[edit]

Looking at the history of this article, it appears that a certain anonymous IP likes to come in and edit this article based upon a non-neutral POV he has. His edit summaries are non-cordial and reveal somewhat his intent. I would recommend fellow editors to keep an eye on this article for edits by this anon IP. --Morenooso (talk) 12:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, the idea seems to be that the name Bazán is not Basque, so his mother must have not been Basque. I'm not sure how strong an argument that is--do surnames in Spain always indicate ethnicity with no exceptions? Seems hard to believe, but what do I know? I'm just quoting the source I had when writing the page. The book is impressively researched and seems highly reliable, but certainly the author could have made a mistake. Still, without another source about Ignacio's parents I see no reason to dismiss Tovell. Pfly (talk) 22:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's hard to know without getting into original research. We could suppose all we like about this name, that lineage etc. But, when reliably sourced citations are provided, it becomes verifiable fact. ----moreno oso (talk) 22:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
