Fadrique de Toledo
La batalla de Gibraltar tuvo lugar en 1621. La cuestión es que he estado investigando y no he hallado referencia alguna a la supuesta batalla contra los holandeses en el Cabo de San Vicente. Cesáreo Fernández Duro menciona que, poco antes del combate en el estrecho, Fadrique de Toledo estuvo protegiendo el paso de la Flota de Indias cerca de San Vicente, pero la flota holandesa no hizo aparición. Tal vez el redactor del artículo se haya confundido con la victoria de Fajardo en 1606. ElBufon (talk) 06:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italian Wars
I noticed that you've been creating and improving articles on the Italian Wars at a steady pace over the past weeks, and I would like to present you with these WikiChevrons in recognition of your outstanding efforts to improve these topics. This is quite an obscure topic on Wikipedia—there is only a handful of editors working on these articles with any degree of regularity—and I'm very happy to welcome you to the club, such as it is. I look forward to seeing more of your work! Kirill[talk][prof]00:33, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Putting the men who died during the occupation as a battle casualties seems not neutral. Half of the British troops died of disease before the town was restored to Spain. So, why not add them to the infobox? Because the Battle of Havana had already ended. --
The state of the ships after the battle or the dead by sick during the siege and ocupation are important points to know the outcome and the consequences of the military actions. For example, in the Spanish Armada, most of the Spanish losses and casualties occurred after the battle. History696912:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But the Spanish Armada wasn't a battle, it's just the name given to a fleet and an attempted invasion. A good analogy would be to include the drowned men and wrecked ships on the coasts of Ireland in the infobox of an article about the Battle of Gravelines. A nonsense, since those men weren't killed in any battle. Moreover, why only the British who died before 18 October? The British occupation lasted many more months and more British died. But, as I said, count all those men as casualties of the battle would be like counting Blas de Lezo as a casualty of Cartagena or Gravina of the Battle of Trafalgar. --
The Spanish Armada wasn't a battle, but Gravelines yes. The majority of Spanish casualties and losses were caused by the storms after the battle. Is a good example! Lezo contracted the disease after the battle, not during, and Gravina was a casualty (wounded), and finally died by the wounds suffered during the battle. The British troops at Havana contracted the diseases during the siege and ocupation (the occupation and control of the city is implicit in the military action). History6969 1:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Peninsular War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Córdoba (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Thank you for your contributions on the Peninsular War articles, but your edits seem to me to be be trying slightly too hard to promote a Spanish POV. If you want to make content changes you should comply with site content policy by (1) providing reliable sources, (2) respecting existing consensus, and (3) discussing changes (especially on current featured articles). Thanks, EyeSerenetalk14:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you recently added some articles about the Peninsular War. Welcome to military history article-writing! The articles lacked a defaultsort tag so they were all listed under B for Battle or C for Combat. I added the tag to the articles, but you may want to include it in the future. See the DEFAULTSORT tag right before the Category list in the Battle of Cogorderos article. This will sort the battles into alphabetical order. (Or maybe you know all this but just forgot.)
If you would like to add information on the war from the Spanish viewpoint, please consider writing an article about Francisco Copons. He seems to have been a capable general who fought in many engagements. See my Siege of Tarifa (1812) article as an example. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 06:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Campaña del Palatinado
Hola, History6969. Soy el autor de los artículos de la Wikipedia en español sobre la campaña del Palatinado. Celebro tu interés por la materia (también he visto que has creado una plantilla sobre la Guerra de Sucesión de Jülich-Cleves-Berg). Si quieres continuar con este tipo de trabajos y necesitas fuentes, ponte en contacto conmigo en mi página de discusión. --Weymar Horren (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias Weymar Horren, y gran trabajo también el tuyo. History6969 6:56, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hola de nuevo. Permíteme que te haga un pequeño comentario sobre Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba y su participación en la campaña: no es posible que este general tomase parte en los asedios a Heidelberg y Mannheim, ya que en las mismas fechas en que estos se desarrollaron Córdoba se hallaba presente en el asedio de Bergen op Zoom. También he encontrado algunos detalles sobre los soldados ingleses en Bacharach: los capitanes se llamaban Dexter y Row. Vere los acantonó en la población con 94 enfermos y algunas tiendas de campaña, arcones y otro bagaje. Fueron bien tratados, y tras el pago de un rescate se les permitió regresar a Inglaterra. (Fuente).
Buenas Weymar Horren. Este es un tema controvertido ya que las fechas coinciden con varios enfrentamientos, y las fuentes que yo consulté no eran muy claras respecto a donde se encontraba Córdoba, incluso algunas se contradicen. Por lo que yo se, y según las fuentes que he revisado, después de las batallas de Wimpfen y Höchst, las fuerzas de Vere, situadas en Heidelberg, Mannheim y Frankenthal, se ven rodeadas por el ejército de Córdoba y Tilly, y se pone sitio a Heidelberg el 23 de julio. El asedio de Bergen op Zoom por parte de Spinola comenzó el 8 de julio, algunos días antes que el de Heidelberg. Ante la imposibilidad de aliviar el Palatinado, Federico V acabó por cancelar el contrato con el ejército de Mansfeld y Brunswick, el cual seguidamente fue contratado por los holandeses. Tras esto, Spinola se encontraba en una situación peligrosa, ya que podía ser atrapado por dos ejércitos enemigos y sin posibilidad de una retirada hacia Amberes. Con estas noticias, Córdoba parte del Palatinado en ayuda de Spinola, e intercepta y aplasta a Mansfeld y Brunswick en Fleurus (29 de agosto). Mannheim es otra historia. Lo que tengo claro, es que a no ser que regresara al Palatinado después de Fleurus y acabado el asedio de Bergen op Zoom, no estuvo en Mannheim ni de turista. No tengo ni idea si regresó al Palatinado en el mismo mes que acabó el asedio de Bergen op Zoom, pero por fechas si que pudo estar, ya que Bergen op Zoom acabó el 2 de octubre, y el asedio de Mannheim comenzó el 20 de octubre. (Fuente 1)(Fuente 2)(Fuente 3)(Fuente 4). Buena información sobre los soldados ingleses. Saludos. History696914:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
De nuevo saludos. He revisado la correspondencia personal de Córdoba, publicada por la Real Academia de la Historia en 1869. (Enlace). Aunque no entra en el abanico de "reliable sources" de Wikipedia, tiene un gran valor histórico y nos puede servir para orientar nuestros pasos. Después del asedio de Bergen op Zoom Córdoba fue enviado con el ejército del Palatinado a combatir a los protestantes en Westfalia, donde Christian de Brunswick se había hecho fuerte con la ayuda de holandeses y brandemburgueses (prusianos). Córdoba estuvo allí, como mucho, hasta 1624, pues al año siguiente aparece como gobernador del Milanesado. Tras la derrota de Christian en Stadtlohn a manos de Tilly, las ciudades que ocupaban sus hombres cayeron como la fruta madura. Por desgracia sé muy poco sobre esta campaña, en la que debieron de participar las tropas españolas. En el Rijkmuseum de Amsterdam se conserva un grabado que lleva por título "Beleg en inname van Lippstadt door de Spanjaarden, 1624", o sea, Sitio y captura de Lippstadt por los españoles, 1624. (Enlace).--Weymar Horren (talk) 18:17, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Así es Weymar, Córdoba regresó al Palatinado para humillar un poco más a Brunswick antes de ocupar el cargo de gobernador de Milán, pero yo me refería a si regresó en el mismo mes que acabó el asedio de Bergen op Zoom para unirse de nuevo a Tilly y capturar Mannheim. Según las fuentes que he consultado, no dice nada al respecto. No conocía el asedio de Lippstadt. Otra victoria más para las armas españolas. Buena información, si señor. Otro episodio del que se sabe poco es la campaña del ejército de Alsacia al mando del Gran Duque de Feria 1633. Por desgracia, gran cantidad de estas victorias, en su tiempo importantes éxitos, finalmente fueron eclipsadas por los acontecimientos futuros. Saludos.

Hola, History6969. ¿Has pensado en ampliar los últimos artículos que has creado (Sluis, Doullens, Le Catelet...) usando material de las antiguas relaciones y crónicas de las guerras de Flandes? Online se encuentran las de Alonso Vázquez, Bernardino de Mendoza, Antonio Carnero, Carlos Coloma, Guido Bentivoglio, Pompeo Giustiniano y algunas en inglés y francés. Saludos. --Weymar Horren (talk) 09:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Pues la verdad que no lo he pensado, pero es una buena idea, aunque no creo que vaya ampliar mucho más esos artículos. Por cierto, buen trabajo con la batalla de Lippe. Si te soy sincero estaba pensando en crear ese artículo yo también. Espero que sigas creando y colaborando en la Wikipedia inglesa, porque supongo que además eres el mismo "Weymar Horren" del foro de historia militar el Gran Capitán, y debo decir que tus artículos son geniales. Saludos. History6969 1:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Hola, y gracias. Intentaré colaborar en la medida que mis ocupaciones me lo permitan. ¿Has pensado crear un artículo sobre la batalla de Mülheim? --Weymar Horren (talk) 06:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, Weymar Horren. ¿Lo quieres crear tú? Si que lo he pensado, pero tengo ahora otros artículos en la cabeza. Supongo que cuando tenga tiempo, y tenga ganas, seguiré creando artículos sobre batallas y asedios entre 1567 y 1604. Por cierto, estoy pensando también en si crear un artículo sobre la campaña de Francisco de Mendoza de 1598, incluyendo todas las plazas y ciudades capturadas, o ir una por una. ¿Cómo lo ves? Saludos. History696917:25, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ahora mismo tengo otras ocupaciones, pero en una o dos semanas lo crearé. Sobre la campaña del almirante de Aragón, creo que merece la pena un artículo que la trate globalmente. Individualmente, las operaciones no tienen mucha miga, pero en conjunto la campaña resulta interesante, ya que en parte se dio en tierras del Sacro Imperio e internivieron los estados protestantes del círculo de Baja Renania-Westfalia. En la Wikipedia en alemán el artículo existe: [1]. Saludos. --Weymar Horren (talk) 17:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Buenas King Philip. La verdad que ahora mismo no me apetece buscar ninguna referencia, pero recuerdo haber leído que, entre otros, la flota francesa estaba compuesta por rebeldes holandeses. Te invito a que sigas investigando la composición de la flota de Strozzi, y si no encuentras nada al respecto, suprime a los holandeses del apartado de los beligerantes hasta que alguien ponga una referencia clara de su participación en la batalla. En la Wikipedia en holandés también incluyen a los holandeses en la batalla. Saludos. History696915:50, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
