[edit] Cristo de las Noas and Mauro Camoranessi inaccuracy
The statue of Cristo de las Noas is not the 3rd largest of Latin America, it is the 5th as it is documented by wikipedia itself. Claims that it is the 3rd largest of Latin America or the World are based on popular belief and local pride, not fact.
Mauro Camoranessi was not and is not a notable player for Santos Laguna, he happened to be part of the team at the beginning of his career, but his participation with Santos was not pointed out by anyone until he was successful with Juventus in Italy and became a world football star. It is inaccuarte to say he was an important part of the team, instead, it should be said that he simply was in the team at some point of his career.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:100 Años Torreon.jpg
Image:100 Años Torreon.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Expansion
In the revision as of 21:16, 12 October 2007 Jrocon added a request for expansion using the Expand template. In the 27 edits since then there has been essentially no progress except the salutary addition of a Notes field. If Jrocon or other editors could indicate what areas might fruitfully be explored, perhaps the next 27 edits could be more productive. Perhaps we could start with a History section? If someone could find a copy of Nueva historia de Torreón by Francisco José Amparán (Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, 1993.), it contains a series of essays by various authors on the history from colonial times up to 1990, although the major focus is on post 1910. There are also Historia de Torreón by Manuel Terán Lira (Editorial Macondo, 1989), Historia de Torreón by Eduardo Guerra (Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila, 1984), Torreón, ciudad centenaria: antecedentes, fundación y desarrollo (Editorial La Opinión, 2006) and Los hijos de la tierra: antología del cronista lagunero by Jacinto Faya Martínez (Universidad Iberoamericana, Plantel Laguna : Editorial del Norte Mexicano, 1998). --Bejnar (talk) 18:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] History
In 1883 was classified as a rancheria (a collection of ranches), but with the coming of the railroad it expanded greatly and by 1910 was a city with a population of 43,000. A Century of Chicano History: Empire, Nations, and Migration by Gilbert G. Gonzalez, p. 11
"On 14-15 May 1911, Torreón was the site of one of the bloodiest massacres in the history of the revolution when forces loyal to Madero occupied the city." --Bejnar (talk) 18:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
