In the Foreign Relations sub-section of the Politics section, the "a" in "Spain claims Gibraltar, a Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom" should be changed to "an".

Thanks, will sort that now. Moons of Io (talk) 01:27, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions that the Phoenicians referred to the region as Spania (meaning "Land of rabbits"). But comparing to Hebrew sources, they most likely referred to the animal known in the Bible as "Shafan" -- hyrax. The mix up between these animals is common in Biblical translations, probably because both appear in the same verse in Leviticus 11:5-6. Amos083 (talk) 07:35, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Over the past few days, @[[User:Kusilini|Kusilini] has been trying to remove any form of mention of the decline of the Spanish Empire and any mention of the Spanish Armada. These are important times and dates in Spanish history. The peak and golden period of the Spanish Empire is well noted. There should also be a mention on what caused the decline of its empire, as the norm on any European country page which had a colonial empire.

:That's not true, check my latest edits carefully. The Spanish Armada is mentioned and I have added, with numerous sources, when the decline of the Spanish Empire began.
