From a cursory inspection of the "Texas Ranger Division" article, I can't see what the hell you're talking about. It seems legit to me. Basic facts about Texas and the Texas Rangers. Link pls.

The yellow journalism piece about diablos tejanos is still in but having reread the article, the whole thing seems closer to the real nature of the Texas Rangers.

I even found one story concerning Presidio County in the article that even I didn't know. Ranger stories of the early 20th century have also been cleaned up.

I've been proven wrong here. Maybe wikipedia can actually work...

Hey, maybe you could correct the "diablos tejanos" part. Or at least add "The neutrality of this section is disputed".

I've tried but it keeps getting added back in. Just reading one book about the war from the Mexican perspective would add doubt to the story. Why would you revere an enemy who's job it was to terrorize local villagers and loot their churches, in the hopes of rooting out guerilla fighters? It was most likely a pejorative term. That's another assumption. See why it's better if the whole section was just deleted?
