To-do list for Mexico: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2020-10-02


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Begin shortening sections that are too long or contain too many details about particularities - moving excess material to subarticles
  • Begin improving sections on history and culture to give a more comprehensive view that doesn't dwell too long on particularities of certain musical genres or historical events

United Mexican States

The correct translation of Mexico's official name is "Mexican United States". "United Mexican States" would be "Estados Mexicanos Unidos". Is the current translation being used because people have always (mistakenly) used it and it's now convention? What's the dealie-o? --Lapilluminati (talk) 19:33, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Where my Wikipedians at? --Lapilluminati (talk) 16:53, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

This has been discussed extensively and repeatedly in the past, see for example Talk:Mexico/Archive 1#United Mexican States?,Talk:Mexico/Archive 3#United Mexican States -or- United States of Mexico?, Talk:Mexico/Archive 5#United Mexican States, Talk:Mexico/Archive 7#United Mexican States—correct translation?, Talk:Mexico/Archive 9#"Estados Unidos Mexicanos" does NOT translate to "United Mexican States". I think it is just one of those things that is going to keep being queried, no matter what translation is settled upn. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 17:21, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Oh. Okay. Thanks. --Lapilluminati (talk) 20:07, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Declaration of independence

Just to be clear, there are two major dates associated with Mexican independence. 16 September 1810, El Grito, which is generally considered the declaration. Since nobody knows what was actually said, you could claim that wasn't an official declaration. The other date (cited in the Spanish language Misplaced Pages) is 27 September 1821, when there was a government of the full nation which declared independence for itself. The 1813 date you are citing was the Congresso de Anahuac, which was one of many attempts to claim authority over the next decade. That particular date seems to be recognized as important by nobody. One of the references you point to is effectively a blog, the other seems to be an article written for the purpose of describing what that congress did, not in citing that date as the important event.

I would suggest that in the interest of preventing an edit war, settle on a consensus on the Spanish wikipedia first (since the references you are citing are in spanish, people on that Misplaced Pages are much more likely to be able to distinguish and accept WP:RS for your sources), and only when that has settled out do you change the English language WIkipedia.

By the way Azertopius, we have been here before. On 30 October 2014 and 20 November 2014. Each time this was reverted and requests were made to take it to talk, which doesn't appear to have happened. Regards, Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 04:23, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I just want to modify the following paragraph which is part of "Education section" (practically the last paragraph of the article).

X = The National Autonomous University of Mexico ranks 190th place in the Top 200 World University Ranking published by The Times Higher Education Supplement in 2009. Private business schools also stand out in international rankings. IPADE and EGADE, the business schools of Universidad Panamericana and of Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education respectively, were ranked in the top 10 in a survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal among recruiters outside the United States.

Y = The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) and The National Autonomous University of Mexico are the largest universities in Mexico. IPN plays an important roll in engineering and technology in Mexico. The National Autonomous University of Mexico ranks 190th place in the Top 200 World University Ranking published by The Times Higher Education Supplement in 2009. Private business schools also stand out in international rankings. IPADE and EGADE, the business schools of Universidad Panamericana and of Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education respectively, were ranked in the top 10 in a survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal among recruiters outside the United States. Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).[https://en.wikipedia.org/Instituto_Polit%C3%A9cnico_Nacional

Change X by Y

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. E C K S A E S  11:38, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

In the Timezone section of the info box, pls change "(UTC−8 to −6)" to "(UTC−8 to −5)" as Zona Sureste is UTC -05:00 all year round. Thx. 106.68.191.17 (talk) 04:01, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Done. Quintana Roo is on UTC-5 permanently since Feb 1, 2015. Update. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 05:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

IMHO the section on women's rights seems to have a slant.

While I am against discrimination of all sorts, I also am a "strict" proponent of NPOV. Can someone please unbias it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.185.230 (talk) 22:01, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
