Hello just created this page for an Ancient Maya project at the University of Kansas. If i could get some help setting up a link between this and the Maya Society subheading Maya Warfare that would be great. Also if anyone knows how to incorporate this into the Wikiproject Mesoamerica that would be useful also Cuauhtemoc07 ( talk) 01:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
This page calls them geographical areas. This page calls them town chiefs ("mayors"). This page calls them military officers. Which is it...? TREKphiler hit me ♠ 10:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Given the current circumstances; I'm going to be bold and suggest that this material should be approved through consensus arrived at by other editors before being added to the article itself; please do not re-add until discussion occurs. Also, I'd like to request that InternetHero provide a direct quote from this source; (Ambivalent Conquests: Maya and Spaniard in Yucatán, 1517-1570. pg 28) before re-adding to substantiate what's being stated here:
"The colonization efforts by settler-conquistadors were largely diplomatic since the only real available resources were cotton, fine ceramics, jade, cocoa beans, and the salt-pans of the northern coast.The dour audacity expected from this Spanish campaign was prevented by the terrain of the Yucatán which denied the normal heroism displayed from adelantados and their men."

Cheers? Aha thats why. [1]. You'll never defeate some1 whos pretecting thermselves and the land. InternetHero ( talk) 21:48, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
There are also elements not supported by the source (eg "largely diplomatic" efforts does not stand up).
The whole thing could be expressed much more simply without the laden tone—Montejo's conquistador forces found the Yucatan hard going through a combination of the terrain and people's resistance, made all the more trying (from the spanish POV) by the region's lack of the types of resources/riches the spanish were most interested in.
But in any case this article's main thrust and natural focus is on pre-Columbian Maya warfare, not Maya-Spanish resistance & warfare. I feel that there are other articles better suited than this one to cover these aspects. I don't think it belongs here, and certainly not in its present form. -- cjllw ʘ TALK 02:54, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
