Talk:Battle of Aljubarrota

message: On 21 August 2021‎ I removed a reference to the Baker of Aljubarrota on the army strength field of the information column. I added my justification on the edit. This is a joke being played by someone who keeps vandalizing the page. The baker, as stated on the Aftermath section, is a folk tale which is commonly associated with the battle, but it is not grounded on real history. I once again removed the reference from the field. If vandalized again, kindly lock the page temporarily to prevent this.
:I kindly disagree. This story is not a joke, and even if it is myth it is known by all Portuguese. Are you you arguing we should also delete this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brites_de_Almeida ?
:It is obvious to the reader, if the proper link is in place, why this information is there and yes it can be amusing, but given the proper context I don't see why all the fuss.
:Let the people have their bread and circus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedrolinharesgomes (talk • contribs) 15:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I did not delete all the references to the story. Those remain in the Aftermath section where they belong. What I did delete was a single mention in infocolumn which included the baker woman as part of the army strength, which is neither correct or factual (the legend of the baker woman takes place shortly after the battle). This reference was continuously re-added over time whenever it was removed.

thread_title: Warning

message: In my very humble opinion, the note 2 should be rewritten something like:
At this time (fourteenth century), Castile is not synonymous with "Spain". That country appeared only in the end of the fifteenth century, with the marriage of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon (the rulers, together, of present-day Castile, Leon, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands and other territories outside the Iberian Peninsula such as Canary Islands, Sicily)—"The Catholic Monarchs." 
As this is such an awarded article and there is even an audio version I just make this modest comment so if anyone with more background in history than me (easy) takes my point and edits in a suitable note the small note.Basquetteur 14:46, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Note 2 about "Present day territories" 

message: I expanded the text and removed incorrect information such as the mention to John of Aviz' "Lancastrian queen" before 1387 and the "probable" English suggestion on the defensive tactics, on which Nuno Álvares Pereira had already shown proficiency at the previous battle of Atoleiros.
Please check my English, as I'm not a native speaker. It also needs references and footnotes, but I'll leave those to any real historian who might actually have the books...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmdr. Maegil (talk • contribs) 07:34, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

message: *Does anyone know the origin of the name Aljubarrota? It looks like Arabic, but the name of the Battle of Aljubarrota's Arabic Wikipedia page  has the form ألجوباروتا ('Aljūbārūtā), but that looks like a direct Arabic transcription of the Portuguese name.
