Francisco Gil de Taboada[edit]

This is an article on a Spanish viceroy of Peru and later a high official in the governing junta in Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. My sources are mostly Spainish. I don't believe there is much available in English. There are some parts of his career I could not find much information on. I would be interested in suggestions about how to find more information. Of course I would also be interested in additional information if someone can add it. And any other suggestions as well. Thanks. —Rbraunwa 06:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Rbrauna. I sympathize with your problem about finding sources. Have you tried Nexis? Though it's a pay search engine, you can sign up for a free three day trial. That's what I did when I needed to research an article. Nexis can give you magazine and newspaper articles (among other sources) going back 50 years, all in English. Hope that helps, and here's a link: [1]. After you find articles, don't forget to use inline citations. People here find they help in quality assurance. Jeffpw 12:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Jeffpw, thanks for the Nexis tip. I really don't know anything about that site, so I'll give it a try. I suspect there is more on this guy and I just haven't been able to find it. I need to try a big university library, too. --Rbraunwa 13:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yannismarou[edit]

This article is in its begining; so, I don't have much to say, until I see a more expanded version. Some guidance and general remarks:

  • Have you searched Google Book for search? You could find something. If not then use your Spanish sources and see then what you can do with the prose.
  • You have no inline citations, where you could also include these external links you link within the text.
  • "As viceroy of New Granada" is too stubby. Needs expansion.
  • You might like to use the Biography infobox or the military person infobox.
  • By the way, you could also search in the Military Project in case there is any user there who can help you with the sources.
  • There are also many prose problems. Small unconnected with each other sentences, stubby paragraphs etc. The article will eventually need copy-editing.--Yannismarou 15:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
