Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 March 2024

Add the following, "A base, entitled 'Forward Operating Eagle', has begun being constructed at Eagle Pass, and can house up to 2,300 soldiers."
This has been covered in the news, and has warranted a Forbes article. See: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/02/16/texas-building-military-base-camp-at-eagle-pass-amid-showdown-with-border-patrol/?sh=59e15dab1a71 Kingofmapps (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done, with your wording and I made the link a source.
- IMO this article no longer merits EC protection, as the physical standoff is over and mainly involves ongoing litigation. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 15:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

End date?
[edit]It seems to me that the end date is a bit inaccurate. While I agree with some other comments of the talk page about it having "fizzled out", it was still ongoing well into January and is atleast technically still ongoing.
Here are some reports from Febuary and one from March: https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/eye-on-politics-bipartisan-border-bill-fails-as-standoff-in-eagle-pass-continues/ https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/standoff-eagle-pass https://www.newsweek.com/texas-military-razor-wire-migrant-crisis-greg-abbott-1878647
I would show the date as either 11th of Jan-present for now and then, until it either ends or a proper date for it having "fizzled out" is chosen, switching it for said date. The current set date of the 29th is not really accurate as far as I understand. Iska-Germany (talk) 22:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good, I'll make a change regarding this. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 15:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
The extended confirmation protection has been lowered to semi-protection.
[edit]I convinced the administrator to lower the protection, as this page has become much less controversial and heavily edited. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 02:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Merge proposal
[edit]I'd propose that we merge this article with Operation Lone Star, as now that the news has died down the long-term significance of this 'standoff' has turned out to be questionable. See also WP:PERSISTENCE. Ed [talk] [OMT] 01:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- The ed17 I agree. This incident was fleeting. I might go further to suggest the article was created on spec that it would become a big shootout with the feds. soibangla (talk) 07:24, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Support. This didn't really accelerate into anything major. I haven't heard any news of it for the past few months. Benpiano800 (talk) 02:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support because this incident hasn't had any significant updates, both for the standoff and in the legal process. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 17:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait: We should wait till November to see who wins. That would definitely continue or end the conflict. LuxembourgLover (talk) 18:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- I went ahead and merged this due to the wide support above. If something more happens, we can always revert the redirect. Ed [talk] [OMT] 03:18, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
