Untitled[edit]

It would be great to explain how Armijo was "forced" to flee. He got a lot of criticism for it at the time, including accusations of taking a bribe from the U.S. By the way, he had an interesting life and probably deserves an article. One of these days, if I get around to it... —JerryFriedman 18:10, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

It's the same "battle". —JerryFriedman (Talk) 06:20, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't check and verify the sources but the article "Battle of Santa Fe" says the battle started on Aug. 15 while the article "Battle of Cañoncito" states that the battle took place on 8 August through 14 August. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 17:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Armijo prepared to resist the U.S. invasion starting on the 8th (or so) and placed his troops at Cañoncito in Apache Canyon to defend Santa Fe, but retreated on the 14th. On the 15th, Kearny and his troops entered Santa Fe unopposed. I'm suggesting that that should be one article, not two. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 18:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If there's a source supporting your story then sure... merge them together. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 17:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are in both articles. (I've only read the ones in Battle of Santa Fe.) —JerryFriedman (Talk) 02:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, fair enough. I'll proceed to the merge since no one has opposed so far. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 19:22, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! —JerryFriedman (Talk) 20:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lot of heresy for an article. Felt like I was on a tour group. Tell us again of the young contrarians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.24.208.169 (talk) 03:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
