![]() | A fact from Falklands Crisis of 1770 appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 27 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
| ![]() |
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)
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)
Done -- There were a couple of errors in the citation template. Now the title should be visible. Thanks! --

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 it:Principato di Masserano and it:Masserano, en:Masserano). That's why I cited italian sources (very rliable ones). The ambassador is it: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):
This is the point :) -- Luciano Coda ( talk) 22:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
