I reverted your change to the Mexico infobox, since the source you used was considerably less detailed than the one you replaced. In addition, for describing an ethnic group within Mexico, "Mexican" is probably the wrong term. Regards, Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Official sources are surely preferred over other sources, when and only when they offer comparable detail. The source you provided offered essentially no detail - it was a straight poll "do you think you are indigenous", broken down by state and gender. It doesn't offer the information of ethnic statistics provided by Britannica - and thus cannot replace them. The fact that a government says something vaguely related doesn't mean that such statement replaces all other statements. It only means that if two sources offer the same information, the government source should generally take precedence. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 04:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Precision isn't the issue here, it's detail. The Mexican poll you quote does not offer ethnic groupings - it's a self-identification of *ONE* cultural group (not ethnic, which is the box you replaced), entirely ignoring everything else. As for the name, by saying that some percentage are "Mexican", you are claiming that those of indigenous origin are not Mexican. That's absurd. If you want to further discuss this with a wider audience, use the Talk:Mexico page. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 04:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
A simple question regarding this edit: [1]. Have you read the entire paper you cite, or just the abstract? AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! Alon12 (talk) 21:43, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mexicans of European descent. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
Stop edit-warring and discuss on the talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:55, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Alon12 (talk) 22:08, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
What personal attack? Aergas (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Mexicans of European descent shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Alon12 (talk) 14:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Please see my suggestion that both of you be blocked unless you accept a voluntary ban from this topic. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 07:25, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~))
. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
Per this decision at WP:AN3. You have engaged in long-term edit warring and failed to make effective use of dispute resolution. In my closure I accepted some advice from User:Robert McClenon. He is familiar with the dispute since he was the volunteer who handled the DRN case. Any admin can lift this block if you will agree to a voluntary ban from the topic of Mexicans of European descent on all pages of Wikipedia, including talk. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:15, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:
The reason for the blocking was stated to be "edit warring" but if anyone look at the history of the article [3] or check my edits on it two things are seen: that I haven't been close to violate any guideline concerning reverts (in fact, when the user Alon12 filled the report accusing me of edit warring in the respective noticeboard I have reverted only two times, in a gap of ten hours) and that a big part of my edits since this issue started have been destined to incorporate the material that has been proposed in the talk page, the article, as it was when this issue started [4] and as it is now [5] have notable differences, the discussion on this affair has been rough and exhaustive, but I've tried my best to sort this out and I've been the only party on this discussion that has been open to discuss changes and has performed said changes after reaching agreements, my goal is to acheive a version of the article on which all views are equally represented, I think it's unfair that I am accused of "not listening" when I'm the only party that has been opened to discussion and has accepted and performed requested changes. The discussion, slowly, has been progressing and looks like is about to end, that's why I don't understand that this kind of actions are taken now. I would like to be unblocked to take part of the final steps, because my input is still required in a pair of places to give a complete scope of the actual situation. I've never had any problem with listening other editors or administrators, my edit history shows that and if it seemed like that lately, I would have liked to have an editor or an administrator to let me know instead of taking this measures out of the blue, the only person that has made comments on my talk page regarding this issue has been Alon12 (who is blocked right now), but it were notices about him opening cases in multiple noticeboards. Additionally there is considerable evidence of sockpuppetry involved on this affair, I filled a case for a sockpuppet investigation (it can be seen here [6]), but hasn't received attention by an administrator or a clerk yet, the only user that has commented on it has been the accused one: Jytdog, but he is obviously going to defend himself. The similarities on edit style and schedule tendencies as well as behavorial evidence (like the editor in question completely changing his attitude and aproach towards the discussion after being accused) speak by themselves. Aergas (talk) 22:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You've been informed of what you can do to get unblocked immediately. In the absence of that, your long-term edit warring is clear from the article's history; blocking you has prevented that from continuing. --jpgordon::==( o ) 04:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk: Mexicans of European descent. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The allegation that User:Alon12 and User:Jytdog are sockpuppets is so absurd that it does raise competency issues. The allegation of sockpuppetry is a serious personal attack. User:Jytdog has been around a long time. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
