Talk:California Republic

message: I'm writing this to support undoing a edit that changed  Frémont's rank on July 5, 1846 from "Brevet Captain" to "Major (brevet lieutenant colonel)".  Frémont was promoted to major by Robert F. Stockton some time after Stockton was put in charge of land operations by Commodore John D. Sloat on July 23, 1846 (Bancroft V:page 253).  President Polk had signed a commission for Frémont as Lieutenant Colonel in May, 1846 but that wasn't known in California until October.  Gets complicated.  Dean95452 (talk) 20:43, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to verify that this is correct: "Here the sheet was folded and worn in-two, and no more is found". Is it "worn in-two" or "torn in-two"? 42engineer (talk) 22:19, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Frémont had signed up American immigrants at Sutter's Fort and then this voluntary army took over Sonoma. Frémont's army was involved in the capture of Sonoma. This was Frémont's military gesture to the rebel Californians that the United States supported thier Bear Flag Revolt. Cmguy777 (talk) 19:41, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: The referenced web page implies at the bottom that it used Walker as its source. Walker's work is actually a major source of material for this article. The author of the web page has taken liberty with a few assumptions that are not straightforwardly or entirely supported in the Walker text, including the statements above, which are taken from that web page.Jeff in CA (talk) 23:51, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sonoma take over 

message: @Jeff in CA, I don't understand your revert or edit summary. This article is about a large region, not a specific city yet you quote a guideline about a city. Not to mention there is no indication of what "historical norms" would apply in this case. WP:COORDPREC says precision should be . Seconds should not be used here. If the coords were for a specific city (i.e. the capital), they should be in the infobox and even then seconds are too precise. (note that in this case, the infobox says there was NO capital in a comment). @Deor, do you have a comment? MB 16:43, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
