Provinces of the Captaincy-General

- @Howcheng: Interesting! So, that article contends that, indeed, the administrative structure was repeatedly revised in the decades before independence. The map included in the External Links section of that article, dating from 1764, depicts what it calls the "Provinces de Nicaragua et Costa Rica" (in French), so it seems that there were still many provinces in the Captaincy-General as of the 1760s. The citation for those paragraphs is unfortunately offline; still, if the substance of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala article is correct, it sounds like the provinces had just been consolidated from seven to two literally the year prior to independence, so maybe the writers of the Act just continued to refer to the various parts of the region as "provinces" even though they had recently ceased to technically be such? That makes it tricky, if even the people present at the time were uncertain as to whether to use the centuries-old traditional terms or the ones that had recently come into force under the Cádiz Cortes.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk)

- @Howcheng: Yeah, that would help! Actually, it looks like the source cited in the other article is on Google Books here, but I'm not sure how informative it really is; it's a long book, and I haven't tried to read it all, and it's not all online. It looks like the reorganization of the region was bound up with the chaos of the Napoleonic Wars and the formation of the Cádiz Cortes that eventually led to independence. I guess it seems to me that the question is whether the article should try to reflect the official Spanish government terms and divisions current at the time of the Act, even though the Act's text does not seem to do so; maybe this article could be adjusted to refer to the different subdivisions of Central America as "former provinces" or somesuch? Could something like that seem satisfactory to you?-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 16:48, 14 September 2018 (UTC)]

- @Howcheng: I think that's a great solution! I'll write it up tonight, if I can make the time, or you should feel free to, if you know how you'd like it to read. Thanks for talking this through with me! -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:02, 14 September 2018 (UTC)]
- Go for it, I've got far too much other stuff to do. Thanks. —chat} 21:08, 14 September 2018 (UTC)]

Expanding on the pre-article sections of this article
Hello everyone! My name is Matthew and I am a junior History and Political Science double major at the College of Wooster who is currently taking a class entitled 'Modern Latin America'. I have come across this article in the process of researching the period of Mexican occupation in Central America from 1822-1823. This brought me here, as this was an important document at the time. I found the first three body paragraphs in the article to be somewhat lacking, and so I hope to expand on them. Further, there are parts of the sections "Independence Movements" and "Promulgation of the Act" that lack citations, but I believe I could do this article a service by locating some scholarly sources on these topics and adding them in to strengthen the claims made. So, to clarify, my edits would include expanding/adding sources to the first, second, and third paragraphs from the "Independence movements" section of the article to the "Aftermath and union with Mexico" section. I look forward to making a useful contribution to this article!--
