[edit] Comments

It looks like almost the entire Pueblo Revolt article is here. Since there is a main article, all this article should do is have a {{main}} warning and then summarize the revolt in a paragraph. Similarly, the New Mexico article should summarize the state's history as briefly as possibly (in a paragraph or two, maybe three). Also, I like the mention that the recorded history begins with the Spanish, but it's not entirely accurate. The indigenous people had ways of recording their history, and I think more discussion of that history is merited.--Rockero 16:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

All valid points. In my opinion the Pueblo revolt is the most interesting event in the history of New Mexico and I would like to see more than a single paragraph but it's just a question of weight. Please feel free to cut down what I left in the main New Mexico article. I don't feel competent to judge what are the most notable events myself so I left quite a bit. probably more than necessary. Recorded history usually means written. I don't know of any sources that the pueblos had any kind of writing, but would be happy to see anything citable added. Note that I actually expanded the section on Native American's from its shamefully short status to slightly less so. Eluchil404 17:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Minor note, only about half the Pueblo revolt article is copied here. Several paragraphs at the end of the section actually come from the main New Mexico article, and a number of details are omitted. Not that it couldn't be edited to be more concise or fit better in its new context. Eluchil404 17:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History IN New Mexico 1700-1826

Shouldn't there be some mention of the history after the reconquest and before Mexican Independance? Aside from brief notice of how what was outside of New Mexico was affecting it, there does seem to be much here. Bejnar 23:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
