Your idea about the reduction of content at the two existing articles should be considered as well, but I still think it would be better to merge them into one single article. After all - general subject, text, sources, etc are similar enough to merge those articles. --Sundostund (talk) 15:42, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi all. I've been seeing Periodista Digital being used as reference on some articles, I was wondering how much weight should be given to it. Is this a notable news outlet in Spain? Saturnalia0 (talk) 23:57, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Just a little help with translation (awards section)

Hi,
Currently, I am working on a draft about an american actress. As of now, she doesnt have an article on enwiki, but she has an article on spanish wiki (es.wiki). I got stuck only on awards section. Here are the words that I need to be translated:

"Año", "Ceremonia", "Resultado", "Premio", "Trabajo".

Kindly note that these words are the headings of the award sections. Upon using google translate I am getting odd results. Any help would be appriciated a lot. Thanks. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:08, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Usernamekiran Google for me gives "Year", "Ceremony", "Result", "Award", "Work", which all look like standard translations to me. Without seeing the context we cannot tell if a better word could be substituted in the particular place. If you are still unsure perhaps you could link the Spanish article for us and explain why you think the translations are "odd"?: Noyster (talk), 10:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, @Usernamekiran: If you're going to cross-post your question in multiple locations it's a courtesy to link them together so volunteers helping you don't waste their time if it's already answered. Some take a dim view on cross-posting, so a better way to do this, is ask your question in only one place (the talk page at Anna Bell Peaks draft is the logical place) and then if you need more eyeballs to answer it, like from here, let's say, then just add a link to it instead of repeating the whole question, that way your answers will all be in one place. If you spread your questions around, you may forget all the places it was, and miss seeing the answer. Adding Noyster. Mathglot (talk) 09:46, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice Mathglot it is much appreciated, and that method is logical as well. :-) <be /> I usually ask questions only in one place. But this time I was not sure who task, or where to ask. My first post went unanswered for sort of long time, so I asked it at another place. And yes, the talkpage of that particular article would have been the most logical choice, but there arent any other editors visiting it. Also, It is sort of odd to expect the visitor to be bi-lingual. Thanks again :-) —usernamekiran(talk) 11:20, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

anti-Hispanic bias on Wikipedia

I don't know much about Spanish/Portuguese/Latin American history or culture. Perhaps because there is so little on Wikipedia? Lately, I've been reading some books on the topic - History of Spain and Portugal by Stephen Payne, for instance, as well as chapters in The Story of Civilization by Will Durant on Portugal and Spain - and I've noticed when I search Wikipedia for additional information, as I do for any topic about which I read, especially history, that there is almost no information present. Take Joseph I of Portugal. He has a very brief article, extremely small amount of information is given. It directs us to the Távora Affair in a paragraph which leaves so very much to be desired. Clicking on that (because, after all, I had just read about it in Rousseau and Revolution, vol. 10 of The Story of Civilization), I am surprised by the duration of the article. Quite a lot of info for something Iberian. But, then I wonder: Why are there no articles on the main players? Practically every English peer has a page of his own, along with anybody even remotely related to them - so how is it that Francisco Assis, Count of Alvor, former Viceroy of India, hasn't even his own page!? His wife does, but that is only to say that she was involved in this affair and to give her list of children, a couple of whom do have pages of their own but which it is generous to call a "stub".

Every time I have ever tried to find out anything whatsoever about the Spanish or the Portuguese on Wikipedia, I have always left sorely disappointed. Until recently, I hadn't even realized that I was missing out, but now I am of the opinion that there is a systemic racial bias against Hispanic history and culture on Wikipedia. If I knew Spanish or Portuguese, I would work to correct that deficit, but unfortunately I can only work with German and Swedish, and there doesn't seem to be much Spanish history on either of those Wikipedias either.

Philologick (talk) 03:46, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

The existence of many forms of bias in Wikipedia is a well-recognised problem Philologick, as you will see in the essay on Systemic bias and the WikiProject for countering systemic bias. This is not a reflection of any widespread racial or ethnic prejudice, simply of the natural tendency of a volunteer project where everyone chooses how they will contribute: the majority will have greatest interest, knowledge and access to sources on the history of their own country and other countries sharing their own language. I am glad you have an interest in this field, and unfamiliarity with the Spanish or Portuguese languages is no bar to extending our coverage based on the many English-language publications that are available, such as those you mention: Noyster (talk), 13:23, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Armed Forces articles

Hello everyone. I think it would be beneficial to this project if we translate several articles from Spanish Wikipedia related to the Spanish Armed Forces, specifically to their organization and history. Namely, those articles are:

• es:Alto Estado Mayor (España)
• es:Junta de Jefes de Estado Mayor
• es:Estado Mayor de la Defensa
• es:Anexo:Jefes de Estado Mayor del Ejército de Tierra de España
• es:Fuerzas Armadas durante la dictadura franquista

For some time, I've been contemplating to start translating them myself, but I don't really have enough time for that. Of course, if I find time I'd be more than ready to work on this as well... I'm just aware of the size of this task – this would really need some real work and time to be completed. That is especially true about the last article on my list, the one related to the Armed Forces during the Francoist Spain (it is quite a long article). I'd really appreciate help about this, folks. Cheers! --Sundostund (talk) 02:59, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for these suggestions Sundostund. I've copied the titles over to the Article requests section of this Wikiproject as well, and may do a couple myself when time allows: Noyster (talk), 17:07, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Very poor, unreferenced article

My attention was drawn at an off-wiki criticism site to Everyday life in early 19th-century Spain, which falls under your wikiproject but hasn't had its talk page tagged as such. This article has been unreferenced since its creation. It was started by a new editor in March 2016 at the title How people lived in spain during the romanticism, and was also in poor English. Because we don't have interwikis in our articles any more but instead link articles at Wikidata, I haven't been able to discover whether there was an article on the Spanish-language Wikipedia that it may have been translated from. It has been PRODded twice. Starting in May 2016, an editor began inserting material that I can only describe as hoaxing. I considered nominating it for speedy deletion but instead have reverted all the hoax changes and rewritten it in better English and very briefly; basically I stubbed it. I would not know where to look for sources; the editor has admitted to me that he was guessing when he translated "Urban Police Rules" into Spanish, which explains why I couldn't find a source for that one very specific point. I don't know enough about the history of Spain to determine whether this essay is in fact on a notable and referenceable topic; perhaps the change in title to "early 19th century" was not right and some other title would work better? Can this article be salvaged, or should it go to AfD? Yngvadottir (talk) 15:49, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Sweeping changes

An editor is making sweeping changes to one or two articles within the purview of this project. I cannot tell how accurate they are.

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on Spanish women during this month please sign up in the participants section. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles for your project please add them to the appropriate sub list Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Catalan supremacism

Hi would someone mind looking at this article.I am a new pages reviewer and this cropped up in the feed. I have very quickly checked out the sources and the term supremacism is not mentioned I believe but as I don't read Spanish I need help. This seems like a very touchy article and I believe the title is provocative. I am not sure that the relevant information could not be merged into the Catalan nationalism article. Domdeparis (talk) 13:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

The article is largely based on the Spanish articles https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raza_catalana and https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racismo_en_Espa%C3%B1a. Well sourced, all reputable and most are Catalan academic sources - certainly a notable topic and glaring omission about Spanish and Catalan history on English language Wikipedia. Any support to improve it welcome, I am not very well versed in formatting and citations. Sonrisas1 (talk) 15:23, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

There is an article called Racism in Spain. No reason not to have Racism in Catalonia. But Catalan racism is not correct title. It should include all types of racism including against immigrants etc, and should not focus specifically on racism in early Catalan nationalist discourse but be wider in scope.

Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Spain

Please take a few minutes to help make these more useful to our readers.— Rod ^talk 18:49, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Spanish or Catalan or both in biography leads

Hi, so I watch Julio González (sculptor)‎, and just noticed that in the lead he's been shifted from being Catalan to being Spanish. There are other artists listed as Catalan (e.g. Antoni_Caba), sometimes Spanish (e.g. Joan_Miró), sometimes both (Vicenç_Caraltó). Julio González was born and raised in Barcelona, so seems like Catalan part is not wrong. Is there a standard that we have for this issue? Thank you, Mozzy66 (talk) 10:37, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Sevilla crash caused by bug?

I am wondering what this article says: [2]. It is because my edit to classify it as a bug was undone, but I do not speak Spanish. Was there a bug involved? --Ysangkok (talk) 15:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

You'd have to consult the reverter, but by my guess the problem was that your final sentence, "... which may be considered a bug.", appeared as "original research" not explicitly supported in the source quoted. It looks more like a failure of communication between a software supplier and an airline. So there may not be sufficient basis to include the item in that list (and you omitted to expand the bare-link reference): Noyster (talk), 15:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:56, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Trouble at Black Legend

Cateyed, on the second day of his editing here, decided to create The Black Legend, covering Spain, and to reduce the long-established Black Legend page to a rump. Before he got started Black Legend was nearly 34k raw bytes, he then expanded it up to nearly 62K, before removing the Spanish stuff and reducing it to under 10K. I haven't had time to to work through his changes, though it is clear his English will always need a basic check for grammar and spelling, and his additions seem to be reference-free. I didn't think this was acceptable without discussion, so for now I reverted back to a version before his big cut. This page gets over 300 views a day, and has always been somewhat of a target for problems. I haven't formed a view as to whether a generalized "black legend" page is needed, but if it is, I don't think Black Legend and The Black Legend are sufficiently distinct titles. Perhaps this should be resolved by a WP:RM discussion, but I'm asking for preliminary views at the BL talk page first, ideally from those who have looked through Cateyed's many additions, at BL and at the other article.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Missing/broken references

I'm trying to make a dent in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors, and a few articles within the hockey sphere have issues that I can't fix on my own (~5600 issue as of writing). Basically, some refs linked via {{sfn}} and {{harvnb}} and similar have missing full citations or have some other problems. You can check these instructions to have error messages enabled (Svick's script is the simplest to use, but Trappist's script is a bit more refined if you're interested in doing deeper cleanup).

In particular, the following articles could use some of your attention

• 1642 in Spain
• 1986 Spanish general election
• 2015 Vuelta a España, Stage 1 to Stage 11
• 2016 Spanish general election
• 2016 Volta a Catalunya
• 2016 Vuelta a España
• 2018 Tour of the Basque Country
• 2018 Vuelta a España

The cause is often copy-pasting a short reference from another article without copy-pasting the full reference. If you can find where things were copy-pasted from, you can usually find what the full reference is.

Proposal to use coats of arms created by Heralder for all relevant pages

Multiple pages relating to Spain especially the government institutions as well as geography-related ones including autonomous communities, provinces, comarcas, cities, and towns either use the older coats of arms based on styles used by official government websites and publications and the newer coats of arms created by Heralder. For the different versions of the coat of arms of Spain, this is the former and this is the version created by Heralder. For the sake of uniform consistency in manual of style across Wikipedia, I would like to propose we use Heralder's coats of arms for all the relevant articles due to their superior graphics quality.

Peer review page update

Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Spain/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{u|Tom (LT)}}) in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 23:44, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Te Quiero

Why is "Te Quiero" capitalised at ENWP articles? It's even not capitalised at ESWP. Eurohunter (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: If you refer to the content of the disambiguation page Te Quiero, I suppose they are following the English-language naming convention regarding song titles (which differs from the Spanish-language one). As those items featured in the dab page (primarily songs) are clearly Spanish-language titles (bar Te Quiero: Romantic Style in da World which is a mix of languages), I would personally use the Spanish-language convention in principle, but if English-language sources consistently used upper case when they address a given topic (I don't know if it is the case here), then perhaps there wouldn't be much to do in that given topic. In any case perhaps Wikipedia:WikiProject Music is a better venue to answer your question than this one (which is a project related to the country of Spain and does not primarily concern language usage: I mean, none of the "Te Quiero" linked articles in the dab page is even related to Spain!).

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Proposal to contribute to improve the article Genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula

I have observed that this article presents certain problems in terms of quantity and quality of content.

As for quantity: I think the body's article is too small and underdeveloped, without a written solid base of Ethnogenesis.

Regarding quality: There is a great disproportionality, focusing too much on non-central aspects for the article. Some sources are old and/or overly small in terms of samples. I have also observed that the article has been the subject of great vandalism with even some parts that seem racially motivated.

I am not Spanish and I lack knowledge in this specific area, so I dont think its convenient for me to make major changes in this article. If someone expert or knowledgeable about this matter helps to improve and outline the article, it would be great. Thanks. Venezia Friulano (talk) 17:21, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

The article on Don Quixote was suggested to me for editing.

As I am rather new to Wikipedia, I would appreciate it if someone could look over my work and tell me if I am on the right track.

Given names

Hello, I come here to ask about Spanish names and the naming laws of Spain. From what I understand Spain has decently strict laws on names, with one being required to have two surnames and at maximum two personal names with these two surnames. But I sometimes come across persons who seem to have more names than these, for example Lucía María Fátima Heredia Armada who seems to have three personal names, but I assume there is a case of a double name here, either Lucía María or María Fátima, but I don't know how to figure out which it is. ★Trekker (talk) 03:34, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Article seems to have gotten too big and is now having formatting and display issues. Someone more familiar with this typeof article probably should take a look at it and help figure out what to leave in and what to leave out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Spain:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Some assistance needed at Spanish protests against the amnesty (2023-2024)

Hello! I've found myself in the middle of a content & title dispute at Spanish protests against the amnesty (2023-2024). The page has been moved to a new title, and had its info box changed, without providing any reliable sources or new content within the article.

I've put in a few potential sources to kickstart a discussion at the talk page but I can't speak Spanish and lack any real background knowledge in the area. Any help is appreciated! Best, Phönedinger's jellyfish II (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Spain editors who understand Wikipedia needed at House of Romay

Socking and edit-warring appears to have been ongoing on this topic on this Wikipedia and over at Spanish, possibly others. The concerns raised seem to have merit, so there would appear to be an urgency to fix our articles, especially as it looks like it won't be deleted. Over at AFD, many sources have been listed but none make me comfortable chaging the article based on them. So, I am seeking out Spain/Spanish editors to identify reliable sources and bring sanity to the discussions, hopefully make sure that we are not perpetuating a hoax or fraud.

Question on government ministry title/spelling

Hi folks, I just ran across this article (new in November 2023): Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes. From my basic Spanish skills and context clues, I think that the title is just a misspelling/mistranslation and should be "...Courts", but I don't know for sure (and definitely don't know the procedure for moving/renaming an article), so I figured I'd drop it here in case someone could help.
