On 8 September 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved from Alamo Mission in San Antonio to Alamo Mission. The result of the discussion was moved. |
There are now two images in the Modern use section; in a section this small it creates text sandwiching, which is against the MOS. I don't particularly like either one, and would be willing to remove both. The museum hours image is really not that useful. The new image, which shows the small size of the building, is, in my opinion, unnecessary because it essentially duplicates the image in the infobox. Unlike the image in the infobox, though, the new image is cluttered with people and umbrellas, distracting from the building (and it's a more depressing time of year). I would prefer to remove both of these. Thoughts? Karanacs ( talk) 14:49, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Alamo pano.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 6, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-03-06. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 21:08, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Could anybody add the mention of the Alamo in the popular Arcade America PC Game?
Thanks.
I've tweaked the lead a bit and re-jigged the structure somewhat as the section originally headed History seemed to be an overview, and the detailed history followed (but under the same header levels). Also found several paragraphs/statements that were not cited (I did not request citations for the section I've now headed Overview since it seemed to be an introduction to the material that followed, which was largely cited, though admittedly I haven't checked that thoroughly).

I visited the Alamo in 1956 with my parents. It is an experience I will never forget as long as I live.My wife and I have visited at other times over the years, individually and together with our children. My wife & I ,of 48 years visited last Monday, November 2,2015.It was a good visit, quite different, but ok! I feel the old memories will stay in my mind more so than the most recent visit. I realize one cannot stop progress and updates. The mood of the mission did not seem the same.The whole compound is sacred to me. So many people from so many different states and countries died for the Republic of Texas to survive. I respect that each one is mentioned in some way. That is awesome. To have the gift shop present items from predominantly CHINA,,, IS A DISGRACE to the memory of the fallen heroes of the Battle at the Alamo. My opinion,and mine only. REMEMBER THE ALAMO

Since the Alamo is now part of a World Heritage Site, the infobox should probably be changed from {{ infobox nrhp}} to {{ infobox historic site}}. The problem with infobox nrhp is that it cannot list the international World Heritage Site designation first, and thus makes it appear "less important" than the US designations. For examples of how infobox historic site would work, see Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall. Zzyzx11 ( talk) 08:32, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not a Spanish speaker, but I have been told that in Spanish, the penultimate vowel is given emphasis. So that would make it "alarm-oh" or something, with the English version being something like "alum-oh".
There must be Spanish speakers living there. How do they pronounce it?

The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 17:13, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Alamo Mission in San Antonio → Alamo Mission – Per WP:Common Name. The Alamo is not regularly referred to as "Alamo Mission in San Antonio" and there are not other articles for Alamo Missions in other cities (that would warrant the target Alamo Mission (San Antonio), anyway). Ultimately, I do not think there is any good reason to not move the article. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 16:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
