TOO MANY sources for one word is too distracting and not necessary

To David...

I agree that there should be sources & even multiple sources to prove the point, and I'm on your side on this issue overall...but SEVEN IS TOO MANY and disrupts the sentence flow, and is too distracting. It disturbs the reader too much in that part. And seven is not really necessary. Your references were good, and I left 3 of them alone, the really good ones. So four all together (mine plus 3 of yours). But 7, bro, is just TOO MUCH for one part of a sentence or word. Peace... Sweetpoet (talk) 22:17, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

mayorazgo

"Indeed, in 1925, in the archive of the Castillian city of Simancas was found a document dated 28 September 1501 which is the confirmation of the mayorazgo, by the Kings of Spain."

This is simply NOT true. What was found was a confirmation of a 1497 authorization to make a mayorazgo. It is not the same thing as a confirmation of the document so called mayorazgo dated 1498. I don’t expect you to get your facts straight since the people you are quoting from did not get them straight either. I know you can’t read Portuguese or even Spanish but here is the actual document you call the mayorazgo. It starts with the words TRESLADO de ... which means COPY of ... then, this is important so put on your logic glasses and look at the last page. It is signed LOL not with the name of the transcriber, normal practice for the day, but signed with a forged signature of Cristóbal Colón. The signature is Forged, and the whole document is forged, understand? This document was presented to the court in 1586 by an Italian forgerer Balthazar Colombo from who pretended to prove he was a relative of Cristóbal Colón and failed.Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 19:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

If you look carefully you will even see that the date was 1598 and someone wrote a 4 over the 5.Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 20:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
