Talk:History of Spain/Archive 1

message: The following is a partisan comment of the sort that I (LMS) for one would like not to see on Wikipedia...
:Modern spanish history is anything else than the history of their nations. Spanish state has been constructed on the opression of these nations.
::The funny thing about this is that the first nationality that had to be repressed in order to create Spain out of (mostly) Castilla and Aragon was the Castilian nationality, in the revolt of the Communards (Comuneros). The revolt ofthe Reapers (Els Segadors) in Catalonia and the suppression of the Fuero de Navarra came much later. However, because the language chosen by the Imperial administration of Charles I was Castilian, it was easier for the Castilian elite to identify with the Empire, and the Communards were quickly forgotten while, for instance, Els Segadors is the national anthem of Catalonia. Obviously the Catalan elite was not going to side with the Castilian-speaking opressors of the Catalan-speaking peasants. — Miguel 23:54, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The Reconquista section has been missing since mid-November. Is there a good reason for this?  AdeMiami 18:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I just noticed that someone (an AnonIP) changed "Comunitat Valencia" to "Comunidad Valencia". My understanding is that both are correct in that locale depending on the language being spoken. The first version is in Valencian (see Valencia (autonomous community)) while the latter is Castillian. So, what is the policy on that. I would say to use the Valencian language version. --Colin Angus Mackay 01:50, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I've been working on a history of Spain under the Habsburgs for the past several days. I have it posted under my user page right now (User:Adam Faanes/History of Spain#Spain under the Habsburgs. The headings from "The beginning of the empire" to "The last Habsburg" are mine; the rest are Miguel's from the Spain page) but I'd like some input on it before I put it up. I'm still planning to add headings for Spanish society and art under the Habsburgs. I'm pleased to see that someone added to the section on this page; perhaps my article could be a starting point for the separate article that Djnjwd asks for. Adam Faanes 15:23, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The lead section needs to be fixed. It currently is a self-reference to itself! It says: "This is the history of Spain. Its history is part of the history of Europe and part of the history of present-day nations and states." This is no good because we should not say that this is part of a series - that's what the infobox is for! Can I suggest that we fix the lead section to be more informative? - Ta bu shi da yu 18:37, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Isn't anyone interested in beginning a Timeline of Spanish history in the lines of Timeline of Portuguese history or Timeline of British history or Timeline of Canadian history or Timeline of Afghan history or Timeline of Albanian history or Timeline of Chinese history or Timeline of German history or Timeline of Ancient Greece or Timeline of Irish history or Timeline of Islamic history (I could go on...)?

message: I'd suggest renaming quite a few of the articles in this series, as they suggest articles about a former states (First Spanish Republic), when in fact they are just history of a current state article. Consider an example of History of Poland (1945–1989) vs. People's Republic of Poland, or History of Poland (1569-1795) vs. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Eventually those names must be given up to former state articles and current ones moved to History of... name.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The title is misleading, the entire article and most of the ones it links to are completely about political history.  I think this should be moved to "Political history of Spain".  --MateoP 21:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
