The third-to-last paragraph in the Siege section references the siege of Badajoz, but the link points to the wrong one - Wellington's siege of Badajoz, in 1812. It should point to what is called the First Siege of Badajoz, in 1811, where Marshal Soult originally captured the fortress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.97.42.5 (talk) 17:33, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The In Literature section has a citation-needed tag on the reference to Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel, but it is not clear to me why. The novel is as described, a murder mystery set during the Siege of Cádiz, and there is already a bibliographic reference to it on the Arturo Pérez-Reverte page, which is linked to his name here. Of course, the novel is a primary source for its content, not a secondary one, but I don't see a need here for a secondary source to confirm what the novel is about.
