- Article looks fine in most respects, but the first source [1] looks to be a personal website. The hook needs work too as it is speculative. Perhaps "... that the Mapuche military leader Alejo ended his attack on Concepción, Chile after his mother was sent to plead with him?" Yomanganitalk 10:40, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- Done. The article at that page was actually a republication of a book by Chilean historian Guillermo Inostroza Rojas, I have fixed the reference to point to the book rather than the web page Cambalachero (talk) 18:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- Length, age, neutrality, use of sources, structure are all fine. Documentary source accepted in good faith as most of it it is backed up by other sources anyway. No copyvios or plagarism. Ready to go once the hook has been decided upon. ( The Spanish WP article says he took two Spanish hostages as concubines; this article is more restrained. Which is correct?)

- I have remade the hook; but using "gave up" instead of "ended" (more precise) and "parley" instead of "plead" (idem, see link). As for Spanish wikipedia, that project is a nest of original research; I never use any info from there unless I can confirm it somewhere else... so, to save work, I plainly ignore it.
