Talk:Tabasco

message: I was startled and unsettled to find a wikipedia article promoting aid organizations - this one had a request (with links) for people to send money to the Red Cross and such to help with the flooding. I deleted that. If anyone has an objection tell me why. Frogs (talk) 20:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm native of Tabasco and I have never heard of "Tobasco" spelling? Can anyone confirm the source of this. I'm reasearching in my history books.
: I've seen a few 19th century maps printed in the US with that spelling. I don't know if it was particularly common. -- Infrogmation 00:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The Spanish Tabasco page is much more extensive than this one, someone should make an effort to translate into English.
I can work on that. Frogs (talk) 20:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spanish Page 

message: I may just not be the wiki-type, as the information I'm looking for is almost never readily apparent on any given wiki page I vist.  I often have to go looking through several wiki pages to find what I thought should of been on the first.  Despite that though, I feel this page could realy benifet from some brief mention on what the name "tobasco" is from.  Was it someone's last name?  Is it a spanish word for chili peper sauce?  I mean, seriously, I think that many Americans are probably like me, and only really found this wiki page while looking into the word tabasco itself.  Perhaps, as I did, they will think that this town in Mexico is somehow related to there favorite hot sauce.
I spent some time looking at other wiki pages and I guess tobasco is just the name of a kind of pepper.  Would it be proper of someone to put a link somewhere on this page to a different page that explains the name a little?  Like perhaps linking to the actual Tobasco sauce wiki page?  I'd do it, but everytime I've ever tried to edit a page it just got me flamed by wiki users that ultimately reverted my work.  Feel free to delete this request if putting this link on the page would somehow violate the spirit of the wiki. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.152.224.226 (talk) 20:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why Tobasco? 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Tabasco's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:54, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Tabasco]] 

message: Introduction has this sentence: "The state is also the origin of the cocoa bean, from which chocolate is made." This either needs some very good references or to just be deleted. AFAICT, about the most that can be said is that Tabasco was a while back part of the Olmec civilization, which is one of the earliest (or the earliest) civilizations to cultivate cacao... but that cacao is probably not -from- Tabasco, but brought up from South America. So... part of the origin of cultivated cacao, apparently, but not the origin of cacao, not the sole origin of cacao cultivation.Paalexan (talk) 03:54, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of cacao? 

message: Tabasco seceded from Mexico in 1841 and again in 1846. This seems like a pretty important point of history, but it is not mentioned in the English version of this page. I don't speak Spanish but it looks like the events are addressed in that version.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5640:8660:81FB:2D9A:6879:EB4A (talk) 06:40, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

message: How could the Mayans possibly have a native word for "tiger"? Tigers are not native to the New World. Perhaps the Mayan word actually meant jaguar? What is the (ultimate) source for this claim? I will mark that claim as 'dubious' for now. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:5CAB:B9C5:3234:C105 (talk) 19:36, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
