Speedy deletion nomination of The Fighting Flores Brothers (Texas Revolution)
[edit]
A tag has been placed on The Fighting Flores Brothers (Texas Revolution) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Verbal chat 07:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Flores brothers insertion into Texas Revolution articles
[edit]Hi DLS Texas. I've noticed that you've been inserting mention of the Flores brothers into all sorts of Texas Revolution articles. You've probably noticed that I've been removing these mentions as soon as I see them. Wikipedia articles need to be built based on information found in reliable sources. Scholarly works are considered the most reliable sources. I've done a great deal of reading on the Texas Revolution, and none of the sources mention the Flores brothers. While you can probably find a few sources that do mention them in some way, including them in these articles gives undue weight to them considering that the scholarly sources don't ever mention them when giving an overview of the battles, the revolution in general, or Mexican Texas. Please stop spamming the articles with this information. Karanacs (talk) 13:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, stumbled across this on another errand, and maybe got my dander up a bit; but the above "none of the sources mention the Flores brothers" was not only an unnecessary remark but suggests lack of good sources. I quite honestly grabbed the books closest to me and each one mentioned the Flores brothers. The sister was Juan Seguin's wife, Salvador was Captain of a cavalry unit and a town named after another one of the brothers-- mentioned in Sequin's A Revolution Remembered, Moore's Eighteen Minutes and Savage Frontier, Jenkins' Recollections of Early Texas, and Smithwick's, The Evolution of a State-- need I go to my shelf and grab more?. Maybe not enough for inclusion, but that family is hardly "unmentioned."
- Also, please note that in Texas History, there has been an historical prejudice to mention the wealthy and well-educated and neglect the common folk who played every bit as large, as important, and as heroic a role; and in even in the accounts from such persons, there is a tendency to "name-drop" in their memoirs (e.g., Smithwick). The neglect of Texas heroes with Hispanic surnames is rather a notorious practice. Wikipedia has no page limit, and so opening to valid historic entires, long neglected, seems a fine purpose-- and I'm Scotch-Irish! I would expect to see at least one article on that family in the Handbook of Texas Online.

Runaway Scrape
[edit]I noted your addition of General Vicente Filisola as leading the largest group at San Felipe during the Runaway Scrape on the Texas Revolution article. Santa Anna and Sesma were leading the armies there. I will need to look it up, but I do not believe that Filisola commanded a division at the time, serving instead on Santa Anna's staff. Filisola, however, led the entire Mexican forces in its own retreat after San Jacinto. I'm enjoying your edits-- they often jog my own memory and shake loose a piece of interest to add.--cregil (talk) 22:22, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Here's the passage written by ALdSA"....I ordered the battalion of regulars of Aldama under command of General Adrian Woll to construct flat boats to facilitate the passage of the division that had remained under the command of General Filisola."
Kemp/Kilman"....the Mexican general proceeded on April 14 on the road to Harrisburg, taking with him about 700 men and one twelve-pounder cannon. Urrea was at Matagorda with 1200 men: Gaona was somewhere between Bastrop and San Felipe, with 725; Sesma, at Fort Bend, with about 1,000, and Vicente Filisola between San Felipe and Fort Bend, with nearly 1800 men."
"Filisola and the main Mexican Army camped at Thompson’s Ferry with 1,408 men. Urrea with 1,165 men left Mrs. Powell’s home at 4 a.m. (April 20) and arrived at Columbia at 4 p.m., which was deserted. He then marched to its port (La Puerta) two miles distance."
"He knew Filisola had approximately 2,500 troops near Old Fort and Santa Anna took the road back to Filisola by way of Harrisburg. His cavalry followed. Without effective leaders the Mexican infantry broke and ran. The Texians crossed the Mexican breastworks in about 18 minutes as the leaderless infantry scattered."
- Yes, I see how you came to that conclusion. However...
- The central vanguard at San Felipe was made up the Brigade under Cos and the Brigade under Sesma, the two together making a Division and that division was led by Santa Anna when Gaona was ordered southeast to meet them and as Gaona did so (painfully slowly by Mexican point of view!). "the main forces of Filisola at San Felipe" is therefore, anachronistic.
- The original text took this all into consideration and was worded accordingly.
- --cregil (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I see what you mean, it really doesn't fit there. Santa Anna was in San Felipe and Filisola was not. I would still like to see a line in about Filisola.
As Santa Anna sped forward, General Filisola would follow with the rear guard, transporting artillery, supplies, and livestock. Santa Anna, ahead of the main forces, would issue orders to Filisola, who would in turn would issue orders to the Generals (in charge of their own forces), thus making it possible for Santa Anna's orders to be carried out.
So in a sense Filisola was in charge of the main forces....right???
Field orders issued April 8 from SA at San Felipe appear to place Filisola in control of the army. Upon reaching the Brazos and in the absence of the supreme commander, now rushing to Harrisburg, Filisola was placed in command of the remaining forces....with these orders: they were supposed to converge at the Brazos, with orders to cross, find, take 500 men and attack and defeat the Texian army and then rendezvous with Santa Anna at Harrisburg.

Fair use rationale for File:BJ_Jones.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:BJ_Jones.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi DLS! I saw that you created Gonzales Ranging Company of Mounted Volunteers recently. There used to be an article for Immortal 32 that's now been redirected to Battle of the Alamo. I think this one needs to be a redirect as well. The company isn't really notable, in my opinion. There isn't that much about the company that isn't in the article (or in Siege of the Alamo). The biggest omission is the list of names, and most of the people on it don't meet inclusion criteria on their own. I'd like to redirect this article. Karanacs (talk) 16:08, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
If you believe it best, that would be fine.DLS Texas (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to propose a move on this page, but wanted to run it past you first. As far as I can tell, the only thing that distinguishes this from the Peruvian politician Rafael Vásquez is a little accent mark on the first name. And there's Rafael Vásquez (baseball). It can get very confusing in the Search box. I'd like to propose moving the Peruvian politician to Rafael Vásquez (Peruvian politician), and the one you created to Ráfael Vásquez (Mexican Army general). And then a disambiguation page to include all of them. Please let me know how you feel about this. The person who created the Peruvian politican page has been inactive for years. Maile66 (talk) 23:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, sounds okay or Mexican General or just General, any would be fine DLS Texas (talk) 02:59, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]
{{subst:AFC submission/submit}} to the top of the article.) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)Hi there. I added an infobox and some minor verbiage in the lead. This is the third person I've found who was (according to the Handbook of Texas) called the Paul Revere of Texas. It's a big state - they needed more than one. A word to the wise on this article. Just eyeballing it, I can see where in the future someone will tag it on what WP considers Lists, where you have the names of people who served, etc. Maile66 (talk) 22:33, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Ludwig Colquhoun
[edit]You picked a tough one. I'm not sure how you found this person, but I don't immediately find anything other than what you have, so it's difficult for me to punch it up. You have a pretty good start on this, but I think you need to do more research. Good luck with this. Maile66 (talk) 20:11, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
And I don't know the details of why they don't consider this person notable. I do have some tips to give you on this, and any future articles:
- References. If you use the Edit Toolbar when you are in the Edit screen, there are templates that can be filled out for references. If you don't see an Edit Toolbar, go to Preferences, Editing, and check the box "Show Edit Toolbar". Then in the Edit screen, up at top you will see "Cite" . Click that, and over on the left you will then see "Templates". It will help you a lot to standardize and wikify your refrences.
- Notability - I do notice that the guidelines say "If you write an article that doesn't state, at the very beginning, why something is notable, you've significantly increased its roadkill potential." The lead section is supposed to be a synopsis of the rest of the article, something that immediately tells the reader why this subject is notable. That said, I think you need to find more information to fill the article, and punch up the lead section after you have done that.
- Perhaps one clue of Notability is if you click on a red link Ludovic Colquhoun, and when it comes up and tells you that there is no such page (etc.), go ahead anyway to the left-hand side and click on "What links here". If there are already non-user links that indicate other pages that have red links to what you are trying to create, that's an indication someone else thought the subject notable enough to include it on a red link on what they created. In the case of Lucovic, there are no such pages.
- If there are not at least three such non-user red links out there when you create the page, my experience has been that your new page will get slapped by a bot with an "Orphan" tag. I would suggest searching what you consider related pages to see if a reference to Ludovic should be inserted as a red link, and then do it yourself.
- Perhaps one clue of Notability is if you click on a red link Ludovic Colquhoun, and when it comes up and tells you that there is no such page (etc.), go ahead anyway to the left-hand side and click on "What links here".

In the case of Lucovic, there are no such pages.
- Cite Find a Grave - Ludwig's grave is Here Find a Grave is a good thing to bookmark. And the template itself, is really a matter of putting it between the ref symbols, and inputing the appropriate information: [1] Check this in your Edit screen to see how I did it. The number in there is the Find a Grave Memorial number found at the bottom of any person's page.
- Google Books A very good place to find information, and good for references.
- Categories: Don't put the colon ahead of the category inside the brackets. The colon is only once, inbetween the word Category, and the name of the category. Inputting the categories with Hot Cat gadgets - after you've created the article - would really help you. Preferences, Gadgets, Editing, check the "Hot Cat" selection. Look at any article, and the categories, if input correctly, should only appear in the category bar at the bottom of the page.
- When you get this done, you can include the existing category for this one: Burials at San Antonio Cemetery No. 1
- Research tools for Texas: Texas State Cemetery Database • Governors of Texas • Political Graveyard • Texas General Land Office • Texas Government Online • Texas Legislature Online

Gaona's Brigade from Bastrop to San Felipe
[edit]I made a change on the date of General Antonio Gaona's departure from Bastrop (Mina)-- from April 15 to April 5. I am well aware of the lack of specifics available to researchers, but three facts place the date at or near April 5. 1) Noah Smithwick's account of his time with Tumlinson' Rangers in Evolution of a State states that the Rangers witnessed Gaona's Brigade arrive at the Colorado, and then that company of Rangers immediately heads from Bastrop toward the Brazos, arriving on the outskirts of Washington on the Brazos on the night of the full moon, which was April 1st. So we know that Gaona arrived across from Bastrop/Mina on or about March 27. 2) Jose Urrea's Diary states that Gaona had been delayed (for nefarious reasons) in Bastrop for eight days, so we know that after at least one day to cross the river, the occupation lasted eight days, which takes us to approximately the 5th of April. 3) Santa Anna, departs San Felipe frustrated by Gaona's failure to appear, referring to Gaona's Brigade as "lost in the desert;" and Filisola remarks that Gaona arrived in San Felipe on April 17.
Given the weather and lack of available routes for a fully equipped Brigade, an eleven or twelve day march is about right-- whereas a two day march (the April 15 date) is impossible.
From a April 7 dispatch from Rusk and Houston to Major Williamson, we know that, out of Washington on the Brazos, Ranger scouts had captured at least two Mexican scouts on April 6, suggesting that Gaona's Brigade probably continued on the San Antonio Road to the Brazos and then picked its way down the right bank of the river toward San Felipe. At the expected 12 miles per day march, that is, at best, a ten day journey.--cregil (talk) 13:48, 28 May 2012 (UTC)instructions]]. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[1]

Saffold Dam Marker
[edit]Saffold Dam is located on SH 123 on the south edge of Seguin, Texas with the northern edge bordering Max Starke Park. The dam was named for Civil War veteran William Saffold, whose father purchased the property here in the mid-1800s from San Jacinto veteran Manuel N. Flores. The Flores Falls were originally a natural rock outcropping, Saffold Dam was a mill dam, typical of the styles built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The dam was first improved by Henry Troell in the late 1800s. Troell added rocks to heighten the dam, raising the water level in order to power a cotton gin. In 1907, the City of Seguin bought Troell's property to further develop the river's hydroelectricity, and later improvements led to the establishment of a hydroelectric plant on the dam's south side. The plant is currently nonoperational and a restaurant complex is under development.

Colonial and Mexican Governors of Texas
[edit]Hello!
Thanks for your contributions in the articles about Texas history! I wanted to ask you if you would want to publish some article of colonial governors of Texas (List of Colonial and Mexican Governors of Texas). I think all (or most) them should have articles in Wikipedia because they were governors of this place. So, I posted many of them because before there was almost no colonial governor of Texas who had articles on wikipedia and I am interested in this theme. I was wondering if you wanted to help me by publishing some of them. Thank you.--Isinbill (talk) 19:09, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

The article List of birds of South Texas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
(1) The page has no sources listed for either the list or its taxonomy (2) The region it applies to has no particular political or biogeographic significance (3) The list is arranged alphabetically by Family, a radically different arrangement from nearly all other lists of birds (4) Even if every other objection were fixed, it's far from a complete list
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
