This article needs to be expanded. For one there are many references that can be added. For books there is:


United We Win: The Rise and Fall of LA Raza Unida Party by Ignacio M. Garcia

La Raza Unida Party: A Chicano Challenge to the U.S. Two-Party Dictatorship by Armando Navarro

Chicano politics: La Raza Unida by Richard Santillan

El Partido de la Raza Unida in Crystal City: A peaceful revolution by Armando Navarro

The history of La Raza Unida is very important to understanding the Chicano Movement. There needs to be more in this, as many people come to wikipedia for first research—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjchavez78 (talkcontribs)

Those books should only be listed as references if they are used to provide information for the article.--Rockero 04:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


La Raza, Mexican 'Terrorist Organization?'

edit

Since there are over 100 websites claiming La Raza 'is a terrorist organization', something should be said to this effect. It should be updated if changes occur. The link cited below illustrates this point. On 10/23/2016 www.officialwire.com was not online. The Raza Unida Party no longer exists and was never a terrorist organization.

For example: http://www.officialwire.com/main.php?action=posted_news&rid=12710&catid=10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomsmith9999 (talkcontribs) 18:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Do you have any sources that pass WP:RS? Official Wire is "a global leader in press release distribution", and organisations which simply reproduce press releases aren't considered reliable sources. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:39, 28 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
the cited blog only says "Much has been in the news recently about La Raza, what a military intelligence acquaintance recently dubbed "a mestizo terrorist organization." -- The author is not an American and her anonymous acquaintance is not a RS. Rjensen (talk) 00:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Opening sentence

edit

Improve the opening sentence however you like, but keep it grammatically complete and accurately sourced. Edits over the past two years failed to do so. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 06:52, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for fixing that! Pianostar9 (talk) 19:10, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Someone keeps adding "supremacist group" without citations

edit

I noted that someone had removed "supremacist" 02:24, 24 September 2019‎. But the term has reappeared. I'm not a Wiki pro so not sure how to handle this. Advice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muserna Muserna (talkcontribs)

@Muserna Muserna: "brown supremacist" and "brown supremacist group" not only don't have their own articles (and thus are non-notable concepts by Wikipedia terminology) a Google Ngram Viewer search shows no hits at all in written sources between the years 1500 and 2019, a Google Trends search errors out for lack of data, and I only see a handful of general search hits, including strangely a few in Finnish.
So unless it becomes a real thing in the future, you can definitely just delete uncited claims about this term from any article you encounter them in. WP:LABEL is a specific guideline you can cite if it's being applied, unsourced, to a person or organization. I've reverted this article to its state before the change was made. --‿Ꞅtruthious 𝔹andersnatch ͡ |℡| 03:40, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
