New Spain
Is there a reason, why the viceroyalty of New Spain is not mentioned? To me this looks like writing about Kansas without mentioning, that it is in the United States. The political framework of the Spanish dominions in the new world seems to be missing completely. --h-stt !?  09:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. I have just added this, along with Captaincy General and intendancy status. -- Beland (talk) 20:23, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Disputed accuracy
This article makes many claims without providing reliable sources to back them up. And in some of the cases when it does provide a source, the source does not support the text used in the article. After tagging many sentences with cn, a template such as disputed is better suited since there are so many instances of the same issue. &mdash;Ahnoneemoos (talk) 20:59, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

17 edits by 214.3.138.230
This edit came up on my watchlist. After looking at the linked main article, I decided to revert it AGF, with an explanation mentioning the cite-supported snippet there saying, "Betances then suggested an outright island-wide rebellion, with a proclamation of independence as soon as possible. and mentions of WP:V and MOS:HEAD]]." When I tried the revert, I saw that this edit was the final one in a string of 17 edits. The changes ,ade by the other 16 can be seen here. I don't know enough about the topic to get into that, and I let it stand. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Scope, etc.
Some of the content of this article appears to be out of scope for the topic History of Puerto Rico. I'll mention other issues below. I have not tried to address any of that because I suspect that might not be as simple as it looks at first glance and I have enough other work on my plate right now.

 * The final sentence of the lead, "However, the political status of Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth controlled by the United States, remains an anomaly.", appears to be out of scope for the topic.
 * If that final sentence is to remain, political status of Puerto Rico should probably be wikilinked to that article.
 * That final sentence flouts WP:DATED.
 * It's not clear what article body content that refers to -- perhaps the Statehood issue section, perhaps PR's status re the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories that is mentioned in the article on PR's political status, perhaps tther items of in-scope interest.
