Talk:Battle of Buena Vista

message: I am uncomfortable with the vague reference to "Washington,_D.C." causing Taylor's frustration. Explicit reference to President James K. Polk is more accurate--their partisan and personal rivalry was quite real. --JeremyToday 23:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I made a minor edit to the article.  I changed "casptured" (I assumed typo) to "captured". In my haste, I failed to mark it as a minor edit or to add a note.  My first edit, or contribution other than talk, and it needs to be fixed.  How do I go about fixing it..?--Dogfish 19:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The infobox says the battle started on the 22nd, but the 22nd is not mentioned in the text.  Was there fighting on the 22nd?  -Gomm 16:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  fighting on the 22nd? 

message: LtNOWIS, There is indisputable the U.S. victory in other battles of the U.S.-Mexican war, but in the Buena Vista battle the U.S. victory is not quite credible and questionable. You need to reference and weighting just among historians from both sides without any nationalism.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.175.255.165 (talk) 01:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if you put up a neutrality tag, you should say how it isn't neutral. -LtNOWIS (talk) 17:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It isn't neutral because apparently it's the opinion of a single editor years ago that of course the Americans won because they weren't completely routed and expelled from all Mexican soil. — LlywelynII 07:02, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: I had made an edit and then reversed it after seeing many sources with the same spelling for 'Santa Anna.'  I am still uncomfortable because I have never read any reference in Spanish to the Saint or someone named in memorial of her with "Ana" spelled with a double n. I doubt that any Spanish speaker would use that spelling. User:Pumapa Wawa (5 Sept 2009)  —Preceding undated comment added 08:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I am a spanish speaker and Mexican, and I have always saw his name spelled with double n, "Santa Anna", maybe the name "Ana" was spelled with double n at Santa Anna's time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.159.228.214 (talk) 21:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of Santa Anna vs Santa Ana 

message: I see that the article contains the following texts:
"Taylor also diverted the Center Division, under John E. Wool, from its expedition in Chihuahua to join him in Saltillo. With Wool's division, the U.S. force totaled about 11,000 soldiers" and "Later that day Santa Anna arrived at Agua Nueva with 10,000 men, his force diminished because of desertion and exhaustion during the long trek from San Luis Potosí"
Yet the infobox states that the american forcers were 4750 and the mexican ones 16000.
If the information on the quoted parts is true then this is a draw not a clear american victory, a smaller exhausted force managed to withdraw without being almost annihilated like in other battles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.224.236.158 (talk) 00:59, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
