The article suggests that Godoy disapproved of the territorial exchange, but the quote seems to approve of it. Is this a contradiction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aavichabi ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Now corrected.

I tried to look up the Godoy quote ("(Louisiana) not yielding much to our treasury, nor to our trade, and generating sizeable expenses in money and soldiers, ...the return...can be deemed as a gain, instead of a sacrifice...(Tuscany), cultivation perfect, industry flourishing, trade expanded...a million and a half inhabitants; state revenues of about three million pesos fuertes... The weakness of this argument is France was effectively returning territory to those it had taken it from in the first place.") at pp. 47-59 of Volume 2 of Godoy's memoirs, but I could not find it on those pages. Either I missed it, or it's elsewhere in the work. Jeff in CA ( talk) 07:40, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
User:GENQUEST I will admit to getting irritated by people blandly referencing Wikipedia 'guidelines' without explaining how it helps the article. I've read the guidelines before; they are (as ever) capable of interpretation and say 'Its a guideline.'
How can be distracting to know which negotiator worked for which country? I asked politely for an explanation and I think its reasonable to expect an answer. Robinvp11 ( talk) 18:27, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
