message: Is the regulation section really necessary/relevant? How many countries' regulations could we add? Should we also add Botswana, South Africa, Greece, Russia, Sweden and Japan? I hope you get the point.

I removed "The first tequila was made by Jose María Guadalupe de Cuervo in 1795." from history because 1) it is not true (Tequila was first distilled by the early colonizers) and 2) this smells like an ad.

message: Hi, I've removed two facts from the production section of the page because I couldn't find strong citations for them. The first one
seems like it may be possible in some cases, but the clearest source I could find for it was just this discussion on a forum.
I couldn't find any sources for the second one
and I'm not sure if it makes sense. If anything, wouldn't the south-facing slope be the one that receives the most sunlight (as Mexico's still in the Northern hemisphere)? And a rain shadow argument doesn't make sense because Jalisco is on the West coast, so the eastern side of any mountain range would probably have less cloud cover.
I could be wrong though, and if anyone finds a good source, we should definitely put them back in. Zar2gar1 (talk) 22:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

message: ===Copyright violation?===
From the thread on how tequila is normally served:
If anything, I think this site might be the one violating copyright. While working on the production section, I stumbled on that site which had an exact copy of the Wikipedia page. I checked the revision dates though, and while the exact same words were added to Wikipedia in 2008, the site now gives a copyright starting in 2009.
He did do it all at once, and it was the contributer's only registered edit, which may be a little strange. It's always possible the contributer lifted it, but the citations aren't bad and imply actually reading a third source. I would think if the other site's copyright were legit, they'd be aware of it and complain about it. Zar2gar1 (talk) 04:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

However when crossed referenced to the Don pedro link it states he lived from 1661-1723.  Does not add up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.142.87.115 (talk) 05:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  'quality' comments in article 

message: A single interview of a single individual does not qualify as a reliable source for the assertion that global warming is affecting the quality of tequila or the agave starting material.  The proposition that the warming observed over the time frame of the single commentator's experience -- about 0.2°C -- is responsible for large changes in the maturation rate of agave is scientifically unfounded and dubious.  97.91.254.54 (talk) 06:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Changed "Aging: Chemistry": "The final result of these changes are increased concentrations of acids, esters and aldehydes and a decrease in fuel oil concentration" to read "fusel oil", per context of rest of paragraph and likelihood of typo. (Reference given [28] is a dead link.)
