I had already seen the page about US castles. But there most be a reason why an official mexican page says so. Maybe it has something else that makes it unique in America, but we could still say that it's the only castle in Latinamerica. Carlosr chill 21:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Not a castle at all. Check the Castle article, no castle could or can be built in the Americas as post-columbine America is by definition not in the Middle Ages. Only extemporaneous revivals with little functional or aesthetic original elements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.46.202.70 ( talk) 18:21, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
This article was located at Chapultepec Castle and moved a few days ago to Castle of Chapultepec, which is a more literal translation of its Spanish name. "Chapultepec Castle" is the more common name in English, as evidenced by Google. Per our policy on naming, we shoud prefer the most common usage in English for article titles, so I'm moving the article back to the previous title, following a request at Requested moves. - GTBacchus( talk) 06:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
There are a lot of grammatical and spelling errors on the page, and they really need to be fixed. 68.199.18.70 02:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
President Fox tried to make it the presidential residence again, but he didn't get his way. I mean, it IS kinda relevant, right??? And it's also funny, so it could cheer up someone's day if they were reading this just for a homework or something.-- Plavalagunanbanshee 21:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
The Marines did not capture Chapultepec castle. Winfield Scott marched on Mexico city with a force of between 12,000 and 13,000 men, which included one Battalion of Marines, 354 men. The Marine Battalion was assigned to A division commanded by General John A. Quiltman. General Quiltman’s division did not fight at Contreras, Churubusco, or El Molino del Rey, the battles preceding the assault on Chapultepec.
In the assault, of the Marine Battalion, one company actually got into Chapultepec castle. Most of the troops assaulting Chapultepec were Soldiers, not Marines. Soldiers, not Marines, did most of the fighting which captured Chapultepec. Most of the Marine Battalion supported Quiltman’s part of the assault with musket fire.
The capture of Chapultepec and the ensuing capture of Mexico City was primarily an Army accomplishment.

I thought the editors of this article might like to know that on December 5, 2009 this image (a 19th-century lithograph of the Military College) was the Featured Picture on the main page. The knock on effect was that this article got over 6,000 views. That's a lot of people who took a look, so well done. Nev1 ( talk) 02:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
As this article says it's the only "royal" castle that housed "sovereigns" — I just wonder, are there no surviving castles of the Aztec, the Inca or other advanced pre-contact civilizations? I ask just because I don't know. Or are Native Americans perhaps not qualified for being "royals" or "sovereigns"? -- Vesteinn ( talk) 11:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I find the bit about the renaming of Paseo de la Reforma confusing. I don't know if it really belongs in this article (it isn't mentioned in the article on the Paseo itself). It says that the name was changed after the end of the Reform War, but the Reform War, according to Wikipedia, ended in 1861, before the boulevard was even built by Maximilian. That doesn't mean the new name wasn't inspired by that war, but the way it is phrased suggests a different sequence of events to me - boulevard, war, name change, instead of war, boulevard, name change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.252.224 ( talk) 23:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
