Inaccuracies on General Capitaincy of Guatemala
The General Capitaincy of Guatemala included, besides the named countries, Nicaragua. Eni2dad (talk) 13:45, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

"Old Guatemala" was the 3rd site of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala, the capital of the Capitaincy. It was first at Iximche (25 July 1524), in 1527 it was moved to the valley of Almolonga (now known as "Ciudad Vieja"). In 1543 it was moved to the valley of Paychoy (now known as "Antigua Guatemala") and, in 1773 to the current site in the valley of Asunción with the name of Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción ("New Guatemala of the Assumption"). Thus, "Old Guatemala"(Antigua Guatemala) was the capital only from 1543-1773. Thus, the capital was not at "Old Guatemala" during the entire period mentioned in this article.

 * This is true, but I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. It was certainly the capital while all of the principal events took place. If there is a mistaken reference somewhere in the article, please be specific about where. Thanks, Simon Burchell (talk) 14:44, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I have now revised the entire article, searching on "Santiago", "Antigua", "Ciudad", "Iximche" etc. and have found no mention of where Santiago was in any given year, making its location irrelevant. The Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala article is linked from the text, and describes the various relocations. At any rate, for almost the entire period covered by this article, Santiago was at the Antigua Guatemala site, the exception being during Cortes' crossing of Petén, during the very early stages of the Spanish conquest. So, as far as I can see, there are no inaccuraces - but please point them out if I have missed them. Simon Burchell (talk) 08:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
