I feel that this piece does not have alot of information on this beatiful city I call home.It also has "some" wrong information, for instance the curent major is Richard Lucero and the fiestas are in mid July not in the the fall. If theres gonna be a page on Espanola then it should have the correct information. >=[ User:Dirtyhalfblood

I forgot to log in, but I live in "Spaña", and I know people spell it with an eñe, so I put two in. JerryFriedman

Does that mean it should be moved to Española, New Mexico? –Hajor 02:14, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This article makes very poor claims to the "cause" of poverty, crime, and racism, as well as the "dependence" of the habitants of Espanola. There is no absolute truth to these claims nor vertification of such citing. There is also an absence of the effects and responsibility of the Santa Fe "artist" and Los Alamos scientist that contributes to a negative peception of Espanola. The effect is that of disparity and gentrification.

How can an article on Espanola not mention lowriders?

[edit] Political corruption

Being from the area, I can well believe that there is serious political corruption in Espanola. However, this needs to be documented from a verifiable source. 128.165.87.144 22:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Largest community of ethnically diverse Sikhs in the world?

A statement such as this definitely requires a verifiable source, otherwise it should be removed. Rodan44 07:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

the name sounds similar to the Spanish word for Spanish español Atomic1fire 04:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

This is not the official spelling of the city name--mrg3105 (comms) If you're not taking any flak, you're not over the target. 00:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
