- I made the map larger and dropped the image of a coach in Spain. The article is only about latinos in the US.RJJensen 21:31, 21 September 2008 (EDT)
- please stop messing with the article. The opening sentence is full of little errors and the picture is all wrong and should be erased. I clarified the definition to make it clear this "Latino" is an English language word and in English it refers to Hispanics living in the U.S. RJJensen 21:42, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

- I provided a very good source: Gutiérrez, ed. The Columbia History of Latinos in the U.S." (2005) pp 1-2 those pages are online at Amazon.com. How is "Latino" actually used in Spain these days? RJJensen 22:11, 21 September 2008 (EDT)
