Not only the article lacks details regarding the historical background of the author, and the content of the account itself, but also has poor citation issues. Many of the wordings and writing styles in this article does not give readers the feeling that this is can be a trustworthy source of information. As an editor, it seems necessary that I should first try to re-write the already written contents to read more like an informative summary of the given historical account. Then I would need to add a lot more contexts and details into the content of the account, alongside with the historical background behind the author himself and how he came to write this account. I should also add reliable citation to the details which are ought to be backed by scholarly sources.

[3] During the time when Las Casas served as the Protector of the Indians, several clerics from The Order of Saint Jerome attempted reform certain labor systems which incorporated native populace as labor forces. Their attempts, however, were deemed not effective enough to protect the welfare of the Indians by Las Casas, thus motivating him to return to Spain to appeal to the Spanish monarch in 1517.[4] </p><p>From 1517 to 1540, Las Casas repeatedly traveled back and forth between Spain and Spanish colonies in Latin America for numerous times, struggling to find a common ground between Spanish authorities and his own humanitarian pursuit regarding the improvement of the conditions of Indian subjects in Spanish dominions. [2] One of many purposes of his travels was to continue to protest Spanish colonial mistreatment of Indians. </p><p>In 1542, after Las Casas first composed the account for which would be later known as A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, he presented the account as a proof of atrocities committed upon Indians by colonial authorities before the members of the Council of the Indies during the hearings on resolving issues of forceful conversion and colonial exploitation of Indians held under the order sanctioned by Charles I of Spain.[4]<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Luky410&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Luky410 (page does not exist)">Luky410</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Luky410" title="User talk:Luky410">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:A_Short_Account_of_the_Destruction_of_the_Indies#c-Luky410-2017-10-26T03:31:00.000Z-Rough_draft_for_editing" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Luky410-2017-10-26T03:31:00.000Z-Rough_draft_for_editing"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Luky410-2017-10-26T03:31:00.000Z-Rough_draft_for_editing"></span> </p>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?type=1x1&useformat=desktop" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none;
