Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Hernando Arias de Saavedra
Looking for a general class assessment and maybe some suggestions for rewording. This was translated from the Spanish version which itself was mostly written by one person, so it could use some more eyes to find flaws. —Dgiest c 22:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit]- The article has a good start, although it seems a little choppy with his lifeline. If more of his early years could be fleshed out, if that information exists out there, as well as the socio-politcal environment that existed during his time as Governor of Buenos Aires.
- What political connections did he have?
- What effects did his actions have on his city, country even South America, if any?
- What effect did his policies have? Are they still enacted today or were they revised later on into a whole new set of policies and ideas?
- Was he ever married and did he have children?
- What were his years after governor like?
- I understand we are talking about someone who has been deceased for almost four hundred years now but those are just some topics you could try researching to expand his article and raise it a B class. If you can find any portraits of him that would help greatly as well. --Ozgod 14:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input, here is some background:
- His wife and children were not in the source es:Hernandarias but I found them in another reference and added them to the infobox. All my source says is "De su matrimonio con doña Jerónima de Contreras, había tenido tres hijas: Gerónima, Isabel y María." or translated "From his marriage to Madame Jerónima de Contreras, he had three daughters: Gerónima, Isabel and María."
- I found one drawing of him. While I presume is is very old and therefore PD, I don't actually know how/when it was created.
- There is more info in the off-wiki sources I have found which should probably be translated and added... —Dgiest c 16:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The article is almost a stub. If it gets expanded a review can be more useful. For the time being these are a few suggestions:
- It would be nice if you had a picture of him or some other picture relevant to the article.
- Some paragraph have no inline citations. Try to cite properly your articles, so as not to have unsourced material.
- Do not wikilink single years; only full dates. Check WP:MoS.
- "Legacy" is stubby. Can you expand it?--Yannismarou 17:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
