[edit] Hola

Hola, espero tener contacto, contribuyo en la pagina en español sobre la RRG, pero es constantemente cyberatacada, presumiblemente por mexicanos centralistas que temen de las publicaciones de este tipo. Espero tener contacto.

Hola. Mi español no es bueno. Gracias por los URLs, pero este Wikipedia se escribe en inglés y la regla ( WP:EL y Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(links)#Foreign-language_sites ) dicen, los URLs debe generalmente estar para los Web site ingleses. Los moveré a la "charla", aqui; espero a alguien que habla español bien los utilice. Tristemente, no puedo.

Aquí en los Estados Unidos, solamente algunos texans e historiadores recuerdan la RRG, porque Tejas no se había convertido en un estado de Estados Unidos. También, los que saben no hablan; la política de la frontera es trastornado este año. studerby 06:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed or not?

If the Republic of Rio Grande failed to exist (see the relevant section in the article) why is it presented in the introduction as if it did exist? They declared their independence, but they never achieved it de jure (or de facto, for that matter). --theDúnadan 17:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I think they had brief de facto status. A historical footnote, like the Confederate States of America Confederacy, or West Florida, still interesting though. --71.192.116.13 04:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filibuster State

There were two proclaimed countries by this name. The one mentioned here at least had some degree of success.

There was also a seperate state established briefly by Jose Carbajal, a Mexican born filibuster. (Dealt with extensively in the two books I read on the subject: Schemers and Dreamers and Manifest Destiny's Underworld). Short lived, he basically took and was driven from Matamoros, similar to Walker's Republic of Sonora/

An internet search for Jose Carbajal + filibuster will turn up some information. I thought I'd mention it, but I'm not going to do anything myself. Give you even odds this article is deleted for being not notable within six months any rate. (And any article on Carjabal would certainly be gone as soon as the DEAT squad discovers it). Worth mentioning though, on the off chance that Wikipedia ever becomes sane. (Ha, ha.) --71.192.116.13 04:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This is an impressive article, when I clicked on the wiki link from the republic of Texas article I was expecting a stub. But unfortunately its riddled with POV statements. I think they should be more neutral.ʄ!•¿talk? 13:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Added citations tag, maybe I'll come back myself to add the relevant citations. ʄ!•¿talk? 03:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
