The Taos Indian Tomás' surname in this article is listed as "Romero", but in the Siege of Pueblo de Taos article, it is listed as Baca. All my sources refer to him only as either Tomás or Tomasito (Spanish diminutive for Tomás, akin to the English "Tommy"), and give no surname. I am assuming that Tomás Baca and Tomás Romero are one and the same person, given the detail about Tomas Baca's death in the Siege of Pueblo de Taos article. What are the sources for the surnames Baca/Romero as pertain to Tomás/Tomasito?
garrard's book says "big nigger" died at Taos in the church, Ruxton book said he escaped to kansas
which was it?
A very nice start, this article just needs overall expansion. All the sections seem quite short, but the introduction in particular needs help - it should tell the average reader the basics of all he needs to know, just in the intro. Also needs a military conflict infobox and/or a picture. That top right-hand section looks empty as is. LordAmeth 11:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone mind if I change "Massacres" to "revolt"? this is the title of the article and possibly less POV. Musaabdulrashid 23:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Can we ascertain correct dates? I'm not sure to what events the date October 30, 1847 corresponds. This is certainly outside of the timeline.
I added some info on the fight, and the survivors, as well as a couple of references. Two of them are web articles, the Albert one citing an excellent list of references. The Tobin web article may not meet RS, but it's good info, confirmed by a book on Tobin I am also adding to the ref list, along with a Denver Post review of the book, which gives a good snynopsis.

I deleted the terrorism infoboxes below the separately listed "Massacres". This is inaccurate - the uprising took place during war by forces who had been attacked by US military; these were not terrorist activities. I agree the title of the article is better as "Taos Revolt". Parkwells ( talk) 16:42, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

The following source is a novel:^ Durand, John, ‘’The Taos Massacres’’, Puzzlebox Press, Elkhorn, WI 2004, p. 266. Because it is a work of fiction I do not feel that it is proper to use it as a source. Gordontaos ( talk) 04:54, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
I am adding two sources that are pretty good. The first, Tragedy at Taos, does a fair job of setting the stage. The second, Taos 1847, is primarily transcripts of source materials not included in the other sources listed here. Both, unfortunately, tell the story completely from the Anglo viewpoint.
