There is a discussion about the correct way to link to this article at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#War of the Triple Alliance / Paraguayan War (if the diversity of names should be respected, or if the same name should be used everywhere). All users interested may contribute to the discussion and help reach a consensus. Cambalachero (talk) 02:17, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Too many images tag

as added by Cambalachero at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paraguayan_War&diff=prev&oldid=453385866. I'd just like to say that there are indeed quite a lot of images, but they seem to be well selected and for me they enhance the article. Would anyone support removing this tag?

You're correct, Richard, but I took the liberty to remove some of the picures with Brazilians. --Lecen (talk) 12:02, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

There are still some sections with text sandwiched between images, which is rejected by MOS:IMAGES and the reason I placed the tag in the first place. Cambalachero (talk) 12:23, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

What happened to this article?

I learned a great deal about the Triple Alliance War several yars ago from this article. Now it looks more like a newspaper editorial than an encyclopedic article. it doesn't even give a chronological account of the progress of the war, and the two main battles (Tuyuti, curupaiti) are barely mentioned without any context. I don't really care if the article is POV or not, as an smart reader can distinguish facts from BS, but one would expect the article to give a complete and organized account of the course of the war. I think we would bette off by just restoring a older version (circa 2005) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.208.197.171 (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

The article does present a chronological account of the war. If there is something missing (and you haven't specified what is "incomplete"), please improve the article by adding the material, with references, to the article. • Astynax ^talk 18:55, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Just look at the infobox. The article should follow the same flow. From reading just the article is impossible to tell if, say, the battle of Tuyuti happened before or after the battle of Curupaiti, and whether these battles happened before or after the fall of Humaita. The article just throws names of battles and places here and there, assuming the reader already knows the order in which they happened and the effect they have in the overall campaign. this has noting to do with POV but just with basic article quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.208.197.171 (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

We know that and we appreciate your concern, but we are merely volunteers here. We can't improve every single article. And even with did that in here, we would certainly face Hispanic-American Wikipedians accusing us of "Brazilian POV". --Lecen (talk) 20:03, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
