Battles of the Mexican-American War
I've done some edits and cleanup here and there to this list over the past few months. At this point I think this is an accurate and pretty much complete list of engagements of the Mexican-American War and as such it deserves featured status. Suggestions for improvement welcome, of course. -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 12:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Nominate and Support -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 12:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, though I hope my objections can be fairly easily dealt with. (1) I'd like to see a little more context in the intro - obviously not duplicating the whole of the Mexican-American War article, but maybe a paragraph setting out the basics, such as when the war began and ended (especially given the mention of "prior to the official start of hostilities"), the basic reasons for it, and the overall outcome. (2) I don't think that people's names in the comments should be in bold. (3) Not absolutely necessary, but are there any images available? I see there's none on Mexican-American War either. Maybe one of the key personalities? --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:50, 5 October 2005 (UTC) Excellent work - now fully support. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 08:34, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope I addressed your concerns now. The "basics" paragraph ended up being a background section, specially because I thought it was necessary to clarify the circumstances under which the two battles before the official declaration of war, happened. -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 21:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Support as is, but I'd prefer something along the lines of "information" or "overview" instead of "comments" in the column header of the table. Also, there are three battles/events without information on them (just the name and the date, no explanation).  Any chance of including that?  --Spangineer  (háblame)  14:00, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support subject to the above concerns. --Cloveious 17:30, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I wish I could add some more notes on those battles, but I did not write the original article and right now I have no way to access any useful printed sources. Googling doesn't give any useful info either. -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 21:32, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thats all right then, I won't hold it against you, I have been in the same pickle --Cloveious 02:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
