[edit] Naming of articles

Old talk from the article Captaincy General, before merger:

It would be better to have a single article for "Capitaincy/Capitania/Capitanía/Capitaincy-General/Capitão-Mor/etc.", and a separate one for "Capitaincies of Brazil", the latter containing what is presently at Capitania. Some redirects from the Spanish and Portuguese names to the English name would be convenient, too. FilipeS 19:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Or just merge the articles. FilipeS 19:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I think you're right and I tried to merge the articles but to move them it would be necessary to make a request in a special page and the bureaucracy kept me from doing it. Dantadd 21:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

There is also a disambiguation page named Captaincy. I have proposed a merger of the three. Let's wait some time, and see if anyone objects.

Meanwhile, I've merged Capitán General and Capitão-Mor into Captain General. FilipeS 22:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Merged Captaincy General and Captaincies of Brazil into the disambiguation stub Captaincy. FilipeS 11:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
