Talk:San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

Images
I've uploaded an old photo of mine - commons:Image:Mission San Jose doorway detail.jpg - that I know is a doorway in one of these missions; I'm pretty sure it's San José, but I didn't label it when I took it 13-1/2 years ago. If someone who knows the area can confirm, that would good.

Also, I'll start an appropriate Commons category; if someone who lives in the area feels like a photo expedition, we could sure use a lot more photos of the missions. - Jmabel | Talk 08:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. Thanks for your interest in the article.  As you can see, for such an important part of San Antonio & Texas history the article is really lacking in content and media.  Your photo is of San Jose, but not of a door.  It's actually of the ornate rose window on the side of the mission.  Although I have a ton of photos from 2003, the family is planning a July 4th bike trip to all the missions so I'll take some current ones then.  --Brownings 11:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Reads like tourist material
An encyclopedia shouldn't have a heading like "Experiencing the Missions". That's language you see in tourist pamphlets.

Possible layout revisions
When reading this article, there are several things that stand out to me as problematic. First, the first section ("Mission Reach...") seems like a better fit for the history section; it certainly does not warrant a top-level heading. Second, the history section focuses mainly on the Alamo, which is not a part of the park and therefore seems irrelevant. Third, the missions would probably be best grouped under a single heading, with each mission getting its own subheading. Thoughts? -RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
