History of Texas was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

[edit] GA failed

Reasons given are :

  • Why is there a subsection on important dates? Is is useful to the section? I'd rather see it as a prosed subsection that can be added to the current sections.
  • Still on the important dates subject ... why does the Spanish Texas section gives info about the period of 1690-1821 and the important dates give information beyond these boundaries (e.g.:1519, 1528-1534, 1685)?
  • A footnote to go with that statement : The Rio Grande and South Texas areas have had a long and turbulent history of independence movements by the local Mexican population, on account of unitary and perceived dictatorial and unconstitutional practices by the central Mexican government, would be appreciated.
  • Why did their name change from the Texians to the Texans?
  • Choose the style of US (or U.S.).
  • The section Texas Modernizes: 1945–2006 should be expanded and be different from the Texas' section too.
  • The article should be expanded and the main Texas article's history section should be shortened. Lincher 14:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mexican-American War

Is there some reason this article doesn't even have a link to this subject? Am I missing something?--Lord Kinbote 16:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong date or wrong president?

The article says President Polk signed the bill on March 1 to authorize admitting Texas. He didn't take office until March 4. You guys need a Canadian to tell you this? (grin) I don't know which part is right, so I've flagged it "contradiction".

Thanks for spotting the error. It was the wrong president. Tyler did it. Rjensen 08:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
