Talk:Francisco Solano López

message: This page's talk page previously went to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Francisco_Solano_L%C3%B3pez_%28comic_book_artist%29, so I moved the article from "Francisco Solano López" to "Francisco Solano López (dictator)" so a new talk page could be made. If you quibble with calling him a dictator, feel free to change. Zafiroblue05 21:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

message: He was born in the year 1827. El Centinela (24 july 1867)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorge Contrera (talk • contribs) 21:19, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: He was not born in 1827, but in 1826. The former is a false date propagated by López and his sympathizers. He was born very soon after his parents had married, meaning that he had been conceived out of wedlock. He was ashamed of this and moved his official date of birth a year forward. I will edit the article to indicate the correct year, with a reference. --Shelleyesque   — Preceding undated comment added 23:03, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of Death 

message: In this article and others about Paraguay authors mistakenly refer to López as "Solano López." López is his first surname--his father's surname. Solano is his second name. He should be referred to as "López."

thread_title:  Surname is López 

message: Nothing about those here? I guess the revisionists are running wild on Wikipedia too. :P
There weren't oppressions until Paraguay began losing the war. Most, if not all, of his atrocities was executing POWs and anyone who was Argentinian or Brazilian due to his increased Paranoia. Veritiel (talk) 12:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I read that he had his mother publicly flogged and that he had himself declared a Catholic saint. Is this true? Czolgolz (talk) 23:40, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: He executed his brothers-in-law (the husbands of his two sisters) and his two brothers. His two sisters were tortured and kept in small cages, like they were animals. He tortured his mother and ordered her to be executed. Just when she was about to be executed the Brazilian cavalry reached the Paraguayan camp and killed López. --Lecen (talk) 23:47, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Atrocities and Oppression 

message: This article cites no references and it even contradicts with other Wikipedia articles. Such is the case when telling about how the war began. This article says "In 1864, in his self-styled capacity of protector of the equilibrium of the region, he demanded that Brazil should abandon her armed interference in a revolutionary struggle then in progress in Uruguay. " Yet in the War of the Triple Alliance article it states that Uruguay asked for Paraguay's intervention. This should be edited as to have a consistency on the facts.
Also, the final part talking about his burial by Lynch state "His wife which was a prostitute from europe, which was a main factor in the war, was forced to bury her son and husband in the rain in a tatters dress after his death.
". This is hardly encyclopedic language. It has already been stated before this that she was a Parisan Courtesan, why call her prostitute again? Also, there are no references about source and the description of her in a tattered dress while raining seems quite romantisized. I propose this part to be edited as to reflect a more encyclopedic POV. Veritiel (talk) 12:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV and accuracy 

message: I have organized this article a bit. I didn't change much besides cleaning it up a bit more as giving it a structure. The only part that I did change was the details regarding his death. I changed the original version:
For the one in War of the Triple Alliance which is now in the article. Veritiel (talk) 14:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit 

message: The page was added to the Paraguayan Vice President's category. I had undone it since, as far as I know and have read, he was never an actual vice president during his father's rule. It was changed again saying that he was appointed to the office from 1854-1866, but during that time his title was of Minister of War, not Vice-President as it mentions in the article, backed-up by a source. I'm going to erase the category again, since it's not sourced. If you find a good verifiable source stating that he was Vice-President, please add the category again as well as edit the article as to include it in it. Thanks.

thread_title:  As Vice President 

message: Just passing through and noticed there are SIX images of this dude in a relatively short article. On top of that, they pretty much all look the same. Two images wouldn't cut it? Just sayin... JBarta (talk) 10:23, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
