Talk:Cortina Troubles

message: The Brownsville Tigers was a group of 20 men who took up arms to fight Juan Cortina after his occupation of Brownsville the Matamoros Militia joined them not long after at the instruction of the Mexican Government. They were formed around September 30, 1859 and first saw action when they attempted an assault on the home of Juan Cortina's mother at Rancho Del Carmen five miles west of Brownsville, the assault was a failure as they were turned back by Juan's "Cortinistas". The same month as their failed assault Texas Rangers arrived to assist them followed by an even larger and more organised group of Rangers under Captain John "Rip" Ford. The Unites States Army also sent some troops to the nearby Fort Brown who would also assist in stopping and catching Juan Cortina. After the end of the First Cortina War the group was disbanded as no further records of the group can be found. In 1875 Cortina was arrested at the request of the residents of Brownsville long after the disbanding of the Tigers.
They only ever saw action a single time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathaniel Hewitt (talk • contribs) 22:03, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Country Club Dispute

message: The Gadsden purchase - shown in green - actually extends further north than the 32nd parallel portion of the New Mexico border.  There should be little to none of the yellow area.  Until Gadsden, going west, New Mexico Territory's border jogged northward at the Rio Grande before continuing westward.  Therefore, as the text remarks, the Gadsden purchase created a 12 mile border between NMT and Texas, creating the boundary dispute that New Mexico raised, as a state, after 1912.

Talk:Covington, Texas

message: 1. The opening paragraph is nearly verbatim from the text on the Handbook of Texas website and the paragraph needs a citation.
2. The demographics section is outdated with information from 2000. 2010 census information is available.
3. I would recommend a stronger source for the Gathings College information, such as what is available on http://www.heartoftexastales.com/gathings-college.html - that website also shows a picture of Mr. Gathings and his wife, for whom the town is named. There is a lot more detail on the founding of Covington and Gathings College.
4. I noticed that two of the links are not working, but that has been addressed in a recent but unpublished edit.
5. The data box on the right still shows the population as of the 2000 census.

message: I've protected this page for a short while due to some edit conflicts. This specifically revolves around the controversy and no-hitter sections and the trivia tag. The no-hitter section is just silly and should stay out, all it says is that Verlander pitched a no-hitter, Monroe didn't help. It has almost nothing to do with him. The controversy section (which if kept needs a new name, a misdemeanor theft charge is hardly a controversy in Major League Baseball) is sourced and may actually be relevant. That is for consensus to decide. As for the trivia tag, either it should stay or the section should be removed or integrated into the article. It is trivia, it is a valid tag.

Talk:Crowley Independent School District

message: It looks like there is some interest in improving this article; here are a few ideas that might help:
* create new articles for the high schools -- Crowley HS and North Crowley HS. Move their info and infobox to the new articles, and link to the new articles from the Crowley ISD article. Add information about the schools' history, demographic information, famous alumni, etc. (Generally, high schools are notable enough to have their own articles.)
* remove sections and infoboxes about 9th grade, middle, and intermediate campuses, leaving a list that looks like the "elementary" section. (Almost universally, schools for students younger than high school age are not notable enough to have their own articles. Directory information about their mascots, school colors, etc is rare. If anything, there may be a mention of any very prestigious national or international awards the school itself has won, or any major events at the school that received prolonged national news coverage.)
* add the school district infobox template. Don't use every parameter, just use the ones that are most relevant to what readers need
* add more information about the school district itself, especially it's history.
* look for properly licensed photos that would support the article
As time allows, I may try to get some of these changes started -- but don't wait for me, and don't feel bound by these suggestions. --Hebisddave (talk) 14:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
