[edit] Two cities or a typo?
The reference to Quetzaltango instead of QuetzalTENango is a typo or they are two distinct cities? --Luka(Tell me more!) 07:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
It is a typo. There is no such place. Fixed! 208.97.107.51 16:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Juan
[edit] State grid
Dear Readers,
Not only is it formal to have a state explanation with a grid with flag, government, etc., but an explanation of the flag without a photo or svg file is aggravating.
Sincerely,

- An free licenced image of the flag would be very welcome. -- Infrogmation 23:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
There is a flag on the Dutch page and commons, shown at right, said to be the flag, but it doesn't match the description. Is it an earlier flag? Rigadoun (talk) 18:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

- I think that the basic flag may be correct, and that it had a shield superimposed on it with the pictures described in the text, rather like Guatemala has a striped flag with rifles, a quetzal bird and motto superimposed. Judge Nutmeg 03:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Claimed territorial gains of Mexico after the Collapse of the Republic of Los Altos
I think this article was originally translated from the Spanish version. But can anybody provide references to the second sentence in the following extract: "The region is still distinctive today, and Los Altos is still a nickname for the region of Guatemala around Quetzaltenango. Similarly, the Mexican portion of the former state is known as Los Altos de Chiapas." i.e., that Los Altos de Chiapas was ever part of the Republic of Los Altos? I can't find any backing to this stmt. Los Altos de Chiapas is pretty much dead centre in the heart of Chiapas, and I don;t think it was gained by Mexico during this era. I think the only commonality is the meaning of "the Highlands". Here is what I can find out:
1824 during plebicites, Chiapas votes to remain with Mexico. Suconusco chooses to remains with an independent GT
1838-1840 Los Altos separates from GT, before being forceably reincoporated. Soconusco remains a separate entity from Los Altos.
1842 Suconusco joins Mexico after invasion from Oaxaca, and remerges with Chiapas.
Did Mexico gain any territory other than Soconusco after the collapse of the Republic of Los Altos?Judge Nutmeg 02:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Title
I have undone a move of the article from "Los Altos, Central America" to "Los Altos (country)". The move was unexplained and undiscussed. Additionally, "(country)" seems a questionable designation, as declared independence outside of Central America was very short lived, and as far as I know Los Altos was never internationally recognized as a seperate country. If the title of this article is considered problematic or there are thoughts on better titles, please discuss here before moving article -- Infrogmation (talk) 13:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
