Peruvian Repaso

As User IggyAU in already stated:

...regrettably all the references about the repaso are from peruvian sources...therefore its imperative to point this out in order to protect the integrity of this article....

I have nothing to add to IggysAU words. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 07:16, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cloudac,

do you agree to delete the biased theory of Repaso from the article ?. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 10:10, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

You do not remove content just because of the nationality of the authors, prove they are unreliable first. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:59, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

I am guessing you did not see me previous comment? Darkness Shines (talk) 11:06, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

And you have used article tags instead of section tags? Do you not know how to tag a section? Darkness Shines (talk) 11:43, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Economic depression

This section of the article handles almost only about the economic ressesion in Chile, and doesn't mention with due weight the situation in Peru and Bolivia. In Bolivia for example, the ten cents tax was an economic measure. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 07:20, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Peruvian mediation

The whole section is a original research of the author, sentences like Under the impression that previous Peruvian demands had favored Bolivia, the Chilean government stalled. Chileans were further discomfited....

I cite WP:EDITORIALIZING: produce implications not supported by the sources. Words such as but, however, and although may imply a relationship between two statements where none exists, perhaps inappropriately undermining the first or giving undue precedence to the credibility of the second. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 07:52, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Naval Campaign

The section is confusing because it speaks of a tactical victory to Peru but Nevertheless, it was a Pyrrhic and later of the Peruvian navy still had some successful actions but but its remaining units were locked.

Moreover, the Captain Grau is named 12 times, more than all Chileans sailors in the whole article. It is very interesting that for the rescue of the Esmeralda sailors, held off the Chilean navy, held off the Chilean navy by Grau, the article uses more than the half of the section. For the desicive action, Angamos and Punta Gruesa, where the Peruvian Navy was destroyed, the article uses only two sentences. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 08:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Pilcomayo, Alay

The article lacks inforrmation about the capture of the Alay and Pilcomayo. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 10:05, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Mutual Defense Treaty of 1873

The whole paragraph presents the setcret treaty as a harmless alliance, but in reality the treaty was one of the causes of the war and during the Lackawamma conference Peru and Bolivia refused to deactivate the pact. It must be said that Chile saw pact as a aggressive one. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 08:03, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Boundary Treaty of 1866

The article says nothing about the Boundary Treaty of 1866.--Best regards, KS (wat?) 08:08, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Argentine and the Secret Treaty of 1873

The article says nothings about the Argentina and the secret offenssive pact

After the war

the article states:

The national treasury grew by 900% between 1879 and 1902 due to taxes coming from the newly acquired lands. British involvement and control of the nitrate industry rose significantly. High nitrate profits lasted for several decades, but fell sharply once synthetic nitrates were developed during World War I. This led to a massive economic breakdown (known as the Nitrate Crisis). Many industrial factories had closed in the early 1880s to provide labor for the extraction industry. Loss of industry dramatically slowed the country's industrial development. When the saltpeter mines closed or became unprofitable, the British companies left the country, destroying many jobs. The former Bolivian region remained the world's richest source of copper and its ports moved trade between nearby countries and the Pacific Ocean. The former Peruvian region suffered because no new sources of wealth appeared after the Nitrate Crisis.

That doesn't belong to the history of the war and it is mostly speculation of the authors. --Best regards, KS (wat?) 10:15, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
