I'm copyediting this article to get it out of the Copyeditors' Guild backlog. § Family history, which I've just created as a subsection of § Biography, contains this paragraph (emphasis and colors added):
Now,
This is so tangled, both in content and in reference (
"Third base!"), that at this time I'm not going to try to straighten it out. Rather, I'm ending the paragraph at "confiscated in 1583 during the time of Elizabeth I", referencing this talk section for the removed* text. --

* Instead of removing the text, I commented it out in HTML. That way its place in the text is quite clear to whoever takes on the task of untangling it. -- Thnidu ( talk) 05:28, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
§ Early army fighting against Napoleon's forces (1808–09) says:
This "General Freire" is not further identified anywhere in the article. I think he cannot be General Ramón Freire, President of Chile in the 1820s; nor the Portuguese General Bernardim Freire de Andrade, lynched by his own men in 1809.
The likeliest candidate I've been able to find is Manuel Freire de Andrade; however, apparently he was not promoted to general until at least 1810:
Could he be Gomes Freire de Andrade, instead? Executed in 1817. Sankta mardo, his article is a godawful mess; it looks like it was written in another language (Portuguese?), then fed into Google Translate or some similar machine, chewed up, and spat out.
