I just changed "that was the last time" to "that was the most recent time". "Last" generally has the implication that no further modifications will ever happen, whereas "most recent" and "latest" do not preclude the possibility. Does anyone think it's inappropriate? Or was it too much of a grammatical detail to bother with? samwaltz 16:26, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't agree with this new grammatical change. I read the sentence and wondered, "As of sometime, that was the most recent time. Is it still the most recent time? What is the date of that statement?" Mrendo 13:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Location

I believe that this should go back to Rio Rico, Texas. This was moved to plain Rio Rico. The article is written in the past tense, and that Rio Rico, Texas does not now exist doesn't remove the fact that it used to exist. It would be analagous to redirecting an article about New Mexico Territory to New Mexico (state), with the justification that it shouldn't have its own article because it no longer exists. Furthermore, the wording in its present form would lead one to believe that Rio Rico as a city might not now exist anywhere, when in fact it is a small part of present Rio Rico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. However, as most of Rio Rico, Tamaulipas was never a part of Rio Rico, Texas, a wholesale redirect to that location would be wrong, too.

Furthermore there are many places in the world named Rio Rico, and so plain Rio Rico is too ambiguous. Dr U 07:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
