Is the Spanish-language translation "El Día de los Muertos" or "Día de Muertos"? BlankVerse ∅ 09:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
Borbotones Team!! Contribution
In addition to this we can say that both translations are correct, but as we are Mexican we can tell you that it is better to say: “Dia de muertos” or “El dia de muertos” omitting the article “los”, in this case this article is irrelevant and in common language it is not necessary.Wikipedia:School and university projects/ITESM Campus Toluca/Borbotonesteam

Park lovers we can say that both are correct.. and I'd like to add that November 1st is "Dia de todos los Santos" which means that all "Saints" are, somehow, remembered and they are supposed to celebrate that day. And November 2nd is "Dia de muertos" when some people ((Catholics)) go to the cementery and stay there all night. Arezvik 19:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC) Los Boogeys Contribution
We think that the translations are good and have the same meaning. When you say "El Día de muertos" is more formal and it will be a nice title for the article. Also "Día de muertos" is good, you use it for no formal. TEAM PAGE:Wikipedia:School and university projects/ITESM Campus Toluca/Los Boogeys
Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I've been a Wikipedian for most than a year, and I would like to join this project. I think that I could significantly contribute to expand it. User:Lufthmark
1) the stub/category combination, ((Mexico-cuisine-stub)) / Category:Mexican cuisine stubs, is currently listed for deletion at Stub types for deletion. My personal opinion is that it shouldn't be too hard to fill up the stub category just by creating articles for all the redlinks in the list in the Mexican cuisine article.
2) For the Mexican cuisine article itself, it would be very helpful to add some annotations to the list of Traditional dishes, and maybe even divide the list into various subcategories. BlankVerse 08:45, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
One main mexican dish in our cuisine is called "Enchiladas". They are made of tortilla covered with "mole", that is a mixture of different kinds of chillis and chicken. They can be decorated with cream and cheese. Most of mexican dishes are really spicy. Mexicans can tolerate great amounts of chilli in every dish, but this doesn't mean that every dish must have chilli on it. If you would like any mexican candy, you should try crystallized fruits, that are dry fruits with sugar on them. Comment submitted by team User:ZYANYA06 [[1]]
Hi, we are Taco Team. We don’t agree with the deletion of Mexican cuisine stub. In fact, we would like to write about the typical Mexican food such as: “pambazos”, “tacos”, tortilla”, “enchiladas”, etc. We think this is an important topic because it truly represents Mexican culture. We have a great variety of dishes which are normally prepared with chili; many people can't stand the spicy flavor of mexican dishes, but once you get used to it, you can't stop eating it! As Mexicans, we can contribute with this kind of information, as it is related to our country and culture. Karencita88 02:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Karencita88 [[2]]
User:Robert talan created an article on Mexican crime. That article has now been nominated for deletion. If that article is deleted, the content will probably be merged here. Please read the AfD and express your opinion.
--Richard 23:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
This article is no longer slated for deletion. It is getting some attention to make it into a serious article worthy of Wikipedia. Originally, the text was unsourced and tending towards a POV attack on Mexico. It is now a more objective treatment of the serious problem that Mexico has with crime.
--Richard 04:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
We are Los boogeys team and we are Mexicans. We think the article Crime in Mexico need some attention because it needs a special part about REASONS FOR NOT DENOUNCE. We saw the article and we didn't find the reasons why people don't want to denounce. We say that because it is truth that the laws allow criminals to know all your personal information. Because of that, someone who denounces a criminal could be in a serious danger. Criminals can threat and even murder people who denounce them. We think that information would help to understand better, the context of this phenomenon. If you have doubts you can contact us in this link Los boogeys --IsaacFE 20:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Ciudad Juárez needs a lot of work. There's a decent enough history but almost nothing about the city today. --Dhartung | Talk 07:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Ciudad Juarez is by definition a city of business because it has the mayor industrial infrastructure in Mexico. This city is visited every year by millions of people who are interested in making business with some of global and transnational enterprises. In addition to this Ciudad Juarez is visited by many tourists because of its great culture. We have found some useful links so that you can find relevant information about how is Ciudad Juarez nowadays. The only problem is that the pages are in Spanish, some of them are form the government so they are reliable sources. If you have any doubt please contact any of the Mexico-Japan group. Here they are : www.bestday.com.mx/Ciudad_Juarez www.chi.itesm.mx/chihuahua/turismo/juarez.html www.tripadvisor.es/Tourism-g150780-Ciudad_Juarez_Northern_Mexico-Vacations.html (This one has an option that says attractions) www.eluniversal.com.mx/graficos/publicidad_nueva/reportaje.htm www.portal-juarez.com/regional/dir/turismo.html www.juarez-mexico-esp.com/HTML/MoreInformation/TourismOffice/01-TourismOffice.htm [[[User:Almeja|Almeja]] 21:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)] Mexico_Japan Group Page =) User:Thelmadatter
Is Mexico part of North America, Central America, or what? And do we abide by the United Nations geoscheme, or conventional usage, or National Geographic?
Do the Spanish-speaking world and English-speaking world disagree over where to "place" this wonderful country? I tried to follow the dispute between Wikipedians over this matter, but it's scattered all over your web site. --Wing Nut 16:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
It's funny how people often fight for Mexico's "place in world". I am really sure of one thing: The two months I have spent here, had taught me a lot of this wonderful country. It has a great variety of pluricultural groups, food and very different weathers from zone to zone. Believe me, I am really familiarized with this fact. In Toluca for exmaple, people is known for being very kind and helpful. I have seen them working on the streets, selling stuff or just simply walking next to me. Their customs and culture can differ a lot, and what I personally like is that no one acts as an one inidividual person. They adopt the good part of others and become what Mexican people really is. So, I think Mexico is not just from one side or another, it is the combination of both. There's no place we can assign for it and at the end this really doesn't matter. The importance of this country is what they transmit to us, the foreigners, and I definetely agree we have a lot to learn about Mexicans. Crisp26 14:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The Pancakes Team It is difficult to locate Mexico in North America, Central America or South America not only for its greographical situation, but also for its mix of politic, cultural and linguistic variations. This aspect makes Mexico a very versatile country as it does not completely have a South American or North American orientation. But this indefinite location influences in the politic life of Mexico when it is almost obligated to take a decision about its help for Latin American countries or for United States. This situation has caused a lot of controversy because both sides (North and South) press Mexico and sometimes people say that it acts like a puppet of the interest of abroad nations. It could be said that some countries use this country as a mediatic element, as a judge of the conflicts between the countries. The reality is that Mexico maintains its neutral position in order to avoid problems and have a stable relationshp with North, Central and South America. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karenpoket (talk • contribs) 23:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Now, is there a big reason for the México article redirecting to Mexico and not the other way? It's customary to name mexican cities, states, etc with the proper accented title, but the main article about the country is the opposite. Is there a good reason for that? Is there a problem if I switch them? -- Drini 00:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 18:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
This article has lots of facts and background, but only for the American side. It needs more information on Mexican strategies, personalities, etc. I suggest peer reviewing it. Kevlar67 02:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, PLEASE can I get some help with this... two articles that desperatly need some attention & quality upgrading are the Niños Héroes & the saint patrick's battalion. I also think that the latter should be in the scope of this wikiproject.
I personailty have tried hard with these but have hit a dead end in terms of references and citations, someone who has a better understanding of mexican history & spanish would be very helpful I'm sure --Fennessy 18:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I read your comment and I found some information. I hope you find it useful. Mexican-American War This war consisted in the secession of Mexican territories to the USA (Alta California and Santa Fé de Nuevo México) under the negotiations of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Mexico lost about 1,300,000 km² which represented almost half of its territory. This war was very important for both countries, Mexico and USA, and point out the destiny of each country, this historical fact has intervened in many actual aspects of each in country like principally economy. We think the consequences of this war are still being seen principally in the economy aspect, because territory is a very important part for the economy of any country because of the commerce, production, natural resources, people etc. This can be seen with the comparison of economies of Mexico and USA besides other problems that also contribute to the bad economy of Mexico and the better economy of USA.Blueapple23 21:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)Blueapple23

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 21:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I want to desperately ask for the community support in this issue. Ever since I joined Wikipedia this very specific user is trying to promote the false idea that Mexico is geopolitically part of Central America, or trying to give the idea that Mexico is considered part of Central America (geographically) most of the times. We all know that is not true.
It is impossible to me to stop his very biased edits. I know that some geographers consider the territory east of Isthmus of Tehuantepec physiographically part of Central America, but his biased edits and the words he uses are only to confuse the reader and give the "feeling" that Mexico is part of Central America.
First of all check the articles Mexico, Geography of Mexico, Central America and North America. Also Mesoamerica and Middle America. I know some of you can clean up the words he's using to give the bad impression that Mexico is part of CA.
Secondly, please check my evidence about his behaviour.
User Corticopia (his current user account) is the same person that used the accounts User:E Pluribus Anthony, User:Cogito ergo sumo, User:Ex post factoid, User:Lucky Mustard and User:A the 0th. His edits follow the same pattern: ignore the evidence provided to prove that in some parts of the world America is considered a single continent (and that North America = Canada, US and Mexico), ignoring that Central Americans do not consider Mexico part of this region, ignoring that in most educational systems Mexico is not included in Central America.
When he could not fight the overwhelming evidence proving him wrong (and after I won a case of suckpuppetry against him [3] and [4]), he started editing the articles in order to say "Mexico is in southern North America", and lately to avoid saying "North America" at all and including the less used and very obscure term "Middle America". Please check the articles those accounts edit. The very same pattern.
Please check the evidence I provide to probe those users are Corticopia here. It is very important that you read the whole evidence.
However, if you chose to ignore the evidence I present (I do it so you can understand how long and how deep this problem is) please just help to clean up the articles. It is very frustrating that only me and other user are trying to avoid bias in Mexico-related articles. PLEASE HELP! AlexCovarrubias ( Let's talk! ) 06:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
The subcontinent of North America is joined to the south east with Central America by Tehuantepec's isthmus. This is the narrowest part of Mexico and inside it are the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco and Veracruz. This is the point that initiates Central America. Nevertheless in spite of the fact that some states of Mexico can been consider in Central America. Mexico continue concerning to the subcontinent of North America together with Canada, US and Greenland (Denmark). In the other hand if we ask about Mexico in the UN, for them, Mexico is considered inside the division in the region of Central America. It seems that to determine this is they considered diverse factors, not only the geographical one.Christian Panchana 14:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Tim Nomber Juan
I'm sick of this topic, what's your problem with that, everybody knows UN is controlled by US, the only sick country who wants NORTH AMERICA as own, without CANADA, without MEXICO, even want Greenland in Euorpean continent!!, My god!!, better said NORTH AMERICA IS ONLY USA!!!, happy???, I'm sick of this topic... grew up U.S, even in English "American" only means people in U.S.A, in ALLLLLLL different languages it is not....MY GOD!! ,, U.S wants the F#"$ world.
NORTHERN AMERICA is Geopolitically, according to the scheme of geographic regions and subregions used by the United Nations, Northern America consists of Canada, United States, Greenland, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Bermuda. NORTHERN AMERICA is not NORTH AMERICA......... please use your brain.

Hey all - I recently created an article for the Valley of Oaxaca and am looking for help in expanding it. Unfortunately, I'm a Meso archaeologist by training, and am largely unfamiliar with a number of details concerning the valley. Specifically, the article needs a geography section and a dicussion on the more recent history - i.e., the later phase of Spanish rule through the modern era. Geographically speaking, information is needed on the geological formation of the valley and generaly geography - climate, hydrology (I can't seem to find it, but what are the names of the rivers that run through the valley?), land area, population statistics, etc. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, -- Oaxaca dan 14:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
In "Valle de Oaxaca" the climate is 22°C. There are several typical dishes for example: tamales oaxaqueños, mole verde(chiken with sauce),mole rojo.The typical fruit is Chicozapote
There are 2 rivers that run through the valley ("Atoyac" and "Jalatlaco")
"Valle de Oaxaca" has an extension of 3.375 km2, of this 3.375 km2 there are only 1.200 km2 of cultivable land.The valley has a Y form, and it covers three basins ("cuencas"): "Etla" to the North, "Tlacolula" to the East and "Zaachila" to the South.
I hope this information helps you.. See ya
