July 2023

Hi Arawoke! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Stashing section

"'The true attraction from the first," Casement wrote, 'was not so much the presence of the scattered Hevea Braziliensis tress through out this remote forest, as the existence of fairly numerous tribes of docile, or at any rate of easily subdued Indians.' The ' 'civlized intruders' ' came to subjugate ('conquistar' is the Spanish word) the Indians, not to annihilate them. The exploiteres kept repeating that they were extending civilization to the Indians in the shape of profitable occupations. This was a travesty. Searching for words to convey the true essence of the system, Casement chose 'brigandage' and a 'system of armed extortion'" Jordan Goodman P 137, quoting R. Casement.

According to AJRC all the beans they ate in the region (In 1910 during Casement's journey) came from the Ucayali. AJRC P302

• 1907: Junta de Vias Fluviales censures the Peruvian government regarding the killing of Harakmbut natives in the Madre de Dios, with the belief that this was detrimental to the rubber trade in the region and created a labor shortage.

Hi Arawoke. Thank you for starting the article for Carlos Scharff. I've made some small copyedits, added categories, and requested rotation of one of the images used in the article. In fixing the layout, I moved the 'Further reading' section below the references. This created an additional reference below due to the sfn template. There are a couple of ways to fix this, but I thought you might have a preference. gobonobo ^{+ c} 17:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the help with Scharff's article! Arawoke (talk) 14:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Short form references and no target errors

Hi Arawoke. If you going to be using short form references, e.g. {{sfn}} templates, you may want to turn on the associated errors messages. Annoyingly they are by off by default. Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Displaying error messages shows how to turn them on (it's not as difficult as that makes it seem, ask if you have any questions).
There are few issues with Carlos Scharff, which all look like minor typos. You added "Dole 1994" but only "Dole 1998" is defined, similarly "Roux 1998" when only "Roux 1994" is defined, and "Chandless 2018" with "Chandless 2008" being defined. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out! I thought I might have made the mistake once or twice but wasn't sure if that was the case. Those instances you have pointed out, I found with Ctrl + F and have been fixed as far as I can find. Also thank you for providing the error message link. Arawoke (talk) 14:39, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Hope it's useful. If you have any issues drop a message on my talk page, I'm always willing to help -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Carlos Fitzcarrald

Hi Arawoke, I've left some comments about this article at the GA Review page. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Peruvian Amazon Company

Thank you very much! As you have read the article, I am actually curious on feedback from you. Specifically, regarding what further contribution of information should be made on the article. I have made many additions to the article and at the moment I'm unsure on which subjects warrant further development or the introduction of more information. Also, I am curious on your thoughts regarding the Saldana and Hardenburg subsections, should any information be excluded or more info included for clarification? I definitely have some citation work to develop in that area at the very least.

I also have another map of Arana's firm dated to 1906 which may be more relevant than the 1908 map currently included on the article

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Putumayo_river,_circa_1908._The_names_and_locations_of_rubber_plantations_are_included.png

I have access to a much better version of the 1906 map but its a recreation published by the Library of Ireland and I believe they have a copyright to that map. This document is located on slide 2 of this link https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000722524
