This text was put by the author herself - don´t worry if it also appears in her web-pages...
The author needs to read Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability, to be sure of making appropriate contributions. Deb (talk) 16:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Viceroyalty of Peru
This has been discussed previously on other articles but it seems a recurrent issue that is not fully understood. The usage of the denomination Viceroyalty of Peru without a reliable source backing this information is highly inaccurate for the following reasons:
- If in the article the specific year of a certain event is not mentioned, there isn't certainty about which viceroyalty was in exercise during that time, assuming without further information which one is it would constitute original research. More specifically in the context of this article, slavery from Africa was spread throughout several centuries and was also present during the republican period of Bolivia.
- Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style states that when a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it unless there is a wide majority of sources stating otherwise. Most literature in history use the modern name as an horizontal reference of a location, and the period (e.g. Spanish conquest) to identify the historical context of a determined event. So far, most sources use Bolivia instead of any Viceroyalty:
- Some editors and readers confuse the Viceroyalty of Peru with the modern Republic of Peru the latter acquired its independence in the 1820s together with Bolivia and the usage of this term could be considered misleading and against WP:POINT and WP:NPOV.
