[edit] Not Missions

Two of the churches on the list,

• El Santuario de Chimayó - Site of an Easter pilgrimage by foot to the holy spot every year. Not a mission.
• Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe - Founded c. 1777; believed to be nation's oldest shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Not a mission.

--aren't actually missions, so perhaps shouldn't be on this list. They are famous NM churches, however. Keep or drop -- opinions?

The above are proposed edits, which are spamblocked at the moment because

• "The following link has triggered our spam protection filter: http://www.newmexico.org" -- Spam filter notice

This is the website of the New Mexico Tourism Department, which doesn't seem to be working properly now, but certainly shouldn't be blacklistd! Anyway, I've reported the problem to MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist‎ (Request for unlisting of New Mexico Tourism Department). Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Unblocked now, so above are real edits. I removed the newmexico.org links anyway, as all were dead -- and none I've tried elsewhere on WP have worked for weeks. Pete Tillman (talk) 20:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
