The Minuteman project
I believe that this article (The Minuteman project) has a bunch of issues. Someone considered merging it with the Minuteman Project, which is a different page. (Also, note "The Minuteman Project" with a capital P redirecits to Minuteman Project),

 * As some of you know, and as you can see on Minuteman Project, it was a group of American citizens that began in 2005 opposing illegal immigration
 * The article at The Minuteman project starts talking about a "Minuteman Project" as a group of "American farmers" opposing illegall immigration.
 * It says that "The group became infamous during 2000, as The Neighborhood Watch Ranch". When I searched "Neighborhood Watch Ranch" in Google, I found no results outside of Wikipedia/related articles.
 * I could not verify any of the other information about the alleged illegal activities of such a group.
 * The article then jumps to the 2005 T-Shirt incident. This seems to be talking about the recently created "Minuteman Project" as written in Minuteman Project.
 * The reference link at the bottom of the page only talks about the Minuteman Project in 2005, it makes no mention whatsoever of a 2000 group called "The Neighborhood Watch Ranch" or any similar activities.
 * The article is laden with extreme POV and unsourced accusations.
 * In conclusion, I think that most of the The Minuteman project page is a complete fabrication made up to slander the Minuteman Project. The 2005 t-shirt incident is the only information with sources to back it up, and it's already covered in Minuteman Project
 * The Minuteman project should not be merged with Minuteman Project as requested by a user.

--Ar57 00:02, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Appears to be either a POV fork or an accidental duplication. Either way, the claims made aren't referenced, and I can't find anything on Google, either. The Minuteman Project presents a good POV description of this group, AFAICT. If there's any verifiable, useful info in this article (which I doubt), merge it into The Minuteman Project; otherwise, Delete . android  79  00:53, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Err, yeah, I meant Redirect. Really, I did. (Although delete-and-recreate-as-redirect wouldn't be a bad idea, either.) android  79  01:29, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Minuteman Project, appears to be a dupe. —PrologFan {Talk} 01:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the above page, since it is a duplication. Plus, these guys and other protesters are in my area now, so I heard a lot of what they want to do and what they have done so far. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Not sure why this needed a VfD. Pburka 01:29, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, pretty clearly. -Splash 01:42, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Emma de Guader, Countess of Norfolk

Emma Fitz-Osborn or Emma de Breteuil, and later Emma de Guader (died after 1096), was a Norman noblewoman, the wife of Ralph de Guader and the daughter of William FitzOsbern, Lord of Breteuil and later first Earl of Hereford of a new creation, who was a cousin and close adviser of William the Conqueror. William's opposition to their marriage led to the unsuccessful Revolt of the Earls.

Life
Emma was first named Emma de Breteuil, born to William Fitz-Osbern and his wife Adeliza, the daughter of Roger I of Tosny and his wife Adelaide (the daughter of Ermesinde of Carcassonne, regent-countess of Barcelona). She was born in or around 1059 in Breteuil in Normandy.

Marriage
At Exning in Cambridge, at 1075 Emma married Ralph de Gael the earl of East Anglia, after his father. King William I is believed to have opposed the match. Some writers believe that William's opposition was possibly due to the fact that uniting two huge estates and royal lines could be perceived as a threat, noting that he had previously poisoned relatives that stood in his way to the throne.

Defence of Norwich Castle
At the "brides ale" or wedding feast, Emma's brother and husband planned a rebellion against William the Conqueror but were betrayed. Her brother was captured and then imprisoned for many years by William but her husband escaped to Denmark to raise help. Others who had supported the rebellion were subjected to violence. Emma stayed to defend Norwich Castle which was besieged by William. Despite the odds against her, and those at the castle, she bravely refused to give in to the king's men. She organised the defense of the town for so long that William eventually had to compromise with her to restore peace. Part of the settlement included a safe passage for herself and her troops in exchange for her castle. The Countess left for Brittany, where she was joined by her husband.

Life in Brittany
Emma went to live in Brittany with her husband, at their vast inherited estates, including the castles of Wader and Montfort. They had at least three children, and her son Raoul II inherited their estates.

Crusades
Emma was an active participant in the First Crusade, which she joined in 1096 along with her husband and her son Alan; they served under Robert Curthose. Emma died some time after 1096 on the road to the Holy Land.

Emma's granddaughter Amice, the daughter of her son Raoul II, married Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester.

Municipalities of Mexico

Municipalities (municipios in Spanish) are the second-level administrative divisions of Mexico, where the first-level administrative division is the state (estado). They should not be confused with cities or towns that may share the same name as they are distinct entities and do not share geographical boundaries. As of March 2024, there are 2,476 municipalities in Mexico, excluding the 16 boroughs of Mexico City.

Since the 2015 Intercensal Survey, two municipalities have been created in Campeche, three in Chiapas, three in Morelos, one in Quintana Roo and two in Baja California.

The internal political organization and their responsibilities are outlined in the 115th article of the 1917 Constitution and detailed in the constitutions of the states to which they belong. are distinct from, a form of Mexican locality, and are divided into colonias (neighborhoods); some municipalities can be as large as full states, while cities can be measured in basic geostatistical areas or city blocks.

Structure
All Mexican states are divided into municipalities. Each municipality is autonomous; citizens elect a "municipal president" (presidente municipal) who heads a municipal council (ayuntamiento), responsible for providing all the public services for their constituents. This concept, which originated after the Mexican Revolution, is known as a municipio libre ("free municipality").

The municipal president is elected by plurality and cannot be reelected for the next immediate term. The municipal council consists of a cabildo (chairman) with a síndico and several regidores (trustees).

If the municipality covers a large area and contains more than one city or town (collectively called localidades), one city or town is selected as a cabecera municipal (head city, seat of the municipal government) while the rest elect representatives to a presidencia auxiliar or junta auxiliar (auxiliary presidency or council). In that sense, a municipality in Mexico is roughly equivalent to the counties of the United States, whereas the auxiliary presidency is equivalent to a township. Nonetheless, auxiliary presidencies are not considered a third-level administrative division since they depend fiscally on the municipalities in which they are located.

North-western and south-eastern states are divided into small numbers of large municipalities (e.g. Baja California is divided into only seven municipalities), and therefore they cover large areas incorporating several separated cities or towns that do not necessarily conform to one single conurbation. Central and southern states, on the other hand, are divided into many small municipalities (e.g. Oaxaca is divided into 570 municipalities), and therefore large urban areas usually extend over several municipalities which form one single conurbation. Although an urban area might cover an entire municipality, auxiliary councils might still be used for administrative purposes.

Municipalities are responsible for public services (such as water and sewerage), street lighting, public safety, traffic, supervision of slaughterhouses and the cleaning and maintenance of public parks, gardens and cemeteries. They may also assist the state and federal governments in education, emergency fire and medical services, environmental protection and maintenance of monuments and historical landmarks. Since 1983, they can collect property taxes and user fees, although more funds are obtained from the state and federal governments than from their own collection efforts.

Some municipalities in Mexico are subdivided into internal, third-level administrative organizations. All municipalities of Baja California are subdivided into boroughs, or delegaciones. Mexicali municipality, for example, is divided into 14 boroughs besides the City of Mexicali, which comprises the municipal seat and three additional metropolitan boroughs. Querétaro municipality is subdivided into seven boroughs. Nonetheless, the heads of government of the boroughs are not elected by the residents but rather appointed by the municipal president.

Mexico City is a special case in that it is not organized into municipalities. As a result of the Political Reforms enacted in 2016, it is no longer designated as a Federal District and became a city, a member entity of the Mexican federation, seat of the Powers of the Union and the capital of Mexico. Mexico City is divided in 16 boroughs, officially called demarcaciones territoriales, substituting the old delegaciones. The boroughs are considered as third-level territorial divisions for statistical data collection and cross-country comparisons.

History
Since the Conquest and colonization of Mexico, the municipality became the basic entity of the administrative organization of New Spain and the Spanish Empire. Settlements located in strategic locations received the status of ciudad (the highest status within the Empire, superior to that of villas and pueblos) and were entitled to form an ayuntamiento or municipality. During the first decades, the local authorities had full powers on the public and economic administration of each municipality, but successive reforms diminished their attributions.

After Independence, the 1824 Constitution did not specify any regulation for the municipalities, whose structure and responsibilities were to be outlined in the constitution of each state of the federation. As such, every state set its own requirements for a settlement to become a municipality (usually based on population).

The Constitution of 1917 abolished the jefatura política ("political authority"), the intermediate administrative authority between the states and converted all existing municipalities into municipios libres ("free municipalities"), that is, gave them full autonomy to manage local affairs, while at the same time restricting the scope of their competencies. However, in 1983 the 115th article was modified to expand the municipalities' authority to raise revenue (through property taxes and other local services) and to formulate budgets.

The first city council in Mexico was established by Hernán Cortés in 1519 in Veracruz; it was also the first in the American mainland. The newest municipalities in Mexico are San Quintín in Baja California, established on February 27, 2020; Seybaplaya and Dzitbalché in Campeche, gazetted on January 1, 2021; Las Vigas, Ñuu Savi, San Nicolás, and Santa Cruz del Rincón in Guerrero, incorporated on August 31, 2021; and San Felipe in Baja California, incorporated on January 1, 2022.
