I am told the general academic consensus about the Comentarios Reales by G de la Vega nowadays is that it bears more importance as a historical document and literary achievement than as a reliable source for historic information.

I found numerous inuendo to discredit "El Inca"'s integrity, but no facts whatsoever to back it up. I do not speak Spanish and rely on translations.

Question: is there anything written in the Comentarios Reales which can be construed as a fiction for a fact.

[edit] Confusing template

I added the confusing template as it looks like the various sections of this article appear in at least two, and sometimes three different versions. The article isn't very legible as it is now.--Ramdrake 01:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1975garcilaso billete.jpg

Image:1975garcilaso billete.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
