Reason for oven picture?

The article shows an image of plants in an oven yet makes no mention of using the oven in production. 192.25.142.225 (talk) 00:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC) Joe S.

Likely/definite vandalism

Reflist vandalism

Someone has edited one of the links to contain "General Lee hates sp***" This may or may not be the case, but it doesn't belong here. Not sure how to edit this section, can somebody show me? Notapotato (talk) 07:21, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I removed this racist vandalism. What a world of idiots we live in... Teebol (talk) 21:10, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Garrett

In the glasses section it states "Garrett hates this." without any reference or mentioning Garrett anywhere else. Who is Garrett, and why is there no reference 84.84.94.70 (talk) 21:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Revision of good faith edits

Cuervo advertising

I removed "The first tequila was made by Jose María Guadalupe de Cuervo in 1795." from history because 1) it is not true (Tequila was first distilled by the early colonizers) and 2) this smells like an ad. Correct me if I'm wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teebol (talk • contribs) 20:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC) Tequila was actually named for the town, not vice versa. Native Americans have been drinking the fermented extract of the Blue Agave for over 2,000 years.

Two Uncited Facts

Hi, I've removed two facts from the production section of the page because I couldn't find strong citations for them. The first one

This distinction has diminished recently since the agave shortage that arose in 1999-2000, when many of the larger, lowland producers began relying on agave from both areas to produce their tequila.

seems like it may be possible in some cases, but the clearest source I could find for it was just this discussion on a forum. I couldn't find any sources for the second one

Most highland agaves are raised on west-facing slopes, allowing them to receive more sunlight throughout the day and grow larger and juicier.

and I'm not sure if it makes sense. If anything, wouldn't the south-facing slope be the one that receives the most sunlight (as Mexico's still in the Northern hemisphere)? And a rain shadow argument doesn't make sense because Jalisco is on the West coast, so the eastern side of any mountain range would probably have less cloud cover.
I could be wrong though, and if anyone finds a good source, we should definitely put them back in. Zar2gar1 (talk) 22:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

tequila and 'the war against drugs'

tequila is a drug from mexico. why is it legal? is the mexican military chasing agave growers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.122.94 (talk) 23:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

error

There seems to be an error in one of the dates.

'Some 80 years later, around 1600, Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle, the Marquis of Altamira, began mass-producing tequila at the first factory in the territory of modern-day Jalisco.'

However when crossed referenced to the Don pedro link it states he lived from 1661-1723. Does not add up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.142.87.115 (talk) 05:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

'quality' comments in article

it is subjective to say that one tequila is 'better quality' than another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.108.8 (talk) 08:29, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Global warming and quality

A single interview of a single individual does not qualify as a reliable source for the assertion that global warming is affecting the quality of tequila or the agave starting material. The proposition that the warming observed over the time frame of the single commentator's experience -- about 0.2°C -- is responsible for large changes in the maturation rate of agave is scientifically unfounded and dubious. 97.91.254.54 (talk) 06:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

You're correct. That's why I deleted it. 202.49.183.1 (talk) 09:49, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
