Tomás' surname?

[edit]

The Taos Indian Tomás' surname in this article is listed as "Baca", but in the Taos Revolt article, it is listed as Romero. All my sources refer to him only as either Tomás or Tomasito (Spanish diminutive for Tomás, akin to the English "Tommy"), and give no surname. I am assuming that Tomás Baca and Tomás Romero are one and the same person, given the detail about Tomás Baca's death given in the Siege of Pueblo de Taos article. What are the sources for the surnames Baca/Romero as pertain to Tomás/Tomasito?

WPMILHIST Assessment

[edit]

The article could probably benefit from some expansion, and a picture if anything appropriate could be found. But, it has an infobox, is grammatically good, contains a good and seemingly complete overview of the subject, cites its sources, and is well sectioned. LordAmeth 20:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It does not seem right (to me)

[edit]

to list Mexico as a beligerent here (and at the Battle of Embudo Pass too) because although these events occured during the Mexican-American War there were no Mexican troops involved. All the fighting took place between US troops and local insurgents. Although these folks were at the time Mexican citizens it seems to me that putting Mexican in the info box is misleading.

Also, I have found no evidence of any Apaches being involved in any of this action, and I have looked pretty hard. I will remove them from these articles in a week or so, giving anyone who feels differently a chance to present another opinion. Carptrash (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
