Mexican ironwood carvings
[edit]
- ... that Mexican ironwood carvings (example pictured) are believed to be a danger to the conversion of deserts into fertile land?
- ALT1 ... that the Mexican ironwood carving industry (example pictured) brings in about a million dollars a year?
- ALT2 ... that Mexican ironwood carvings (example pictured) didn't become popular in other countries until University of Arizona students began buying them in the late 1960s?

very nice topic, and good article. I took the liberty of some edits, including breaking some large paragraphs up. I don't care for the first hook because it says the trees are endangering the conversion while the article says that the conversion is endangering the trees. I think there needs to be some agreement in the way it is worded. Also the citations are not in numerical order. 2 comes before 1 in serveral places.--Ishtar456 (talk) 22:45, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
- I changed the citation order. I vote for ALT2 (partly because Im a U of A alum)Thelmadatter (talk) 01:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- There needs to be a citation immediately following the hook fact in the article.--Ishtar456 (talk) 06:49, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
