Talk:Guardia Civil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They typically patrol in pairs. Their traditional hat is the tricornio, originally three-beaked. Many of their members were drawn from poor regions of Spain such as Galicia.
It is a joke? Please, check the Spanish or other version and rewrite the article. The actual English version is very short, subjetive and inaccurate.--Menah the Great 12:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'd love to, but I don't know Spanish. Perhaps you could act as the banner carrier for this rewrite, since it seems you do? :) Joffeloff 17:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

- The Spanish Civil Guard is well described in this article. It's maybe a bit short. I don't agree with the affirmation of which many of its members are coming from poor regions (it doesn't appear yet in the article, well done). It is true that initially this was like that, by what there were called they deserters of the plough; but now very diverse people, included university licentiates, request their revenue in the corps. In its origins the principal function of the Civil Guard was the alertness of the ways, principally in the rural zones; and the struggle against the racketeering. Now the Civil Guard is one of the most effective and complete police corps of the world, as it's said in the article. In my opinion only a little amplification would be needed, and also there is suitable a reference to its creator, the duke of Ahumada. I recommend the official web page to get information.

This article does not describe the criticisms of the Guardia Civil, such as accusasions of torture by Basque activists. There should be more about the treatment of the Basques.

[edit] Requested move
Rationale: Rationale: Both pages linking to same article, there is no other country Guardia Civil page in en.wiki. Even if, let's say, Guardia Civil (Perú) gets started, a Guardia Civil (disambiguation) could take care of that.
