There Is No Evidence That Cortes Was Born in December
Back in June of 2023 someone suspiciously added that Cortes was born in December. They didn't provide a source and there doesn't seem to be one that exists. Could a registered user please revert this edit? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hern%C3%A1n_Cort%C3%A9s&diff=prev&oldid=1158981585 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:680:CE00:A6A0:5CFB:FEB:DB24:DE1E (talk) 01:40, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Last paragraph before Table of Contents
This paragraph: "Because of the controversial undertakings of Cortés and the scarcity of reliable sources of information about him, it is difficult to describe his personality or motivations. Early lionizing of the conquistadors did not encourage deep examination of Cortés. Later reconsideration of the conquistadors in the context of modern anti-colonial sentiment has done little to enlarge understanding of Cortés. As a result of these historical trends, descriptions of Cortés tend to be simplistic, and either damning or idealizing."
It sounds very neutral, but it comes off to me as an editorial or the conclusion someone would be making at the end of their academic paper. Which would be fine if it came after comparing a variety of different sources, but it comes right after a fairly descriptive introduction of his life, and then stands out as someone's opinion of the various interpretations of Cortés without any of those interpretations or any sources really. —198.91.10.180 (talk • contribs) 10:13, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 21 April 2025
Script error: No such module "protected edit request". I'm recommending to fix the typo in the line "Cortés, suspected of poisoning the twp men, refrained from taking over the government." changing twp to two. Joshuaschniper (talk) 00:18, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
