Talk:Paraguayan War

Template:Vital article

Article name change

Shouldn't this article be named the War of the Triple Alliance, as most historical texts name this conflict as such, not the Paraguayan War? Labtek00 (talk) 08:18, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

No. Books published about the war calls it "Paraguayan War" mostly. This has been discussed before. --Lecen (talk) 10:17, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Paraguayan War as a Featured Article

After years, I decided to work on this article and turn it into a Featured Article. This means that I'll completely rewrite it. If someone opposes it, please say it now. --Lecen (talk) 20:20, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

That will be great. Appah Rao (talk) 20:56, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

I disagree. This GAN isn't ready for becoming a GA-class due to lack of citations in the whole article. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 10:21, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

CPA-5, Hello, and thanks for starting the review. As i am an relatively new user, i think you mean that there are not many inline citations? If it is that you mean, i hope this is not an problem; it has enough bibliography, something will surely stick. As i have not contributed to the arrticle, i will be happy to do so. If you tell me, i will try to bring someone that has hugely contributed it here, for help. Best regards, Eni vak (speak) 10:46, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

• Oh, in this case, let me introduce Wikipedia for you. Wikipedia has many classes in its articles, the first one is the stub-class. Stub-class are articles which are too small to be considered a real article and could be easily be merged if it hasn't a lot of information about the subject. After that, we have the start-class, this class means it is in progress to become a real article. At the talk page, you can see B-class criteria. Those criteria are our goals to make this article a B-class, the criteria are:

1. Referencing and citation

2. Coverage and accuracy

3. Structure

4. Grammar

5. Supporting materials (images, maps, videos, audios or infoboxes)

If a start-class reached four of the five then it'd become a C-class which is almost a B-class but it only needs one the criteria to be done. B-class is our first and earliest good classes everything below has probably a bad article or is in progress. After B-class (which another editor should review) you have GA-class. Which means a good article, Then we're coming to A-class which is a specific class within the MILHIST (Military history) project. Other projects haven't this class and would go in straight to FA-class (featured articles). This would take ages before they reach FA-class to just one article, because, an FAC (featured article candidate) needs a lot of supports and needs to the best article what Wikipedia should have. Welcome to Wikipedia. Anyway back to the main subject this article lacks b1 so the "Referencing and citation" part if you could to try to add some citations to the article and the article has academic sources then this article could become a GA-class in the near future. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 12:52, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

CPA-5, Thanks for your welcoming and reply. I will try to add that things of bibliography to citations, I will request help if I find trouble. Eni vak (speak) 21:10, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay but I await a little assistance by one editor who had contributed to the article. Eni vak (speak) 17:10, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

• Any news of the editor Enivak? Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 10:58, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

@CPA-5: their account was globally locked as they made several sock accounts and engaged in crosswiki vandalism. Their account might be unlocked in 6 months. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 06:51, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

I guess I'd have to close as a fail. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 08:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Not good at all.

The Brazilian historiography about the war actually has no evidence of ad nauseam we can read even in foreign encyclopedic text:

No evidence, no data, about "huge losses" from the Paraguayan side (as the Empire commited any unfair, any - using today's language - war crime, any genocide!).

Just writting this for the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.214.115.79 (talk) 11:10, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Changes and reliable resources please

The name must change because Paraguay have two wars, you can't named this was as Paraguayan War because this war was agaisnt Francisco Solano López, check the source, http://www.saij.gob.ar/127-nacional-tratado-triple-alianza-lnt0002527-1865-05-24/123456789-0abc-defg-g72-52000tcanyel, ARTICULO 7. - No siendo la guerra contra el pueblo del Paraguay, sino contra su gobierno los aliados podrán admitir en una Legión paraguaya todos los ciudadanos de esa nacionalidad que quieran concurrir a derrocar dicho gobierno, y les prestarán todos los elementos que necesitaren, en la forma y bajo las condiciones que se acordarán. ARTICLE 7. - Not being the war against the people of Paraguay, but against their government, the allies may admit to a Paraguayan Legion all citizens of that nationality who want to concur to overthrow said government, and they will lend them all the elements they need, the form and under the conditions to be agreed. Also Bolivia was the first country that recognized Paraguayan Independence in 1843. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teacherpy (talk • contribs) 02:57, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

1. The title of the article is a matter for consensus. It was debated very thoroughly a long time ago. There are very good arguments on both sides. It is not permitted to change the title unilaterally.

2. You may be right about Bolivia, but this requires a reliable source. All you have to do is produce it, and the controversy is resolved.Ttocserp 09:47, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
