A fact from Modesta Ávila appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 September 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Modesta Avila(pictured) was the first convicted felon and first state prisoner from Orange County, California?
"Her lawyer, George Hayford, himself of dubious standing". The source provided does not mention his name, but says that he was inexperienced and "probably crooked".
Direct quote added.
Are Ricardo Sánchez, Fred Gómez Carrasco, and Alvaro Luna Hernandez notable enough to have their own articles in the future?
Definitely. I had already blue linked a number. I'll try to blue those too. The judge though, nothing on him, will de link.
Is sanjuancapistrano.net" a notable enough source? Can we replace this with a better one?

The article states that "Avila was upset by the construction of the Santa Fe Railroad through her family's land", but then goes on to say that "Max Mendelson, the Southern Pacific's agent in San Juan Capistrano" said he had removed obstructions. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe were (and are) different railroads, and it is rather hard to believe that the employees of one railroad would do work for a rival. Which is it? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:53, 5 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
