Sorry for the delay. Its quite a longish article and I've just done a couple of quick skim-reads of the article. It looks comprehensive, well reference and well referenced, so my initial impression is that its somewhere between GA and FA. Having said that, I'm now going to work my way through the article section by section, starting at Life and times, working my way to the end and then doing the WP:Lead. My intention is to have this section completed by or during the weekend. Its also worth noting that at this stage I mostly be looking to see if there are any "problems" (for minor ones its often quicker to fix them, rather than list them, wait, and then check them). So if I don't find very many "problems" I will not be writing very much here. Pyrotec ( talk) 19:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
...stopping for now. To be continued. Pyrotec ( talk) 20:13, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Quite a good lead. Pyrotec ( talk) 20:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Quite a comprehensive topic on the life and works of this historical (but perhaps overlooked) person.
I'm pleased to be able to award this article GA-status. Its a strong GA, and I believe that it is well on the way to being an FA. Pyrotec ( talk) 20:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
The claims of las Casas' being of converso heritage are unsubstantiated and in fact contradicted by himself during his life time as he claimed to be a descendent of one of the old christian families of Seville. None of his known family members or ancestors have been classified as conversos, nor have they been the subject of inquisitory processes of crypto-jewishness. There is no factual basis for the claims that he had a jewish heritage, and the sources given (jewish virtual library and a selfpublished book) are not reliable or notable. ·ʍaunus· snunɐw· 19:23, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Other sources besides the very-reliable and -notable Jewish Virtual Library discuss whether Las Casas was a converso or ben Anusim (See, e.g., Jose Rabasa's "Inventing America" and Dr. Dan Bursztyn's "The conquest's converted converter".). Know what you're discussing before you discuss it.
