Prose
[edit]This could be presented better using prose, but I won't use a template because the title says "timeline" which usually don't have prose. Mr. Spink talk★contribs 14:52, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Prose 2
[edit]I want to write about the voyage in prose, using the Bergreen book among others as a source, with thorough citations. Seeing as the title does not suggest that this is a timeline, and that an article covering the voyage itself is missing, I see no problems with it. Does anyone object? If not, then I'll start this week.--Simen113 (talk) 14:57, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Okay I will now start writing this article in prose since no objections were noted. @Ekem: I will keep the timeline at the bottom, and elaborate and cite it. Any objections from your part, since you created the article? @Mr. Spink:, thought I'd notify you too --Simen113 (talk) 18:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Simen113:, I wish you the best luck and hope you do well to convert the article. Mr. Spink talk★contribs 19:15, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Poor
[edit]This isn't very helpful... but this is a damn poor article on one of the most famous nautical events in history, no background no details it's just bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:AA0C:2700:9D79:1576:565A:5452 (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
And the Date they left Rio de Janeiro: December 32, seriously? This is a shame of an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.73.101.79 (talk) 10:48, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Although the Ferdinand Magellan article points to this one as the "main" article, that article is considerably comprehensive and has more information than this one.
I suggest that this one be renamed "Timeline of the Magellan–Elcano_circumnavigation" since that is more of what it actually is. NumberC35 (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
- I am currently expanding this to prose.--Simen113 (talk) 20:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Revert undiscussed move
[edit]This page was written in Oct 2012 as a timeline of the Magellan expedition; it was moved without discussion in July 2016 to “Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation”, with the edit summary “better page name”. Well actually, as it was (and still is) a timeline article, then no; it isn't a better page name at all. Also, this move has caused considerable confusion (there have been several short discussions here about this page being converted to prose, “as this is not a timeline”); so I am returning it to its former listing as a timeline (I've kept the hyphen change from February 2017). If anyone thinks it should be at a different title I suggest opening a WP:RM discussion and presenting some valid reasons for doing so.
As for having a prose article on the expedition, I note that we already have a full prose treatment of it at Ferdinand Magellan#Voyage of circumnavigation, and at Armada de Molucca, both of which pre-date these proposals, and even this timeline article: so no, we probably don't need another. I trust everyone is OK with this. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Sources for future article expansion
[edit]Much more at Stanley and Walls y Merino that are already provided. There's also
- Fernández Morente, Guadalupe (September 2021), Principio y Fin de la Armada de la Especiería [The Beginning and End of the Spice Fleet] (PDF) (in Spanish), Seville: University of Seville.
which is ridiculously detailed for the curious or for Spanish speakers who can quickly parse it and add the more important bits. — LlywelynII 13:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
