Talk:Laredo, Texas/Archive 1

=Year 2006=

Reason for deletion of "Nightlife"
I deleted the "Nightlife" section because it seemed like too much of an advertisement, and it doesn't seem necessary.

Why? We have better nightlife than any other nearby city... -_ - Cbmaster 22:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Laredo is so much more!
Wow! I'm amazed at how limited the current Laredo page is. There's a lot that needs to be submitted... let's get it going.

Just the tip of the iceberg!
The information contained here is just the surface of what Laredo is all about. User:MarcusHolliman 03:50, 22 May 2006

Name
What does the name 'Laredo' mean? Njál 00:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Some people think the origin comes from the Solfege, or rather the arrangement of syllables commonly practiced by singers: Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. A quick rearrangemt yields La Re Do. Could be urban legend, but thats the only thing I've heard, and I'm from there.

Answer
It has no meaning or its meaning was lost. Laredo, TX got its name from a city in Cantabria, Spain which was established in the year 757 by fishermen. Laredo is also a last name which its meaning is from Laredo.

Lar in Latin means: Roman tutelary deities, esp. household deities; hearth, dwelling, home

edo in Latin means: to bring into the world, to bring forth, give birth to; to bring about, cause, produce; a high place, eminence.

Possible answer: New Home / Town


 * meaning of surname Laredo (easy Spanish)
 * Laredo, Cantabria, Spain history (intermediate Spanish)

Infobox
Why doesn't someone work on an infobox for the article? There's plenty of information on the city's website. --Victor 02:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

DONE

Semi-protection
In response to, I have reverted a lot of POV and vandalism to this article, and semi-protected it from editing by anonymous contributors and newly-registered accounts for a period of one month. - Mark 04:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Education: "PK to 12"
Must be a local thing, it would be nice if someone from the area could explain what "PK" means. I've never heard of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DigiFluid (talk • contribs) 22:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * PK = prekinder, which is also "taught" in public schools in Laredo.

Snow Monkey Population?
The Snow Monkey page says there is a wild population that was introduced in 1972...true?Mwv2 (talk) 05:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * to be honest with you, I had no idea what you were talking about nor have i seen one near Laredo, so I did some research, it appears to be true some rancher adopted 150 snow monkeys and brought them near Laredo back in 1972 to some research center (the good type) from which they escaped. more info:

 * Lovable pests: Japan's endearing snow monkeys battle farmers

Crime
why is there no mention of the rife crime in the city? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.214.90 (talk) 02:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Laredo does have crime as well any other city in the world. Laredo's crime rate is about average for a city in the U.S. except for non-serious crimes such as thefts and burglaries which is above average. I haven't seen a perfect city nor a city's article including crime rates and there is nothing worth mentioning or in the article about crime. -AMAPO (talk) 04:02, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * To point out, it has been said that texas rangers do not go to Laredo because of the massive MS13 presence. I think it is worth looking into.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.138.221 (talk) 07:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Look more into it and provide valid references and more power to you!. But I wouldn`t waste my time on it, it sounds fake to me. -AMAPO (talk) 00:09, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

too many photos
many of which don't show up correctly. i don't need to see strip malls or parking lots everywhere, that doesn't make laredo interesting or unique Lequis (talk) 03:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite
I have added a rewrite tag to the top of the article. A read-through of the article will show that it contains numerous problems per Wikipedia's policies. Several images that I have already removed do not inform or highlight the information contained in the text where they are located. I have removed some and hope others can add new photos that better inform the reader of the information presented in the article. Also, it is important to note that the image text needs to be succinct, simply describing the picture without talking about its history or location. This information is best left for separate pages on the image's subject. Lastly, image description text size should be left to default; there is no reason to double the size.

The article itself reads like a travel brochure, giving the street location, history and description of everything mentioned in the article. As an example, the sports section has separate paragraphs for each of the stadiums and teams in Laredo, each giving detailed information about the individual subjects. Two paragraphs in this section would suffice, with one listing the sports teams and the other listing the stadiums. Information on each one should be placed in separate articles on each team and subject. This problem is present in most of the the sections in the article. As a point of reference, the economy section is fairly well-constructed. -Helmandsare (talk) 03:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Largest inland Port
I followed the link claiming that Laredo is the largest inland port in the US. The link led me to a Newspaper acticle from the Laredo Morning Times. The article actually says that it is the largest land port and does not refer to the actual National report. It just mentions a 2004 Federal report. The difference between a land port and an inland port is significant. Please clarify as the Corps of Engineers say Huntington, WV to be the largest inland port in the US not Laredo, TX. http://www.iwr.usace.army.mil/ndc/wcsc/pdf/inlandport03f.pdf. While the largest land port is listed as Detroit, MI. http://www.scribd.com/doc/918567/6-Largest-Ports-in-US and Laredo, TX as number 2. Paragoalie (talk) 05:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC) comment added by Paragoalie (talk • contribs) 05:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

As I have heard no objections I deleted the questionable entry.Paragoalie (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added back; there are many definitions of "inland port" one of them being a "port that is in land". I went ahead and added a reference from the Federal Department of Transportation stating that in fact Laredo is the largest inland port in USA and in the top 5 border crossings of noncomercial traffic. Some web pages go as far as saying it is the world's largest inland port such as this one: http://www.e-referencedesk.com/resources/state-facts/texas.html

-AMAPO (talk) 02:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Laredo Founder
Laredo's Founder was not Tomas Sanchez. Tomas Sanchez worked as the right hand of a Spaniard explorer from Santander La Vieja, who belonged to a family whose last name was Imperial. After falling out of grace from the King, Imperial was taken away from all their noble titles and their name stripped from royal records and chronicles, currently, there is still descendents of the Imperial family living in Laredo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.232.222.247 (talk) 21:05, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Laredo, Texas
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 Laredo, Texas'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.

Reference named "factfinder2.census.gov": From Mexican American: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_SF1_QTP10&prodType=table From El Paso, Texas:  From South Texas:  

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 ⚡ 17:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Demographics Percentages slightly off
I can't edit since I wouldn't know what to change, Just thought I'd point out that in the Demographics section, the list (from Whites to other races) calculates to 99.9%. 70.124.103.33 (talk) 08:53, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Classrooms to nightclubs?
(From the section that talks about LCC Fort McIntosh) "Several of the fort's old buildings were converted into classrooms, and then into nightclubs."

Is that backwards or did they change the classrooms into nightclubs while I've been gone from LCC for a year? 70.124.103.33 (talk) 08:58, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * deleted vandalism: removed "to nightclubs"

International map
Because Laredo's relationship to Mexico is important, I think that the article would benefit from a map showing the relevant parts of both Mexico and the USA. ArthurDent006.5 (talk) 01:54, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Structure
Hi. I'm going through all the US Cities (as per List of United States cities by population) in an effort to provide some uniformity in structure. Anyone have an issue with me restructuring this article as per WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. I won't be changing any content, merely the order. Occasionally, I will also move a picture just to clean up spacing issues. I've already gone through the top 20 or so on the above list, if you'd like to see how they turned out. Thoughts? Onel5969 (talk) 16:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Drug violence history
Perhaps a section on drug violence history should be added to the article? A CBP helicopter was shot at recently (KGNS, Breitbart, Laredo Morning Times), and it is just one in numerous incidents. The general subject was covered in this article by the San Antonio Express News, and Los Angeles Times.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:22, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think any particular segment of crime should have its own section or even subsection. Perhaps the creation of a crime section might be warranted, or perhaps include it in the paragraph at the end of history that is already discussing violent crime in the past few years.  Giving it its own section would most likely violate WP:WEIGHT. John from Idegon (talk) 06:32, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with that it shouldn't have its own section, for the same reason, along with the US City guidelines. But I do think the level of drug crime is significant enough to mention in the article. And again, agreeing with JfI, it should most likely have a sentence or two in the appropriate place in the History section. Onel5969 (talk) 13:20, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Trump Visit
Is the visit of Donald Trump really so important to this article? It seems interesting that there is more on Trump's visit than on corruption. It's always tempting to put more emphasis on the most recent goings on, but really, I don't think the notability of a visit by a presidential candidate is worthy of such a long subsection. To put it in perspective, the Midland page briefly mentions the fact that former presidents Bush are from there. They don't have paragraphs describing other officials' opinions of their time there.

As a side note, why does the corruption subsection only have events of the last couple of years? As a kid growing up in Laredo in the 80's, it was pretty evident that corruption ran rampant in that town. [citation needed] W0lfie (talk) 21:12, 23 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Reverted the entire section per NOTNEWS. For a community whose history predates the formation of the United States, a visit by a potential presidential canidate does not even merit mention, much less mention in that much detail. John from Idegon (talk) 02:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Timeline
What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 14:14, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
