Translation of Article in Spanish
Hello Fellow Wikipedians! I just finished translating this article from the Spanish article (which has considerably more information) and adding several contemporary records of the acts, historical and biographical information of Caupolican: Specifically the records of the Spanish conquistadors Alonso de Gongora Marmolejo, Pedro Mariño de Lobera and Jeronimo de Vivar. Note that these historians aren't completely unbiased (unfortunately), but they have the best historical information to date on the subject, also note that the two of the publication dates on their works are from the 1800s, but the original source documents are contemporary of the time of Caupolican. I did the best I could to omit biased comments on part of the writer of the Spanish article and many unnecessary and very long quotes from Ercilla's work, but if I did miss anything that should not be on Wikipedia (for bias or any other reason) please correct it.

Death
I got the information about this guy being staked by colonizing spaniards while his wife had to watch, from the wikipedia article on ppl being staked to death. Excuse the ad hominem, but I hope that lifeless 15yrold vigilantes such as "RazorICE" are not the backbone of wikipedia editing.

Biographical sources
I think that everyone should be careful to take with a grain of salt all biographical information about Caupolican. To be precise, the only semi-contemporary source from where the information is extracted is the epic poem "La Araucana" by Alonso de Ercilla, written about 20 years after the events, and based on part on personal interviews with participants still alive. But it was a poem, not a history... Mel Romero 12:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
