I thin tht even if somebody has Galician blood in them or even a last name from Galicia they should be considered Galegos.. I wasnt born there but my name is from there and I consider myself one  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.182.41.16 (talk) 03:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anybody explain why Tabaré Vázquez and Fidel Castro are shown as representative galician? They both did not born in Galicia, Montevideo and Cuba. 
And I think Franco's picture is not a good option. --Galician 18:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Can people get it into their heads that Castilians, Andalusians, Malagans, etc, are no more Spanish than are Galicians, Spanish Basques and Catalans.  And that the Galician, Catalan and Basque languages are every bit as much Spanish languages (languages from Spain) as is Castilian. And finally, Castilians are their own ethnic group.  Castilian should never have been called Spanish, because its like calling English "British" and forgetting the other British languages like Scottish Gaelic, Cornish and Welsh. But for historic reasons Castilian, being the language of the central government of Spain has become known as Spanish, but it isn't the only native Spanish language. (And one other thing, Franco's family did originate from Andalusia and had strong connections there but there would have been intermarriage with Galacians as well and yes, Fidel's parents were Galicians. You might not like either bastard, but they're smart and they're winners).
Franco distantly descends from some Andalusian gentry, but basically all of his heritage is Galician. As for Castro, he's of full-blooded Galician descent too, as his father was Galician born and his mother 1st generation Galician-Cuban, I believe. Noldorin (talk) 16:08, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tabaré Vázquez and Fidel Castro 

message: I have been thinking galician personalities who can appear in the pictures. Pablo Iglesias, the fouder of UGT and the Spanish Socialist Party is a good option. I was thinking too in Castelao. --Galician 13:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I am ashamed, as Galician one, an Galician speker, by this article. It is not neutral, in various ways. A Galician person is Galician or not. Fidel Castro is not a Galician, Niki Lauda is not a Galician, Simon Bolívar is not a Galician, etc, there are people descendants of Galicians, but they are no Galicians... But Salvador de Madariaga was a very universal Galician vip's and he is not in the list. There are not 10.000.000 of Galicians... 90 % Galician people today not speaks Galician language. To speak a language is not to say any words, very bad spelled, and mixtured of Spanish words with coinages of Spanish orations... An article over Galicia could say the true about these country and its people, not a Syrens tale and marvelous epic poem - Montes, 10 - X - 2007, 2:06

thread_title:  Historical region 

message: Due to the pictures have seen changed quite often, taking off universal galicians like Rosalía Castro, Camilo Jose Cela,... I propose only four or five pictures as we can see in most of ethnic groups articles. And please, do not interfere adding people like Fidel Castro, Simon Bolívar, etc because they have galician origins, but they are not galicians. Besides, they are not representative of galician culture or its historical society.--Galician (talk) 16:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The following is the first sentence under the A Revival and a sense of national willpower section: "Nationalism meeting in 1931 Following the union of the kingdoms of Aragón and Castille, Galicia became swallowed up in the creation of the Spanish protostate..."
Is there someone who can rewrite the beginning of this to make sense?  I don't understand the first part as written. Kman543210 (talk) 07:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Dear anglophones:
As Galician I really like this article, except two things (just two things); in the first sentence is said that "The Galicians (Galician: Galegos) are an ethnic group whose homeland is Galicia, which is a historical nationality in Southwestern Europe, embracing a territory situated in the north-west of Spain.", and well, first we are not an ethnic group... It is a strange affirmation, and I saw that in english wikipedia have a lot of "ethnics groups", and in Europe we are all Europeans!
And the second thing that I do not like is that "Their native language is Galician.". Well, I am Galician and my native language is the Spanish (I live in a Spanish-speaking city), but most of Galicia is bilingual, and with permission I will change it.
Regards from Galicia, Spain, Europe.
