Biography assessment rating comment[edit]

WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 02:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article has two different dates for Capac's death: 1525 and 1527. This needs to be cleared up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.50.23 (talk) 17:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How long did he rule? Big disagreement here[edit]

The 'Death and Legacy' section (which is cited) claims a reign of 60 years. The Infobox reign range 1493-1527 (not cited) suggests 34 years. In it's Ecuador section, Brittanica gives the dates of reign 1493-1525. 1493 is when his father died Topa Inca Yupanqui died. The sentence which cites '60 years' also claims that he died at the age of 80; if he was born in 1464/1468 that gives a death year circa 1544/1548. Clearly a couple more -authoritative- sources might be able to resolve the obviously BIG error(s) here somewhere (or the absolute numbers should be removed).

Successors[edit]

The statement "His sons Atawallpa Inka and Waskar Inka were granted two separate realms of the Inka Empire: [...] The two sons reigned peacefully for four to five years before Waskar Inka had second thoughts" cannot be made unchallenged. There are various versions - the question is whether Huayna Cápac had appointed any successor at all once his eldest (really eldest??) son Ninan Cuyochi was dead. There is evidece only that the Cuzco nobles appointed Huáscar, whereas Atahualpa was supported by the generals in the North. -- Wassermaus (talk) 08:21, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Furthermore, “Atawallpa was returning to Cuzco” is misleading: Atawallpa had never been in Cuzco; his “Northern Campaign” was the conquest of the South from North. Anyway, the lengthy story about the civil war after his Huayna Capac’s death does not belong here, leave alone the story of Atahuallpa’s capture by Pizarro, the random room and so on

Cleanup (Spring 2019)[edit]

This article needs a bit more help than I can give it. I have *zero* actual subject matter expertise; I simply was trying to make the article more readable. Not everyone is as learned as the people who wrote this in the first place. One phrase (as quoted in the previous Header) is impenetrable. "Atawallpa was to inherit the Kingdom of Quito, by the will of his father Wayna Qhapaq, _and later Inca Emperor after defeating his brother, the Inca Emperor Waskar in the Inca Civil War_, where Waskar Inka attempted to conquer the Kingdom of Quito after 7 years of peace." Who did what to whom, when and why? What does "by the will of" mean in context? There are several other things that made little sense. Chief among them is the lonely, disconnected line, "Wayna knew of the Spanish arrival off the coast of his empire^[1]^: 131 as early as 1515." What the bleep does that mean in context? That he knew and did nothing notable? That he knew and welcomed what turned out to be a deadly threat? That he knew and planned to prevent their ascension? Anyway, please feel free to revert anything that does not reflect a real understanding of the meaning. There was a LOT of guesswork and Goggle searches to try and understand what the original (and excellent) authors wrote. Last1in (talk) 21:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
