Talk:Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla

message: There are so many sources that are on-line. Which one is correct? 
Where was he born? zacztecaz
Wasn't he from a the beautiful and amazingly fruitful land of Spain? For lieth to me not good sir.
"pure" and "criollo" (creole) seems like a contradiction.
In Colonial Spanish America, Crillo, creole, means a person of only European (specifically Spanish ) descent born in the Americas.  A Peninsular was someone born in IBERIA but living in the Americas.  In the social hierarchy, Peninsulares are usually seen as slightly "superior" to crillos, but by no means were there restrictions the Crillos' ascension.
What is that (above)?

message: Changed racism to chauvinism in the uprising section since it states that the preference was for Iberian spaniards versus Mexicans of pure spanish blood. It can't be racism between groups of the same race. Lycurgus 01:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Race" is pretty much a social construct, and so "chauvinism" is always a more accurate, if perhaps simultaneously a more vague term.  While US-centric, see Definitions of whiteness in the United States for a discussion of how "whiteness" has become more expansive term over the centuries.  I suspect that your logic is that both Spanish and indigenous Mexicans are both hispanic, and therefore the same race. You should know that "hispanic" isn't actually a racial term, but rather a description of a culture.  Thus on modern US census forms the blocks "white-non-hispanic" and "white-hispanic", in addition to "latino/a".  Personally, I would argue that a Mexican of Spanish descent is not the same "race" as an Mexican of indigenous descent, since they appear different.  Case in point [[Emiliano Zapata] vs Vicente Fox vs Juan Carlos I of Spain.  So while I agree with your change, I disagree with your rationale.  128.114.60.40 (talk) 04:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

message: All 19th century paintings of Hidalgo, like the ones you see in this article, are fake. All were based on an original portrait of a man of Austrian origin who posed as Hidalgo because nobody had painted a portrait of the real Hidalgo by the time he was elevated to the status of father of the independence, and the man was long dead and the new nation needed a noble face to honor (just as the Americans have their portraits of George Washington).
Finding a reliable source, even in Spanish, for the above statement will be easy. All Hidalgo portraits should thus be removed from the article.

replies: text: The first source is a primary source accusing him of being a Jew. This is the very document that is being debunked in the article above. He was accused of all kinds of heresies by the royalists, and the accusations were false. The second sources you have presented is not reliable (it also recycles the debunked claim about Las Casas) and the third source is entirely irrelevant in relation to the question. The fourth source is a selfpublished novel. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 16:34, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Sephardi Jew?

message: The links to source [2], [3], [8] and [9] don't work. The statements citing these sources need to be checked.  Also, the "Education, ordination and early career" section should be broken up into three categories for clarity. 
These statements need to be backed up by sources: "The insurgents overwhelmed the defenses after two days and killed everyone inside, an estimated 400 - 600 men, women and children. Allende strongly protested these events and while Hidalgo agreed that they were heinous, he also stated that he understood the historical patterns that shaped such responses." The statement implies that Hidalgo condoned the killings, when his stance may be much more nuanced. Amandayeoh (talk) 21:22, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
