Editor Vvven edit-warring to add unsourced text written in incorrect English
I've explained the problems with this text to Vvven, but he keeps adding massive amounts of unsourced text written in incorrect English and unencyclopedic style. As usual, he insists that his text is just fine. Comments from the community? Carlstak (talk) 01:39, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
What's wrong with the bibliography--Vvven (talk) 01:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
We are going to expect a consensus from the community, the bibliography I put in is a good source of the text--Vvven (talk) 01:46, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- You text is lacking inline citations with specific pages of the sources referenced for each cite. A simply bibliography with page ranges is not adequate sourcing for a WP article. You really should know this by now. And your English is not good enough to reliably convey your intended meaning, thus distorting the accuracy of the text. You need to find someone with better English skills who has the time to help you. Without such help, you are creating substandard work. Carlstak (talk) 03:59, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
What a pity that an article about such an important site is so poorly written, with long impenetrable sentences in poor grammar. ( For example: the last paragraph of the lead is all one sentence, with nearly 100 words. 5.154.59.187 (talk) 05:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
I seem to notice that the English version of this page is similar to the English translation (through Google Translate) of the Spanish version. This would then make the English certainly not very good. I'm not saying that's what took place, but it definitely has enough similarities to make me think that. I am debating going through the page to at least adjust the oddly-worded phrasing. 2602:304:CECE:CF70:5CE4:D104:145:681 (talk) 04:51, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
English pronunciation?
What is it? The stress is definitely not on the 2nd syllable.
-I believe it is. Alcazar shows up in English dictionaries and the emphasis seems to be on the second syllable.

The Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, built for the Christian king Peter of Castile in 1364–1366. It was built by Castilian Christians on the site of an Abbadid Muslim alcázar, or residential fortress, destroyed after the Christian reconquest of Seville. The palace is a prime example of Mudéjar architecture in the Iberian Peninsula, but also features elements of Gothic, Renaissance and Romanesque architecture from previous stages of construction.

Tiles
The article indicates that the Catholic Monarchs commissioned Nicola Pisano in the 16th century to make tiles. But Pisano lived in the 13th century and the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th.Eni2dad (talk) 19:55, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Fixed You are correct. It's supposed to be Francisco Niculoso Pisano, an Italian artist from Pisa, who lived circa 1470 – 1529. Thanks for pointing this out. Carlstak (talk) 02:44, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Tapestries
How have the tapestries not degraded and fallen apart? Have the curators and preservationists used something to extend their lifespan? Viriditas (talk) 07:35, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
