Talk:Falklands Crisis of 1770

Diplomatic success
The Falklands Crisis was a sure British diplomatic success by refusing to back down. There are sources that state this. In Three Victories and a Defeat the author says that Britain 'won' the Crisis. ChristiaandeWet (talk) 01:32, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've read both opinions, to be honest. Exactly what is your point? --Langus (t) 23:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The point to add it as an inclusion into the box itself. ChristiaandeWet (talk) 19:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Nicholas Reference
It is said that " The Foreign Office "began to mobilise for a potential war". " and the citation for this is "Nicholas (1998), Oxford University Press, p. 103". Unfortunately, it's not clear who Nicholas is, this book is not mentioned anywhere else on the page. I'm sure it's just an accidental oversight but clarification would be welcomed. 209.151.140.63 (talk) 04:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

✅ -- There were a couple of errors in the citation template. Now the title should be visible. Thanks! --Langus (t) 02:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Prince of Masseran
Luciano Coda, Better to talk here and get other opinions instead of having edit wars. You seem to be insisting on using the correct Spanish spelling of 'Masserano'. However, we should use the correct English spelling which appears to be 'Masseran'. You backed your choice of 'Masserano' with two Italian language sources which is a little pointless in my opinion. I have not thoroughly checked various English language sources to see which spelling is commoner. Others might have a comment to make? Roger 8 Roger (talk) 21:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Roger 8 Roger, "Masserano" is not a Spanish word, but italian. It is the location where the princedom was.(See Principato di Masserano and Masserano, Masserano). That's why I cited italian sources (very rliable ones). The ambassador is Vittorio Filippo Ferrero-Fieschi (itwiki) prince of Masserano, he was ambassador of Spain charged by king Carlos III (not Spanish ambassador) because he is Italian and lived in Spain. Anyway my opinion is (basing on the following facts):


 * 1) Since the location name of the Princedom (Masserano) was not translated into English or angliciced in the official page on Wikipedia, there is no need to keep foreign name versions like Maseran/Masseran/Maserano, because it is not useful to trace the location or the real person and there is no existing commoner english spelling.
 * 2) See i.e. english:Duke of Cambridge, the location that gives the name is Cambridge. Italian:Duca di Cambridge, tha original name is kept, because there is no exiisting translation of Cambridge into italian.
 * 3) i.e. english:King of Naples, but in Italian:Re di Napoli (the english translation exists)
 * 4) i.e. Duke of Milan/Duca di Milano  - as well - Milan/Milano

This is the point :) --Luciano Coda (talk) 22:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * A quick search of google scholar gives me "prince of masseran = 9, "prince of maserno" = 0. I am not sure what relevance has the Italian language or a wiki commons page to references to this debate, which is about this English language article. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 22:05, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
