Well that's too bad because the event took place on March 19 ; ) (Source: Charles Esdaile: The Peninsular War (New York, 2003), p. 34). Actually, this article needs a lot more work, just like the Ferdinand VII article, as they both are not clear enough about the relationship between France and Spain at the time. But I'll start working on it! Renke 22:09, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Silver 8 reales coin picture

Does that picture really belong in this article? While it was minted during the reign of Charles IV and bears his name, it's actually a portrait of his father, Charles III, on the coin. 75.76.213.106 ( talk) 04:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Copyedit tag being put on article

For the second time recently someone has put a This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling tag on this article which I went to a lot of trouble to re-write a month or so ago because it was copied from hundred year old books and full of absurdly antiquated language. Of course the article may not be perfect now, I am not saying there cannot be any problems with it, but instead of putting that tag on the article, could the person or persons who have done that please either say here on this talk page what the problems they see are or fix them themselves. Thanks. Smeat75 ( talk) 16:21, 6 May 2013 (UTC) reply

Sockpuppet edits and copyvio

I've just rolled back to a version without copyvio and sock edits. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Turgeis. As for the tags mentioned above, it was one of the socks who added them. Dougweller ( talk) 18:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC) reply

"King" should be capitalised when referring to a specific person

An editor went through the article and changed "the King" to "the king" in every instance, citing MOS guidelines, but what they say is WP:JOBTITLES Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, pope, bishop, abbot, executive director are common nouns and therefore should be in lower case when used generically...They are capitalized only in the following cases:...When a title is used to refer to a specific and obvious person as a substitute for their name, e.g. the Queen, not the queen, referring to Elizabeth II and since "the King" and "the Queen" are used in this article to refer specifically to Charles IV and Maria Amalia, I have changed the article back to the way it was before.

Continental blockade and battle of Trafalgar

>>> Spain remained an ally of France and supported the Continental Blockade until the British naval victory at Trafalgar, [...]

This does not seem to make much sense chronologically. The linked articles give the start date for the continental blockade as November 21, 1806 and the date for the battle as 21 October 1805. So how did the Spanish manage to support something before the battle that only came into existence over a year after the battle? 217.233.121.98 ( talk) 14:32, 20 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Corrected it. Thanks for the notice. Cheers! Thinker78 (talk) 17:01, 20 August 2022 (UTC) reply
