Battle of Cañada
About the image, I see you uploaded a .pdf, which unfortunately cannot be directly linked as an image. I tried extracting the image from the file but it lost a lot of quality in the process. Could you scan the image again and save it as low-compression .jpg? Then you could send it to me or upload it here directly. Let me know if you need any help. Cheers. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 20:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Mora
Pretty good job for a first article. You can see the changes I made by clicking history. One suggestion is that whatever words are used in the article's title are bolded where they appear in the first paragraph. Wikilinks are what makes Wikipedia fun and addictive. If you don't include them, someone will add them in later, but it is standard practice. I added that battle box, but I just copied it from another Mexican-American War battle article and changed the stats. I have discovered that copying stuff (like tables, etc.) from other articles is simpler than starting from scratch. And finally, every article should have at least one category. Categorizing articles makes it easier for others to find and improve them. Otra sugerencia--you may want to look into merging this account with your use as an IP, or maybe just move the content of your other talkpage to this one. Or mention that you used to contribute as an IP (and which one) on your user page. You might want to put something, even if its just a blank space on your user page, just so it doesn't show up as a redlink. Andale, pues, y sigue echándole ganas.--Rockero420 16:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Battle of Embudo Pass
I had been working on an article about this fight for a while and you just beat me to posting it. I will be adding some details and some pictures and perhaps a map or two - as well as a few more references shortly. One place that I have NOT ventured into is creating and editing things such as the box that you included on the right. The change that needs to happen (opinion) - and I'll try to do it, but don't want to mess up the great job that you did, was to add Pueblo Indians - or something along that line - to the list of combatents. The US Army was headed for a much larger fight at Taos Pueblo so there definately were Pueblos at Embudo Pass. Life is an adventure. Carptrash 17:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * another thing to consider is that the town of Embudo, where the fight took place [near] is now called Dixon, New Mexico, so you might at least consider making that change. This could be a lot of fun, and i DO understand the limited number of hours in a day. Carptrash 19:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * And the Apaches are going to show up again in the Battle of Cienequilla in 1854. Carptrash 20:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)  PS - if you are in NM, I am planing a day trip to the Glorieta Pass battle-site in March, on one of the days that the battle was fought and you would be very welcome.  I walked both the Embudo Pass and Cieneguilla battle grounds on their anniversaries and doing Glorieta will give me the hat trick.
 * I did not realize that there might be a re-enactment, it is definately something that I'll look for. I am planning on doing some architecture of NM articles and also some on the architects - Meens and Rapp for sure.  The area that I felt that I had most to offer wikipedia has been sculpture and architecture [history of], but I have always been fascinated by history in general and local in particular and so have been branching out a bit.  I would very much enjoy working together with you.  Carptrash 20:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I just checked with my traveling companion and Feb 1 in Mora is a definate "maybe." I will have to check out the article on the Battle of Mora to get more details and perhaps I can return with a picture or two.  Thanks, amigo.  Carptrash 23:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * yes, directions would be very welcome. I have just finished reading John Durand's book, "The Taos Massacres" which is sort of a loose history of the time - loose in the sense that the author has dialogue and uses his imagination to fill in some missing information, but it is very researched and he makes a point of saying that his narative is in accordance with all the known facts.  Anyway St. Vrain plays a big part in the story and I like to pay my respects.  Carptrash 23:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I just printed out your directions and will let you know when/if it happens. Meanwhile I just slopped together a piece on John Burgwin that you should feel free to have a go at. Or,. . . ......  you might just wish to stay as far away as you can. Carptrash 00:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Taos Revolt
Coolness Personified.

I am strongly tempted to change Siege of Pueblo de Taos to the Battle of Taos Pueblo, or is this too gringocentric of me? Or, maybe it just needs a redirect - which I don't know how to do. I just found a wonderful quote from Lewis H. Garrard, who was in Taos at the trials after the revolt that I was going to add in the Siege article. I guess that I still will, but it might belong over here too, or instead. Carptrash 01:22, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * check out this web site for another opinion of those executed.      http://www.kmitch.com/Taos/revolt1847.html   it lists Tomasito as being one of those hanged, which I am pretty clear that he was NOT, but non-the-less it looks pretty good.  It's where I got some of my stats from and should go in the Links section somewhere.  I think that the numbers involved at almost every aspect of these events are at best someone's guesses.  Anyway, i just stopped at the Dixon library and grabbed a handful of books - and was interested to note that no one had checked them out since I had done so 2 years ago.  You'll see them appear on the Refferences of various articles.  Also the WPA Guide which had some tib-bit about Moro that I was going to use.  The trip to which, I might add,  is now in jepardy because it has begun snowing.  Life is good, but snow is best experienced looking out the living room window rather than driving through in 10,000 foot passes.  Carptrash 23:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Good catch on the Tomas conundrum. I just added another reference to "Romero" on some talk page, so I'm hanging with it a bit longer.  And yes, Moro is probably off for now. Carptrash 23:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

OH
He definitely needed an article. But he's actually Cuban-American, so technically wouldn't fall under the purview of the project. But it was a good way to bring it to someone's attention. A better way, however, would be to include your articles in at least one category. I am convinced that that is the number one way that people find articles they're interested in. Like if he would've been categorized as a Pulitzer Prize winner, then some literature freak out there might have picked up where you left off. Another way (although this sometimes just sends articles into oblivion) is by tagging it as a stub. You can see an entire list at WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Or I think you can just put, and someone else will sort it out. Good looking out ese.--Rockero420 05:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

The penitents
That's the problem. If you follow wiki policies, then you will have to exclude oral sources, unless, for example, you find transcripts (or recordings) of interviews or oral histories, which who knows, there may be some in the Special Collections of UNM or somewhere. One of wikipedia's shortcomings is the difficulty in policing the sources issue. In my opinion, it can be exploited for the good if it is on a non-controversial topic and is written in a way that doesn't make it totally obvious that it is original research. In my article on your home state's Sandia Pueblo, I included "original research" on customs and things like that because the one publication specifically dedicated to the tribe is pretty old and is a history, not an ethnography. So I included what I knew from experience, but only listed my textual sources. I actually wrote it before I knew the no original research policy, so I mention on the talk page that some of my sources were oral. But nobody has challenged it, partly because nobody reads it, but I also think part of the reason is because it doesn't stick out--that is, it flows well and is cautiously included. So I recommend that either a) you write a paper on the Penitentes and get it published somewhere, and then use it as one of your sources (the easy/hard way out that might not be bad for your academic career, either), or b) read all the literature out there and then selectively include what they write at the same time as you artfully include what you know. For example, if some scholar makes a big deal about something that isn't a big part of the group, like say the flagellation, then try to isolate them in that analysis by mentioning that they are the only ones who make a big deal about it. If you take on the responsibility of writing the article, you can craft it any way you see fit. And if you're good enough with your words, you can create the impression you want to on your reader and still follow (or skirt) Wikipedia's rules. Suerte pues, --Rockero420 06:05, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

RLT
I just finished Tijerina's autobiography last week but I haven't gotten around to fixing the article. I notice you added in some background on the land grant struggle--good work. I want to be more specific-get into Thomas Catron and the Santa Fe Ring, talk about Governor Pile, etc. I'm also trying to find a PD image of the man (no luck yet). You're in NM, right? So maybe you can get a hold of some things I can't, like newspapers, etc.? I haven't gotten around to reading the Nobokov book, but I think I can expand and correct the article at least a little from the autobio. Maybe we can split up the work if you're interested....--Rockero420 20:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Bummer, I thought you were still there. There is already an article on the Alianza, which desperately needs expansion, but perhaps an overarching article on land grants in general is warranted.  For now maybe we should focus on expanding the bio and the org articles?  I think we can get most of the pertinent info about the struggle into the Alianza article...--Rockero420 21:09, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No, he doesn't mention either of them.--Rockero420 21:19, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I've done about as much as I can on the Tijerina article without reading more books. I'd be glad if you gave it a once over, though. The land grant issue definitely needs more coverage on the wiki, and I hope we can accomplish this goal.--Rockero420 07:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the additions. Can you take the "revised" template off when you're done? I doubt anyone else will know/care enough to review it...Gracias.--Rockero420 18:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Just thought I'd let you know about WikiProject Mexican-Americans/Chicanos. Some of the other guys and I have been working to create and expand Mexican-American and Chicano-related articles, and I think you'd be a valuable asset. Check out the project page and sign up if you're interested. In case its any enticement, I've been awarding the Chicano barnstar to participants who write three new articles. PAZ, --Rockero420 22:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Yet another message from ese pinche Rockero...
Holy land grants, Batman! Ha, just kidding. I still haven't gotten around to looking over the Pueblo Revolt article, and the reason is because I had been hoping to expand it myself. I checked out a book (a pretty recent one, with essays written from various perspectives--there is even one by Angélico Chávez!) and started reading it, but I haven't gotten too far. I'm sure whatever is there is better than what we had before, but I like to withhold edits until I know what I'm talking about, if at all possible.

Have you seen what's going on with Caló (Chicano)? Cityside Seraph has gone to town, making many edits. Some of them are helpful, as the article needed (needs) a lot of work. But but most of them were made without any concensus from the community. He/she has also accused me (not in so many words) of elitism. It seems this person is fairly new and not quite familiar with policies and procedures yet. I'm going to propose some mergers and renames, and I just wanted to give you a heads up since you expressed similar concerns to mine on the talk page. I may need your help to convince homie that I'm not trying to censor anyone's input or anything, if it comes down to that.

Thanks again for your help w/ RLT. And I thought I'd mention that I have some sandbox articles on specific grants on my userpage (Bacs à sable) that I hope to create real articles out of someday, whenever I get around to doing more research. But if you feel inclined to expand them or even post them yourself, I would appreciate your input/efforts.

Paz, vale--Rockero420 00:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Chávez
¿Qué pasa Murciélago? I want you to check out Angélico Chávez. I read his essay on the Pueblo Revolt, and makes the intriguing suggestion that a mulatto named Domingo Naranjo became the representative of Pohé-meyo (a sun kachina?) and directed the revolt from a Taos kiva. Another historian I just read makes a somewhat big deal about the participation of mestizos in the Revolt. I mention this because I seem to remember your questioning the mestizo participation in the revolt somewhere. I delinked Revolt of 1837 in a few articles, since it linked to a Canadian revolt, so we may need to write a new article. I also changed Mora, New Mexico from a redirect to Mora County into a stub on the city proper. Is there anything you can do to expand it? Gracias, --Rockero 21:25, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Manuel Chaves
Hi. I was glad to see your work on Manuel Chaves, and I cleaned it up a bit. It had taken me quite a while to locate Texas Santa Fe Expedition, but I thought we might as well link to it instead of explaining the expedition, which was ostensibly not an invasion; historians apparently debate its real purpose.

Also, how sure are you that the Mexican government decorated Chaves for his actions with regard to that expedition? Simmons doesn't mention it, though he does rather sarcastically mention a medal for Armijo, and Simmons seems to be pretty complete about any official mention of Chaves. I'm wondering whether there's some confusion about who got the medal.

By the way, Armijo needs an article, imho. I might start it if nobody else does. &mdash;JerryFriedman 17:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, "no further questions". I'd still like to see Twitchell's source, but it would take more digging than I think we need to do.  (By the way, Simmons mentiones Chaves's friendship with Cook too.)  &mdash;JerryFriedman 21:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Pachuca fashion
Good looking out. It can be hard to know about new articles. I have commented on the talkpage and placed a merge tag. If nobody objects, I'll merge them later on.

I appreciate your offer to support my candidacy for admin, but it might reflect poorly on me to in the eyes of some editors to announce it here. But since you asked, I suppose I can point you to Requests for adminship/Rockero. --Rockero 20:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Thx
Hey Bat-man. I'm an admin. Any problems, just let me know. Oh, BTW, did you know that there has been an article about Padre Antonio Martinez for a while now? It's under Padre Martinez. Check it out.--Rockero 00:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Padre Martinez
Thank you for your help. I plan to write some more articles about famous native New Mexicans and appreciate the guidance. If you have any good tips or shortcuts they'd be greatly appreciated. Kevin 02:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

the Brotherhood
I gave it a once-over for links. I don't know too much about them, so you may need to verify. For one, I changed the lead from "sect" to "lay order", but I'm not sure if that is exactly accurate. One of Fray Angelico Chavez's short stories from New Mexico Triptych is called "The Penitente Thief"... think it should be mentioned? Good job once again, Murci.--Rockero 18:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * After re-reading religious order, I wonder if it was the correct designation. Orders can include the laity, but the definition as "an organization of people who live in some way set apart from society in accordance with religious devotion" really doesn't seem to fit the cofradía. I am definitely opposed to "sect", however, because it connotes (if not denotes) a deviation from an orthodoxy. While some of their practices may not be exactly orthodox, they are Catholics and function within the church, not in opposition to it. Come to think of it, maybe "cofraternity" is the best way to describe them?? Let me know what you think. PAZ, --Rockero 00:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Revolt of 1837
Nice job&mdash;thanks for pointing it out. I just put in a lot of links and made it more concise. I've returned the biography of Manuel Chaves I was using to the library, but one of these days I'll get it out again and see if I can make any substantive additions, though your article looks complete. &mdash;JerryFriedman 17:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's a very good article. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 20:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Way to go. I've returned my book on the Revolt to the library because i didn't get to it until the fines were starting to pile up, but its there, waiting.. Carptrash 05:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Penitentes
I'm glad to see there's finally an article, and a good one, on the penitentes. But why is the word redlinked? That's what everybody calls them, as far as I know. I'd add a redirect, but I'm wondering what your reason is.

By the way, both the American Heritage and Merriam-Webster dictionaries on line list "confraternity" but not "cofraternity", so I think "confraternity" is the best translation of cofradía. I'll change the Argentinian Los Penitentes. And at some point I may see if I can find some documented information to expand the article. (This could include a glance at Brave New World to see whether John the Savage's community is based partly on the penitentes, as I remember.) &mdash;JerryFriedman 17:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Here's what's at the redirect page: #REDIRECT Los Penitentes (New Mexico) . Very simple (though I've gotten it wrong a number of times by leaving out the brackets) and useful.


 * However, now that you've told me the article name wasn't a throughly considered consensus, I think there could be a better name, so I'm going to suggest something at the discussion page.


 * Undocumented factoid: in Santa Cruz, at least, there are two moradas, one supervised by the Church and one not. A member of the unofficial one refers to the official one as "the pretenders' morada".  Or so a friend has told me.

 * Well, I'll keep putting in information from some sources I got from the library, but don't let me stand in your way! It sure is hard to know who to trust, though.  Lots of the accounts seem to come from enemies of Armijo's.  &mdash;JerryFriedman 01:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for voting for the Knights of Columbus on the Catholic Collaboration page! I know that it is not the CCW article for a few weeks, but right now it is up for FAC so if you could see your way over there early that would be great. Right now the only person holding out on supporting it has a complaint about the prose, so copyediting would be particularly helpful. Thanks again! --Briancua 14:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Armijo
Good to see your additions to Manuel Armijo. However, I've got a couple of questions. The article at http://www.latinohistory.com/people.php?id=92 says he was never indicted for treason, but you said he was indicted but not convicted. What's your source? It would be good to straighten that out. And why did you take out the statement that he tried to have the captives from the Texan Santa Fe expedition killed? Because the only testimony we have seems to be from the survivors of the expedition, who hated Armijo?

Footnoted references are easy, it turns out. Where you want the footnote, put

If you want to refer to the same work more than once, you can give it a name. The first time, you type the reference as

Later you can refer to it as

and a footnote will appear with the same number as your first reference. Then in the references section of the article, you just put to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Further to what you wrote on the talk-page there: it is never acceptable to insert copyright material into Wikipedia, even if you intend to remove it later. Doing so and then copy-editing the text to make it less similar to the source is not acceptable, as it can give rise to a derivative work – copyright violations need to be completely removed. Content added to Wikipedia must be entirely in your own words. Let me know (here is fine) if you have questions. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:37, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
