Vandalism

Sure looks like there is a fair amount of vandalism scattered through the article. Someone better than I at deciphering the history should clean it up. I'd make a mess. 66.92.65.86 (talk) 04:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Texans

Surely it would be better to use the normal term for Texas residents, "Texans", rather than the strange "Texians" which is used throughout this article. EraNavigator (talk) 00:16, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read Texian? As far as I can tell there, the word refers to anyone of any color and language not of local Tejano heritage, especially during that time. --an odd name 00:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We prefer "Taxicano" - and that should be the proper term used to refer to the Citizens of the Republic of Texas. Shall we change the article to this, or should I do it? Mwahcysl (talk) 18:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FA

why was this nominated a FA? I've seen much better and through articles. Vinson 01:34, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was the FAC. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 01:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Texian

Texian is a word that doesn't exist

Texian is not the right name for people from Texas. It should be Texans and it is either the Texan Army or the Texas Army.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.116.224.173 (talk • contribs)

According to our articles on Texian and the Texian Army and references such as Handbook of Texas Online and the Texas Almanac published by the Texas State Historical Association, the word exists. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 11:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do any outside sources refer to anyone from Texas and its history as Texians?68.210.221.194 (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's the standard term for pre-statehood Texans. It's fairly handy as a disambiguator. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 19:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
