Tilcayo Cats Original: editorial record

Local assessment: Start-Class. This is an initial Tilcayo editorial assessment, not a Wikipedia award or an independent audit.

Start-Class: concise original account of service, coastal defence, investigation and death. Ones2000 chapter3 pp127–133 and appendixII p360 directly read; the appendix table was also visually checked. Source gives office10November1683–7November1686 and death around22November1688; prose uses months/year without making the approximate death date exact. Castillo1997 article read in the openly accessible Scribd reproduction, which identifies author, publication, issue and date; original institutional URL currently returned an application shell. Only the relevant1683defence and fortification facts used, not the source’s loaded personal judgments. Castillo ends tenure1687; the detailed documentary chronology in Ones gives suspension1686 and is followed with discrepancy retained here. No invented birth date, family relationship, graphic description, claim of personally reading archival originals or unsourced battle totals. Below200words derived from either source. This is a governor account, not an unsupported pirate label. Broader political context and modern scholarship remain gaps before B-Class; do not treat the source search as exhausted.

Original prose written from inspected references; sources reviewed on 9 October 2026. Wikipedia's requested-articles list supplied research leads, not article prose. No claim that the literature is exhausted.
