History and democracy

I am sorry, but I had to revert your edits on Mexico:History. We can discuss it endlessly, if you wish, but the main reason was that the claim was properly sourced. While your opinion may be held true, to some account, you must source it. You cannot delete sourced claims based on personal opinions. --theDúnadan 05:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jaurez in Exile

Actually, Juarez did go into exile in the U.S. and he stayed in New Orleans...he still acted as President there until he went back and won against the Empire...I'm not sure why...Mexico would have turned out way better...anyway..just to let you know...check this out ... http://www.pbs.org/kera/usmexicanwar/biographies/porfirio_diaz.html ...theres more if you look for it. Thanks. C.Kent87 06:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was from 1853-1855, during the dictatorship of Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although during the French intervention he moved the government all the way to Paso del Norte (current Ciudad Juárez), he never left the country. He really made a point of staying in Mexico. Considering himself the personification of the republic, he believed the republic would cease to exist once he'd leave the country. Mixcoatl 06:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ooops...I'll figure it out later..haha. I guess you can revert my edit. Thanks.C.Kent87 06:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cristero War

In regards to your question, you might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Featured article review. Apperantly, it was made a Featured Article in 2004, when standards where a lot more relaxed compared to today. WegianWarrior 03:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, update, and an invite

Hi, I got my wisdom teeth out today. Please say hello to Alixb, who is interested in organizing the Mexico Wiki Project. I briefly told him that I knew the person who wrote practically the entire wiki in Dutch. That was my introduction, although I didn't mention you by name or handle :) He is interested in having an info box project on Mexican pages. --Hugo Estrada 02:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

On 22 July, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nicolás Zúñiga y Miranda, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Question

I noticed in this edit [1] you removed Mexican socialists as a category. Is it for a technical reason, or because you feel he was not one? From what I understand the ACNR had a socialist program and Genaro was a member of the socialist popular party. Also wanted to extend a thank you for much of the cleaning you do on the latin american articles. --I Write Stuff (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vázquez is already categorized under category:Mexican communists, which is a subcat of Mexican socialists, so putting him in Mexican socialists would be redundant. I like your additions very much, keep up the good work! I'll try to write some more articles from Sesel's wish list in the near future. Mixcoatl (talk) 23:33, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More than half of all Mexicans have some Spanish ancestry, it is almost redundant. If the Mexican self-identifies as Spanish or was born in Spain or doesn't have Mexican citizenship or has duel citizenship then he or she may be considered a Spanish-Mexican. By the way, the category was Spanish Mexican, not Mexicans of Spanish descent.

Ethnicities

Hi, I would like to know what sources are you using to categorize Carranza, Echeverría and Obregón as Basque-Mexicans or Irish-Mexicans? Esteban Zissou (talk) 19:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Echeverría and Carranza are both Basque surnames, in Carranza's case his apellido materno Garza is also of Basque origin. Obregón derives from O'Brien, I'll try to find a reference for that. Mixcoatl (talk) 14:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:History of Mexico

Hi, some time ago I did some changes to the above-mentioned template in order to show a more detailed list of events in the History of Mexico and I see you re-did it in a "year-to-year" style, similar to the {{USHBS}}. I have some insights about the new list:

The "year-to-year" style is unpractical; it's my opinion that linking "Independent Mexico 1821-1855" leads to double work, an article including the First Empire, the First Republic and several wars/conflicts prior the Reform will have to be created; besides it is redundant to say Independent Mexico from 1821 to 1855 since Mexico has been an independent country since 1821 to date (even during the Second Empire, it was an independent country).
The events in between the Mexican Revolution and the Maximato are important, La decena trágica is a very important event since it's the point where Venustiano Carranza, Álvaro Obregón, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata started the fight against Victoriano Huerta; furthermore, the Tampico Affair, that lead to the United States occupation of Veracruz are all related to the Revolution. This events, if are linked within the Mexican Revolution article could be dismissed from the list I wrote.
The 3 other links you add to the list: Mexico under Cárdenas, History of Mexico (1940-1982) and History of Mexico (1982-present) are also unpractical, since in order to create them all, the individual events within those periods will have to be summarized so they can appear on the list you create.

Having said that, I'm restoring the list of events as I wrote it before, since it represents more accurately the History of Mexico. Please let me know your insights about my comments. Regards EOZyo (мѕğ) 07:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mixcoatl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mixcoatl~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Your contributed article, Partido Laborista

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Partido Laborista. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Labour Party. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Labour Party. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Silenzio76 (talk) 05:38, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
