History
I've removed the following statement from the history section, which seems debatable: Scholars believe that the Maya initially migrated from the lowlands and settled in the highlands only after the collapse of the "Classic" Maya civilization. Linguistic reconstructions at least rather have it the other way around, ie Proto-Mayan(s) dispersing from the Chiapan-Guatemalan highland regions into the lowlands. If anyone has suitable refs to the contrary, it can be modified appropriately.--cjllw | TALK  08:32, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

keeping title "San Cristóbal de las Casas" instead of "San Cristóbal, Chiapas"
The former title is fine, because there is no other city with the same name, so no need to disambiguate them. Unless there is a specific conflict with an established style guideline for similar articles (maybe a Mexican cities wikiproject or similar would establish such a guideline?), I don't see any reason to move it to a "city, state" title. See WP:NAME:CITY for clarification: as explained, “The general rule is to name an article about a city or town with a name that does not conflict with any other town or concept as city name.” --jacobolus (t) 17:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

aboutsancristobal.com
This external link has been added numerous times. It is almost completely devoid of useful information, its only purpose seems to be to promote three low-end hostels.

Mexconnect
The Mexconnect source seems to be very unprofessionally written and I think some of the information it gives may be questionable. What do you think? 69.235.201.176 (talk) 13:14, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
