I read the article Álvar Núñez on wiki and all of the information seemed to be on point with the topic and relevant. The article talks about Álvar Núñez in a comprehensive way it gives a very broad non-selective view of him without declaring any opinion on him or portraying im in any one individual’s perspective. The article while being fairly long gives and gives a lot of detail it hits a lot of the important facts about Álvar Núñez that people may want to read the article to quickly find fun facts (i.e birth/death dates, parents names, resting place etc.) The article is also broken down into very topic specific sections that stay on target and make it easy to find specific information about Álvar Núñez. Within these sections there is a lot of important need to know facts about where he explored, what he discovered, who “funded” him and his crew. As I read I realized almost every key person, artifact or place in his life had a working link attached so the reader could completely understand him and the things he did by learning deeper into each individual milestone or event. None of the links or sources are outdated as far as I can tell all of the information in them were still relevant. A Lot of the questions on the talk about it page have been addressed or added to the article which is good and reinforces the the fact that the article is up to date, also on person asked about the origin of where he got the name Cabeza de Vaca and ask is the story about him getting it from his ancestors just a “charming story” or was that actually how that came to be his name. The person who presents the question suggest it may be more likely he got the name Cabeza de Vaca because his mother was from the village Cabeza la Vaca in what today is Badajoz. Some one also states that they believe that the articles rating should be higher rated than its current rating of low importance. This was a very solid article and in my opinion it hit all if the needed marks i feel are required on Álvar Núñez to be a good source of information.
