[edit] Neutrality

This article should be revised and expanded. I thin tht even if somebody has Galician blood in them or even a last name from Galicia they should be considered Galegos.. I wasnt born there but my name is from there and I consider myself one —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.182.41.16 (talk) 03:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tabaré Vázquez and Fidel Castro

Can anybody explain why Tabaré Vázquez and Fidel Castro are shown as representative galician? They both did not born in Galicia, Montevideo and Cuba. And I think Franco's picture is not a good option. --Galician 18:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't quote me on it but I think Franco was actually full blooded Galician. Although he may have been less, he was at least from Galicia and thus likely had some Galician ancestry. As far as Castro goes I remember reading somewhere that his parents were both from Galicia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.30.162.5 (talk) 17:24, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pablo Iglesias

I have been thinking galician personalities who can appear in the pictures. Pablo Iglesias, the fouder of UGT and the Spanish Socialist Party is a good option. I was thinking too in Castelao. --Galician 13:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I would also include Manu Chao on the list at the end of the article.195.252.87.116 15:04, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Argentinians-Galicians

There have to be a mistake with the numbers of the galicians in argentina, almost 2,5 millons of Spaniards arrived in argentina between 1850 and 1950.

Approximately the 70% of them where galicians, and the numbers of spaniards today in argentina is 25 millons, so check the numbers of the galicians in Argentina.

[edit] Ashamed

I am ashamed, as Galician one, an Galician speker, by this article. It is not neutral, in various ways. A Galician person is Galician or not. Fidel Castro is not a Galician, Niki Lauda is not a Galician, Simon Bolívar is not a Galician, etc, there are people descendants of Galicians, but they are no Galicians... But Salvador de Madariaga was a very universal Galician vip's and he is not in the list. There are not 10.000.000 of Galicians... 90 % Galician people today not speaks Galician language. To speak a language is not to say any words, very bad spelled, and mixtured of Spanish words with coinages of Spanish orations... An article over Galicia could say the true about these country and its people, not a Syrens tale and marvelous epic poem - Montes, 10 - X - 2007, 2:06

[edit] Historical region

I have added the term historical region in the definition of the article. I have done it because Galicia in one of the three historic nationalities in the spanish state. --Galician (talk) 16:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures of Galician People

Due to the pictures have seen changed quite often, taking off universal galicians like Rosalía Castro, Camilo Jose Cela,... I propose only four or five pictures as we can see in most of ethnic groups articles. And please, do not interfere adding people like Fidel Castro, Simon Bolívar, etc because they have galician origins, but they are not galicians. Besides, they are not representative of galician culture or its historical society.--Galician (talk) 16:52, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I propose:

• Politic field: Manuel Fraga, he was one of the most influent politics and galician history. And not Francisco Franco, because he just was borned in Galicia, not participating in its construction or in its politic directly.

• Artistic field: Rosalía de Castro. No discussion about this, and Eduardo Pondal, who wrote the Galician national anthem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galician (talk • contribs) 17:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

• Politic and Artictic field: Castelao, he was one of the fathers of galician nationalism, and I thinks it is a good idea to show the two politic currents, the galician nationalism (Castelao) and the spanish one(Manuel Fraga) --Galician (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the good image of Rosalia de Castro? The current photo is so faded and inferior you wouldn't recognise her if she did a Lazarus!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Provocateur (talk • contribs)

You have to ask that question at Commons, it was speedily deleted there for lack of licence. Regards, Asterion^talk 12:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edit

I fixed a misspelling in the article: "molusks" to "mollusks". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.75.97.234 (talk) 15:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

¿Por qué carallo han quitado a Eugenio Monterio Ríos? En España el derecho procesal está basado en el que hizo él hace más de cien años. Lo que habla bien de lo visionario que fue. --91.116.183.203 (talk) 17:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing Sentence

The following is the first sentence under the A Revival and a sense of national willpower section: "Nationalism meeting in 1931 Following the union of the kingdoms of Aragón and Castille, Galicia became swallowed up in the creation of the Spanish protostate..." Is there someone who can rewrite the beginning of this to make sense? I don't understand the first part as written. Kman543210 (talk) 07:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
