Expand[edit]

This article needs to be expanded. Tlaxcala has a rich history and is of key importance to understanding the conquest of the Mexica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.193.168.70 (talk) 03:43, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Translators' network[edit]

There's also a multilingual translators' network called Tlaxcala. There are a number of (very well) translated texts online but they don't seem to have a website?!? Just an email addy: transtlaxcala@yahoo.com . If you know about them please start a new article, I think they're relevant.--84.188.135.254 02:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subordinate?[edit]

I don't think "subordinate" is the right word to use to describe the relationship between the Spaniards' God and the Tlaxcallans' gods. "Integrate" is probably the called-for word. But I can't be sure because I don't know enough about the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.109.56.162 (talk) 22:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would be good to know what exactly happened to the Tlaxcalans after the defeat of the aztecs. Were they treated preferably by the spanish after the war? Or did the spanish treat them as any other native? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.222.85 (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tlaxcalans after the conquest[edit]

Tlaxcalans were given special priveleges for being allied to the Spanish during the Conquest. They were allowed to have their own tribunals, to ride horses, to carry Spanish Arms and strangely enough to wear feathered hats.
Spaniards weren't allowed to purchase land in Tlaxcala, this caused the beginning of Puebla a short distance away. In the event of disputes messages would be sent to the King of Spain to settle them. This was long & time consuming. Priveleges went on for about a hundred years but were eroded awy by the time consuming settlements . Also Spaniards found loopholes in the law to get land by marrying natives. What the Tlaxcalans gained was lost over the decades.

Problems with sex trafficking section[edit]

I fixed what I could. While I am sure that this town is a source of prostitution and human trafficking, the information sources all seem to borrow or repeat one another. A lot of the articles (especially the Huffpo article) are lifting passages directly from the slide deck that was used as a cite. By the way, is a slide deck considered adequate as a cite? There is no indication of what the deck was for, although it is quite informative if a reliable source. A lot of this WP section just doesn't seem to be substantiated by the very sources it cites. Hell, the section even contradicted the top of the page by stating that the town of Tenancingo is the capital of the state, and the interWP link of the town went to the wrong town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.196.137.27 (talk) 04:48, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

sex trade as part of economy[edit]

Should this be in the article and if so, does it really merit its own section WP:UNDUE. It is a major economic element of one very small town of the state, not of the entire state.Thelmadatter (talk) 20:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mural depicting the Tlaxcala flag[edit]

The mural depicting the Tlaxcala flag (and many other important historical facts of Tlaxcala) was painted by "Desiderio Hernández Xochitiotizin" not by "Desiderio Xochitiotzin"; there is a page in Wikipedia about him:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderio_Hernández_Xochitiotzin

It would be a good idea to correct the name in the caption for the photograph of this mural and include the corresponding link to Desiderio Hernández Xochitiotzin. In addition, it should be remembered that the naming system in Mexico includes one or more given names and two family names, first the father's first family name and then the mother's first family names. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs), so that for the painter the first paternal surname is "Hernández" and "Xochitiotzin" is the first maternal surname (see also https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desiderio_Hernández_Xochitiotzin). Many English speakers forget this (or don't know it) and assume that the second word in the list is the middle name and tend to omit it. However, the paternal last name is the one that is kept in the following generation while the maternal last name is lost. We should also take into account the fact that in Spanish-speaking countries it is not unusual for newborns to be named with more than two given names (I had a friend whose full legal name is "José Luis Remedios Agustín Guevara Zamora"; it is formed by four given names, paternal and maternal surnames); this could be confusing to an English speaker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hajv01 (talk • contribs) 02:57, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox flag RFC[edit]

Should this article have a flag inside the infobox? There is a discussion about it at WikiProject Mexico, where you can join and discuss it. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 20:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
