[edit] José Antonio as a given name
The article says that José Antonio became a very common name in Spain after his death. Did it become commoner than before? --Erri4a 21:13, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The statue that was removed in March 2005 was a General Francisco Franco statue. Not José Antonio's.

In the intro, I think that a more accurate translation of 'Falange' would be 'Phalanx', not 'Finger', because though 'Finger' is what 'Phalanx' means, 'Phalanx' preserves the military and historical allusions that I'm sure the Falangists were aiming for.
[edit] simply known as José Antonio
Hi there,
The introduction states that Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera is "generally referred to simply as José Antonio". This is true, but almost exclusively in pro-Franco or pro-Falange or sympathiser's circles, at least in Spain. I'm removing it, and editing the rest of the article in that respect to keep NPOV and a modicum of encyclopaedic tone. Also changed a few references to "assassinations" to killings, which is a bit more neutral considering soldiers in a war can only be considered as "assassinated" in very particular circumstances which the article does not in any way validate.

Carried out a number of language edits. Also removed the final phrase "Many Franco-era statues and monuments to fascism have been removed in recent years by the current government", which is true but tendentiously irrelevant to the article. Dr Benway 14:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
