Al-Andalus and time range

Wasn't the Umayyad caliphate also a Golden Age? Brutannica 01:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

What was the absolute time range for the Golden Age? --Nick Douglas 17:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Interested...

The following site says this:

The entry for the Spanish Golden Age does not even tell the reader when it occurred, but makes the doubtful claim that the Spanish Golden Age flourished in Latin America.

Now they might be a little crazy, but I'm interested in hearing what editors have to say about this. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I copied some text from Siglo de Oro about the timing (starts 1492 or later, ends 1648 or earlier). --KarlFrei 11:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

All artiasts mentioned in the article are from Spain, nobody from Latinamerica. Latinamerican art (not counting the works by the natives) started flourishing centuries later. I'm changing it--Rataube 14:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Huh? What about Sor Juana? What about the foundation in Lima of the National University of San Marcos (1551), certainly the first important institution of higher education in the hemisphere? Or the Real Universidad de la Nueva España (ancestor of the National Autonomous University of Mexico), also founded that year (though probably not as illustrious in that era)? - Jmabel | Talk 03:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Literature

Its ridiculous to have a special section on Góngora without one for Quevedo who was considered by many (Jorge Luis Borges, to name just one) to be far superior. Juxstarr 16:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposing new additions

I am new to Wikipedia editing but I would love to help out with this page. I noticed some things that I would be happy to work on in my spare time such as:

• Adding wikilinks to the artists mentioned in the article
• Adding wikilinking to more artists and playwrights
• Adding a section describing dissenting points of view on the use of the term "Golden Age" in reference to this period
• Adding a section that describes the status of laborers, hidalgos, and upper nobility

These are just some things off the top of my head that I see would help improve the page but, since I am new I'd thought it best to introduce myself and get another opinion on my proposed additions.
