[edit] Section move

The history section of the Pensacola, Florida article was unduly large. With it sectioned off to History of Pensacola, Florida (in a similar manner to Tallahassee, Florida and History of Tallahassee, Florida), it can be referred to from both the Pensacola article and the Escambia County, Florida article. Also, editors working on the Pensacola article can now focus on improving the quality of that article as a whole. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 05:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing

06-January-2007: As a new (Oct-2006), roll-out article from the "Pensacola" article, there are no references; however, the extensive details seem to match various Internet historical webpages as accurate. Until citations are added, I have just today tagged the first section as "unreferenced" but think I can add footnotes within a few hours. The text is verifiying as extremely accurate, so far. I have added a "Notes" section and inserted the first footnotes. The sources state Pensacola is even older, re-settled in 1696 not 1698 (adjusted in article). -Wikid77 00:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the article could do with a healthy dose of sources. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 01:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm fairly certain I've read that there were survivors who returned to Mexico. Whether they did it by foot or another means, I don't know. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 14:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Once you throw some more refs around, I think it'll be a good canidate for Good article status. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 22:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
