SEVERE INACCURACIES edit

The image contains a good deal of severe inaccuracies. To name just one, The Kingdom of Leon (including Galicia, which was part of it, not a separate entity like the gif implies) was not "annexed" to the "already existing (1217 (!!))" "Crown" of Castile: The "Kingdom" of Castile fused with the Kingdom of Leon in 1230 for being under the same sovereign (it was not annexed), and this formed the "Crown" of Castile in 1230. This gif implies that the "Crown" of Castile existed already in 1217 (false, it was still a Kingdom) and annexed Leon and an independent (false) Galicia, which is a very important mistake. The Spanish version of this gif which served as template for this version was corrected a year ago and so this one should be corrected too. The other mistakes have been fixed there too. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mapa_de_la_Corona_de_Castilla.gif I have contacted the author who fixed the Spanish version to see if he could do the same with this one, as I don't know how to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.54.84.68 (talk) 23:55, 28 January 2015 (UTC)Reply


The English on each frame really needs to be reviewed. Could use some copyediting. 93.97.33.17 (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
