[edit] Ethnicity lists discussion

Please see discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) for current discussion of a potential policy to apply to all ethnicity lists on Wikipedia, including this one. JackO'Lantern 20:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Mexican" or "Mexican-American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Mexican descent", "Mexican mother", etc.) is on the list. Here are the few people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a reliable source that fits that please restore the names:

[edit] Alexis Bledel

She is Mexican-American as well. I haven't found any interview confirming she is but it's in almost all sites about her. PMLF 17:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iyari Limón

She was born in Guadalaraja, Mexico and is also Mexican-American. PMLF 17:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I found a source for Limon and I will add her. Mad Jack 23:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Victoria Wyndham

Her father, Ralph Camargo, stage actor and narrator of Firestone movie shorts from the 1940s and 1950s, is full Mexican (birth name Rafael Jaime Camargo), making her Mexican as well. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Listing: surname first?

An editor has recently changed the list of authors so that they are listed surname first, given name second. In the edit comment section, he or she wrote "last name first (EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE USE LAST NAME FIRST, FIX THE SECTION YOU ADD TO)." While the articles may be easier to alphabetize by surname when listed in this manner, this style is inconsistent with Wikipedia's standard of titling articles given name-first, as well as with other lists (see Lists of Irish-Americans, List of African Americans, and List of Russian Americans for a few examples. So, if nobody, objects, I'd like to restore the article to its previous state, as well as make a request that major changes (and stylistic changes such as the one made are major) be proposed on an article's talkpage prior to being enacted.--Rockero 07:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
