This article reads like an ad for the city. It sounds like it was taken from the chamber of commerce pamphlet 108.233.106.215 (talk) 08:31, 15 April 2017 (UTC)BeaMyra[reply]

History section

Text doesn't match any from alamo.org or museumsrv.org; plus nothing on google either. I'll take off the {{copypaste}} tag. --h2g2bob (talk) 00:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question re 1851 to 1857

The history section has a few dates that overlap in a curious way. If the years are correct, perhaps the section should have a note explaining it. The section says the brothers Inocencio and Jose Romero lost their ranch in American courts in 1857. Meanwhile, the Jones couple settled there in 1851 and John Jones became postmaster in 1852. So, did the U.S. Post Office really find enough people to serve in Alamo to establish an office there while there was still some question about who owned the land? What were Inocencio and Jose doing as new settlers sunk their fence posts? --TedC (talk) 18:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"uncited and excessive details"

I disagree with the removal of the two items I added in the history section.

  • In the section on modern times about the controversy over Richard Foster, I had added, "He had mused to students at Monte Vista High School on the possibility of someday busing students from Richmond." It indicates the sensitivity of the issues raised, and it is germaine to the section.
  • In the same section, about the defeat of the 1964 attempt at incorporation, I had added "taxes" as one of the main concerns. How is ""loss of identity for Alamo" not excessive and "taxes" excessive?

Both were reported extensively in local newspapers, which can be found though not immediately. The facts are not harmful. Why didn't you simply ask for sources?

This article has many uncited details that could be considered excessive, yet you didn't delete those.

Please explain. TedC (talk) 21:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, hope you don't mind my removing all that unnecessary HTML formatting from your comments; it's totally not necessary here, and easier (and better) to use the Wiki-formatting. (By the way, you might want to check out your signature: apparently, you're missing the end </small> tag, which causes everything following to be rendered in teeny tiny type.
Anyhow, you're right: there's probably a lot of other stuff that ought to be removed, and perhaps I'll get around to it. I responded to your edits, which introduced trivial information without any reference, citation or other validation. You could at least trying to find sources for this stuff; if you need help formatting references, just ask. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 01:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
