May Revolution

 * Nominator(s): Cambalachero (talk) 20:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it is a key event in the history of Argentina, and I have worked a lot with it. I worked first with Argentine books, as those made the most comprehensive study of this topic (not surprising), but I checked some books in English as well. I have also trimmed down some parts to related articles, but trying to keep this as an article that could be understood on its own, having in mind that most readers from outside Argentina or even South America are unlikely to have even a clue on who were this people or the events described.

All the issues pointed during the previous nominations were addressed by then. This article has been promoted to A-Class by the Military History wikiproject. Cambalachero (talk) 20:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Quick comment: the ISBN for Mariano Moreno by Miguel Ángel Scenna is showing an error, you should double check if it's correct. Also, try to standardize to 13-digit ISBNs if you can. Mark Arsten (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is correct, I have just checked the book. I saw the explanation at Category:Articles with invalid ISBNs, and everything seems to be fine: 987 is used on most Argentine books, no invalid characters, 13 digits, begins with 978... and, as said, that ISBN is exactly the one written in the book Cambalachero (talk) 02:54, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting, well, I guess there's nothing you can do then. I'd recommend adding OCLCs for books without ISBNs, but I don't think that's a requirement. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure if I'll get to do a full review, but I just read a couple sections and the prose looks like it's in good shape. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment: it may be helpful to give a page number for source 228. A non-Spanish person may want a page to insure verifiability. JZCL 17:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Image review
 * File:Declaration_independence.jpg is tagged as lacking source info
 * File:La_Reconquista_de_Buenos_Aires.jpg: source link returns 404 error
 * File:Piramide-de-Mayo-Buenos-Aires.jpg: who created the sculpture? Nikkimaria (talk) 22:53, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. The link for "La Reconquista..." broke since I uploaded the file, but it shouldn't be a problem, the description does something better than that, it points the museum where the physical portrait can be find, and the license does not involve any particular web page. Cambalachero (talk) 00:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Based on the information you've added for the first image, it appears that its licensing tag is incorrect - reproductions of 2D works should be licensed based on the creator of the original work, not whoever reproduced it. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Strange, I thought I had already done that in the past. Cambalachero (talk) 02:16, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
