this neutral version is very similar to the peruvian version, so...who is lying? Greetings Rasdar 190.40.33.130 (talk) 02:44, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The bombardment of Callao-Dispatches from Commodore Rodgers, May 10 1866

message: Are the Callao plaza and Madrid Metro station named after this battle?
: Yes. And Mendez Nuñez street, too. He was made a hero for that battle (even if most of people didn't understand it alright). --80.103.138.14 02:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Madrid place 

message: Spanish fleet's goal was not reconquer independent Peru., but more than that, an intent of "saving face" after two defeats against "lesser" enemies. Peruvian people usually see it that way, but Spanish fleet never had that intention. Of course, they were not a true "Scientific Expedition", but maybe a "Show-off Expedition". Anyway, I'm gonna rewrite the "reconquer" parragraph. --80.103.138.14 02:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reconquer what? 

message: The spectacle of the battle apparently moved British and American witnesses off the coast to shouting, "Viva Peru!" (highly unusual given the zeitgeist). This seems like an interesting enough fact to fit into the article if anyone knows more about it. Albrecht 23:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: Greetings, i'll see your modifications to the Battle of Callao article, and yes, both sides claimed victory, but that's irrelevant, the facts are thane the Spanish fleet was unable to achieve its objetives, which was the destruction of the Callao defence forts, therefore, the Peruvian forces obtain a decisive and strategical victory. About the 3 heavely damage frigate, that's absolutely true, the Villa de Madrid was hit and lost its boilers, the Berenguela was pierced side-by-side and the Almansa received a hit in one of tis powder rooms which ignites causing several deaths... Without mentioning all the impacts in the Numancia, which lost an entire broadside in the battle... But you say: "Its absolutely FALSE"... I'm ot a lyer, and I'm very responsable about every single word than I put on Wikipedia, free of any nationalism and fanatism. I'm going to revert your correctios. --Cloudaoc (talk) 15:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Before correcting, you should ask: what did want the Spanish fleet? what wanted Peru? Did the Spanish bombarded until they wanted? Yes. Did the Peruvian guns sink any Spanish ship? No. Did Spain "re-conquer" Peru? No. 1+1 = 2. --80.174.3.7 (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I respect your opinions, but I pray you not to remove referenced content if you cannot provide reliable sources to do it. My edits are based in published works much more reliable than articles from websites whose sources are not mentioned or remain unclear. These published works agree that the Spanish fleet put out of action almost all the Peruvian batteries. Do not edit the article to include dubious facts, please.

text: Firstly, Colson was opposed to the war and very critical of the Spanish strategy and even of Méndez Núñez, so accuse him of not being neutral is a nonsense. He also estimated 2,000 Peruvian casualties based on data published by the press of that country. About your claims of retreat, I respond that Méndez Núñez didn't do what you say simply because after two intense bombardments his squadron was lack of grenades and gunpowder. The only ammunition he disposed in large amounts were cannonballs. Obviously there was no Spanish base in South America where resupply of them... In addition the Spanish fleet didn't retreated from South American waters, as you say, since the Spanish frigates Blanca, Resolución, Villa de Madrid, Almansa, Concepción and Navas de Tolosa remained in Buenos Aires and Montevideo, thus forcing Chile and Perú to remain vigilant. Finally I ask you again if you can you provide sources more reliable than websites which claim that "the May 2 combat supposed the definitive independence for Perú".

thread_title: About the Battle of Callao

message: Rewrote or edited what I could, but the final paragraph needs a complete rewrite :
The comodore (sic) was hired, but he wasn't, and the last sentence tries to say three
things at once and list the entire Atlantic fleet??

message: I guess that probably the Spanish officers called troops to emulate the Dos de Mayo heroic deeds in Madrid.
Did they reference it?
