:Truthiness doesn't matter here, its reliability of sources. Blanking Talk: before an RFC, tendentious reliability editing when the reliability issues of all sources have been listed, Hostile behaviour on Talk:, and attempts to control Talk: by editing other's contributions—ownership issues. I came from an RFC Keysanger called for; contributed extensively regarding the sourcing problems (primarily using Primaries (of any kind) to attempt to verify). Keysanger selectively dealt with the RFC points I had made, and then claimed to have completed editing in response without arguing why he selectively addressed citation format and sourcing issues.

The War of the Pacific is in Wikipedia a controversial theme and a wide feedback from the community can improve the quality of the article. --Keysanger (talk) 08:50, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Just because I haven't mentioned it, don't think its okay. There are massive SYN OR problems because people have been citing claims out of primary instead of secondary sources. Your citation styles are constantly changing, making verification near impossible. You need to establish some kind of quote repository not on the main page. You need to re-write the narrative out of the best-available scholarly monographs... preferably the English Language ones. If you notice a certain frustration in my typing, its because your references are horrifyingly bad.
Spellcheck the entire thing.

References
The referencing section is inconsistent, full of dreck, OR, PRIMARY. This leads me to the necessary conclusion that the article contains OR and SYN.
Seriously consider changing the conversational and informal style of citations.
Sources in English should have their quotes included in the body of the text, or removed. Consider making Talk:WotP/citationquotes for future verification efforts.
Separate your notes and your references.

Alfred Barnaby Thomas, Profesor of History, University of Alabama,"Latin America, A History", The Macmillian Company, New York, 1956, 800 pages, page 450: This rivaliry [of Chile-Peru], straining the relations of the two countries, led Pardo to sign and offensive and defensive alliance with Bolivia in 1873, the latter being also disturbed by Chiles aggresiveness
Charles de Varigny, "La Guerra del Pacifico", page 18, here: …Chile vacilaría aún más si Bolivia, firmando un tratado de alianza ofensiva y defensiva con el Perú, podía poner sobre las armas los efectivos militares y las fuerzas navales de esta nación. Un tratado de esta naturaleza fué precisamente la condición que puso Boliyia para aceptar la aventura que el Perú le proponía. Se iniciaron negociaciones y quedó firmado el Tratado, que se convino en mantener secreto, con el fin de proporcionar al Perú la ocasión de ofrecer su mediación, no revelándolo sino en caso de que Chile rechazase esta mediación y declarase la guerra.
Gonzalo Bulnes, "Chile and Peru, The causes of the War of 1879" page 57 and 58: The Treaty menaces Chile … Never was Chile in greater peril, nor has a more favourable moment been elected for reducing her to the mere leavings that interested none of the conspirators. The advantage to each of them was clear enough. Bolivia would expand three degrees on the coast; Argentina would take possession of all our eastern terrisories to whatever point she liked; Peru would make Bolivia pay her with the salitre region. The synthesis of the Secret Treaty was this: opportunity: the disarmed condition of Chile; the pretext to produce conflict: Bolivia: the profit of the business: Patagonia and the salitre.
Diego Barros Arana, "Historia de la Guerra del Pacifico", parte 1, capitulo III, page 31: Sea de ello lo que se quiera, el hecho es que el 6 de febrero de 1873 se firmaba en Lima un tratado secreto de alianza ofensiva i defensiva, por el cual ambas partes contratantes se comprometian a marchar unidas contra cualquier enemigo esterior que amenazase su independencia, su soberanía, o su integridad territorial.
Chilean Magazin "Que Pasa" here: A comienzos de 1870, Perú pasaba por un mal período económico, ya que el guano -fertilizante natural del cual procedían las principales ganancias fiscales- estaba agotado, mientras el salitre, producto que lo reemplazaba, estaba en manos de particulares. La única solución era eliminar a nuestro país como competidor en la extracción del salitre, para traspasar la propiedad de las salitreras al Estado y poseer el monopolio. Fue a raíz de esto que Perú y Bolivia firmaron un tratado secreto ofensivo y defensivo contra Chile, donde ambas naciones se apoyarían en caso de guerra.
"The New York Times" - Current History (1922) here page 450 : Notwithstanding the fact that in 1873 Peru had induced Bolivia to sign a pact of alliance tacitly directed against Chile, the Peruvian government offered its mediation in the Bolivian-Chilean conflict, the origin of which was nothing more than Peru’s monopolistic nitrate policy, which had instigated Bolivia to disposes Chilean industries. The mediation of Peru was accompanied by three suspicious circumstances: (1) The denial on the part of the mediating minister of the existence of the secret treaty of which Chile had lately become aware; (2) Previous Peruvian demands compatible only with the pretensions of Bolivia; (3) Hurried war preparations of Peru, the Peruvian government meanwhile showing a desire to gain time. These circumstances, with the fact that Bolivia did not manifest the slightest desire to facilitate an amicable adjustment, indicated to Chile that Peru was not working ‘bona fide’, but only with the intentin of strengthening the alliance.
"By Reason or Force: Chile and the Balancing of Power in South America, 1830-1905" by Robert N. Burr, page 130: But after extended discussionswhich served to delay Argentinas adherence to the anti-Chilean treaty, Buenos Aires accepted the exclusion of Brasil. There was however still another matter to be settled before Argentina was willing to join the alliance- the question of the boundary dispute with the altiplano.
"Latin America's Wars: The age of the caudillo, 1791-1899" by Robert L. Scheina, here, page 375: Bolivia nad Peru concluded a secret defensive treaty which provided that if either Bolivia or Peru were attacked by a foreign nation (obviously, it was directed against Chile), the other nation would go to the aid of the co-signer (:: Robert L. Scheina calls the treaty obviously, it was directed against Chile and use the adjective "defensive" as a part of the name of the treaty: "a secret defensive treaty".)

La versión chilena fue que Bolivia quiso impedir que Chile se armara. En realidad, Daza buscó la forma de malograr la misión Lavalle. Una vez más la legación peruana en La Paz había fallado porque, según el tratado secreto, un acto de esta especie debía haberse hecho previo acuerdo de las partes. Al no estar declarada la guerra entre Chile y Bolivia, Chile no podía pedir al Perú que se mantuviera neutral. Porque la había declarado Bolivia, la exigencia chilena de neutralidad peruana era inevitable. La declaración boliviana de guerra era (dice el historiador chileno Bulnes) un palo atravesado en las ruedas del carro empujado por Lavalle.

Moving on
Hi Fifelfoo,
I edited and normalized almost every reference. I think most of flaws were trivial, like incomplete citation, not in bibliography, spacing, Unacceptable citation format (!) and such kind of bagatelle. I replaced some dubious source with references to Farcau or Sater.
But some problems are still there:
- Jorge Basadre. There are quotatins from his book, with page nr, chapter, etc, and sometimes are quotations from the webpage of the (web version) of his book, no page nr, no publishers etc. Jorge Basadre is a serious Peruvian historian, a University in Peru bear his name. We need sometime to normalize the quotations. In no way the inconsistence of the quotations means that Basadre has to be disqualified as "full of dreck, OR, PRIMARY". It means only that you have to use both media, the book and the website, to verify the content of the article. Sorry.
- Case Treaty of Alliance Peru-Bolivia. There are a lot of references in "Unacceptable citation format", aged, etc. The intention of the "collection" isn't to show the book self or the author but to demostrate that a significant part of historians considered the alliance as defensive and a significant part of historians considered the alliance as offensive. It was the only way we found: gathering the opinion of the historian and the lists are the result: one list for defensive and one list for offensive. You can see the comical discussion in Talk:War of the Pacific/Archive 4. Actually it is obvious that a pact will be interpreted differently in inaccordance with the circumtances: for example the Hitler-Stalin Pact had different interpretations in Germany, in Poland and in the UdSSR and this interpretations changed before, after the beginning of the WW2 and changed again after the End of the WW2. But that seems obscure for some wikipedians that wanted to declare the Peru-Bolivia Alliance as defensive and only used defensive and they are still smouldering as you note in your Talk page. I will be happy to agree to delete both lists but YOU have to write the replacement text for the article and the explain in this Talk page. I consider the lists a tradeoff with the shortcomings of the Wikipedia community. (there are wikipedians with a poor english, for example, do you know someone?)
- Case Bolivia's Declaration War. We had the same problem. There are wikipedians that wanted to hide the DoW despite the facs (see Farcau and Sater). Again a long list was the only solution. But now I deleted all but Farcau, Sater and the Iowa reference. That should be enough. If a editwar begins again I will add the list again.
I think the references are now much better. The content remains unchanged. Please take a look in-depth this time and tell me your valuable opinion. --Keysanger (talk) 17:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- Your citations are still unacceptable. Fix the bibliography. Fix the ff citations. Normalise them, one doesn't "See" a citation. I extensively reviewed the citation format and use; you've fiddled at the edges of a few easy search-and-replace fixes. I have no interest in interrogating the content until the article actually cites its sources, clearly differentiates primary from secondary, and demonstrates what it is quoting from where, in an appropriate format. There are slab quotes not in English. There is obvious (extensive) synthesis of primary sources rather than writing out of secondary sources. There are still citations without publication & author information, or title translations. Most disturbingly, many citations aren't in the bibliography. You've glossed over the RFC and attempted to "move on" despite deep failings in the basic writing of this article. Fifelfoo (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

- It isn't enough to say "bad". You have to say why the text is POV. Please don't consider only your references from reliable sources (only) but also others and don't forget to read WP:due weight. --Keysanger (talk) 16:38, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Chronology : 10 cents tax
Do not write events during the war in sections dedicated to events before the war and don't use primary sources as reference for sentences. --Keysanger (talk) 18:42, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I deleted a second time your contributuion.
The Bolivian and the Chilean tax increses are well documented facts, but the direct arrangement of facts separated by a broken boundary treaty and 3 years of war (1878-1880) is delicated because we have to expose all the facts occured during this time period. The direct deduction of the comparison is "Chilean are hypocrites because they took what they denied to Bolivians" and that would be POV because as Farcau stated Bruce W. Farcau, "The Ten Cents War", page 41,:
- "The very fact that the legislature in La Paz found it necessary to vote in what they claimed was a strictly municipal issue when the tax was first levied implied that the conflict with the 1874 treaty was clearly seen and that a conscious precedent was being set"
The issue was not the 10 cents but that "a conscious precedent was being set". Best regards, --Keysanger (talk) 11:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
CoL
I AGREE your contribution, but don't use Markham as source because it is a primary source (and pro-Peruvian biased). Farcau and Sater support your statament, so you won't have problems to find references. If you can't finf them I will do it tomorrow. Also you have to respect the due weight: the batle of chorrillos is described only with 57 words, therefore the preparation should be shorter. --Keysanger (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- "pro peruvian"? Sater is based in Chileans sources so he is pro-Chilean(¿?), no tiene sentido y tú lo sabes Rasdar2 (talk) 20:42, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Can you support the statement: "Sater is based in Chileans sources so he is pro-Chilean" ?. I respect you but I am not interested in your personal opinions. Anyway, it is primary source. Please change it. --Keysanger (talk) 22:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Ownership of Article by Keysanger
I think it's obvious by now that User:Keysanger has a severe ownership problem with this article. Just take a look at the article's history and there will be an ocean of "Keysanger" edits throughout it. I think that this should be reported to a Wikipedia administrator as it goes against the spirit of the project.--MarshalN20 | Talk 14:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'll agree, and even more, Keysanger discard any editing that is not aligned with the version he thinks proper, including the discarded of primary sources than he considered non-neutral, this behavior is unacceptable and must be stop, even the agreements reached previously are simple ignored by this so-called "wikipedian". Keysanger, this article is not yours, and your version of the facts is quite far from the truth. Greetings --Cloudaoc (talk) 05:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- Truthiness doesn't matter here, its reliability of sources. Blanking Talk: before an RFC, tendentious reliability editing when the reliability issues of all sources have been listed, Hostile behaviour on Talk:, and attempts to control Talk: by editing other's contributions—ownership issues. I came from an RFC Keysanger called for; contributed extensively regarding the sourcing problems (primarily using Primaries (of any kind) to attempt to verify). Keysanger selectively dealt with the RFC points I had made, and then claimed to have completed editing in response without arguing why he selectively addressed citation format and sourcing issues.
