Dates need fixing

[edit]

"Policarpa, Alejo, and other six prisoners, were given the same sentence as those who dared to betray The Crown, Execution by firing squad set for the early hours of the morning of November 24.

The hour chosen for her execution was 9 AM, in the morning of November 14, 1817. La Pola marched..."

So which was it, November 24 or November 14? gibby66us 03:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

[edit]

YOH HAVE SPELT HER NAME INCORRECTLY in the body of the text. If you cannot be bothered to spell check the material then the value of this site is reduced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mstimson (talkcontribs) 10:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know where the name was mispelled, i do not see where. mijotoba (talk) 15:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup and tag removal...

[edit]

I've completed a re-write of this article and removed all tags. In the case of the NPOV tag I found no discussion whatsoever on the relevant talk page, and little justification for its use. Thank you, Shir-El too (talk) 07:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great job. I've put the references into templates for standardization, but is there any way we could get at least one English language reference for those of us who only remember enough Spanish to navigate when on vacation? lol. ArielGold 08:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Will Google it and see what comes up. Thank you, Shir-El too (talk) 23:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

I'm not really sure that "Neogranadine" could be considered a valid nationality. Nueva Granada was a part of Spain, and was never a nation called as such; her nationality would be Spanish, all her revolutionary acts notwithstanding. Will (talk) 07:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I called the St. Augustin Church in Bogota myself and had friends go to the church to inquire about the resting place for Policarpa Salavarrieta. Though they did acknowledge that she was laid to rest at the church intitally when her brothers, who were priests at the church claimed her body after she was executed. Her remains were eventually relocated to Guaduas, Cundinamarca after the community in that area requested that her remains be returned to what appeared to be the most likely place on her birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.102.125 (talk) 17:39, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resting place

[edit]

Spanish wikipedia seems to suggest that her bodily remains are today in the national pantheon at Veracruz church, not St. Augustin. Is there any source for the statement in this article? --91.32.239.105 (talk) 09:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
