Thanks for reverting the vandalism on Vicente Fox. Keep up the good work. Ya ya ya ya ya ya 02:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Tabasco flood

Thanks very much for contributing to this article. There is a lot still to do, but it is starting to shape up now. I also started a page on Commons to organize photos and I have uploaded some from Flickr if they had a Creative Commons license. I have also posted to 2 groups on Flickr asking them to please re-license their images so we can use them.

Finally, I proposed this for the "In the News" portion of the Wikipedia Main Page. I think it is an important event that deserves to be highlighted there. If it gets listed then the traffic to the page will really increase. We will need to be vigilant for vandalism, unfortunately. Johntex\^talk 01:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oaxaca

I've revised you edits to Mary Goldsmith. The couple lived in the state, among the native peoples in various towns and villages, not in the city proper. Please be aware of subject matter when altering links, thanks. ThuranX 14:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: State codes for Mexico

The 2-letter codes for Mexican states are not from the ISO. ISO 3166-2:MX uses 3-letter codes. According to [1], there are a number of conflicting, unofficial sets of two-letter abbreviation codes for Mexican states in use. Spacepotato 21:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Would it be fair to say that neither the ISO codes nor any set of two-letter codes are generally used by the public in Mexico? Spacepotato 22:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exiliboa

Hi Aille! I saw your recent changes to the Exiliboa article, but I'm not entirely sure about all of them. The wikilinks for Sierra Mixe and Totontepec look okay, since both of the relevant articles state that these localities are in the state of Oaxaca. However, according to my source (McDiarmid et al., 1999), the Sierra de Juárez is also supposed to be in Oaxaca, as opposed to Baja California. Could it be that there are two such mountain ranges in Mexico? If you think there are not -- and you're really, really sure about this one being in Baja California -- then I could contact Dr. McDiarmid about this issue. (PS -- Please answer here, as I've temporarily added your talk page to my watchlist). --Jwinius (talk) 12:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. A bit of Googling indicates Sierra de Juárezes in both Baja California and Oaxaca, and another one in Chihuahua. Thanks for pointing that out; I'll do the necessary disambiguating. Totontepec at least appears to be unique. Aille (talk) 14:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! I trust you to set things straight. Cheers, --Jwinius (talk) 15:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Aille

Hi how are you, I was wandering if you could help me deal with a couple of users like Corticopia and Spacepotato to stop with their negative attitude towards Mexico, like trying to put it as a Central American country (just cuz they dislike the fact that it is in North America) or being against putting the state in Mexico’s cities (even though they don't have a logical reason), etc. I know you speak Spanish and you do care about Mexico, I really hope you can help me, I'm getting tired of constantly engaging editwars with these people, WTH is wrong with them, it just pisses me off their hypocrisy, regards. Supaman89 (talk) 03:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand, I just wanted to bring your attention to this issue that's being going on for about a year now, first with Corticopia and now with his “new best friend” Spacepotato (it seems like they both share the same interests…), I'm really getting tired of all this hypocrisy, you may not notice it now but hopely with the time you will, anyhow gracias por contestar, luego nos vemos. Supaman89 (talk) 21:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Aille I need you to take a look here if you would, it is just an absurd discussion, Corticopia is trying to put that Middle America is as widely used as North America, which is obviously nonsense we all know that MA is almost unknown and rarely used, but noo he wants to put it as if both terms had the same weight... and even though he’s the one saying this nonsense he has the gall to ask me to cite proof otherwise! he just keeps reverting it, we need a third person here to tell him that it is just absurd and stop this editwar, please check it to see what I mean. Supaman89 (talk) 03:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Housewives in Kansas lol, I know, most of the links about MA are about the middle class in the US, but the thing is that here (like in any other discussions with him) doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong he won't let me do it, actually at first (a long time a go) he kinda wanted to put Mexico in CA then he realized he couldn't do it, so he found out that there is this term call MA (which again is rarely used) and he starting promoting it (for obvious reasons...) he even created a template "Countries and dependencies in MA" and started putting it wherever he could. In fact, the term does exists and if he wants to promote it there is nothing I can do (even though I know why), but I do can say that it is RARELY used, but noo again he wants to give it the same weight as NA, doesn't really matter what I say he's gonna keep reverting it with whatever excuse (just look at the history) I just need another person to help me stop this and hopely he won’t be able to revert it.

Just for the record he's been blocked God knows how many times for the same reason, engaging into editwars about Mexico related articles, not just with me but with other users like JCmenal and AlexCovarrubias (which is absent for a couple of months) you can check at their records to see what I mean, anyways I could go to Wikipedia:Third_opinion and try to get someone else to get into the discussion, but I'll have to explain it al over again and chances are that he manages to get away with it, but if it's you (doesn't really matter who, as long as it's a third person) he'll stop giving me absurd excuses and stay with the term "rarely" whether he likes it or not; but if you can't help me it's fine I understand, nos vemos.

[edit] Tubutama

HI. Thanks for your work on adding mexican towns, you can google e.g "Tubutama coordinates" and type it into the box like I have done. ALl you have to do is add pushpin map=Mexico and it displays on the map. See how I have done Tubutama ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a fish around. The main thing stopping it may be that the pin doesn't work with certain maps. I'm not a big fan of the current colours either -i'd rather green rather than yellow as it reflects land better unless it is the Sahara desert!! I;ll see what I can conjure up. INcidentally I've created about 100+ mapas at User:Blofeld of SPECTRE/Missing locator maps for all these exotic countries as I also thought they looked cool and are very helpful. My aim is also for any place in Mexico and any place in the world to have an infobox and map like so. Thanks and keep those new articles coming!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I;ve found a more attractive map which works but it doesn't show state boundaries. The one I found which did I don't think looks very good but I'll see ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope I've tried Image:Mexico blank.svg but it is inaccurate and off line I think ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

We'll have to keep the relief map which I think looks much more attractive, just a shame it doesn't have the state boundaries but it is a big improvement I think. Infoboxes and maps like this should be added to all the places in Mexico. At present only about 5 have them. If you could work on this this would be of great benefit ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I;ve added an infobox to Aconchi. If you could work through the categories of each state and ensure that the towns have this this would develop Mexican geography considerably. i;ll be adding a few from time to time ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Somebody added the wrong coordinates though! I;ll have to find the correct ones ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Soon enough there should be actually a map of the municipality in Sonora -a positional map of the territory too. These infboxes can take this map also. So eventually you;d have the position in Mexico and then the municipality highlighted in the Sonora map underneath ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

See Sáric. It looks as though that is the only map for a municipality that exists in Sonora. I have no idea why the others weren't created. I;ll try to see if the creator can make all the others. Good? You like it? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

All that you got wrong with that was that you added a -----> wiki map blablalalala etc thing at the end of the coordinates. If you don't add that and just enter the coordinates in the box without adding the message it would have done it perfectly ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it looks great. As long as it is fairly accurate and not showing them in china I think we're ok! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 14:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC) Thats great if you have found some municip maps. If you are adding them though can you add an infobox like Hecelchakán. Thanks and keep up the good work ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Uuuu not yet!!! I would usually be adding an infobox to the french articles when I start but I still have about 10,000 to start and its easier and quicker to just stub them and add the infoboxes later. I'm nearly half the way through them. I'll help add infoboxes to many Mexican towns though. Yes I know it is poor to have an article on the muncipality and town in the same article as they cover a substantial area. Hopefully eventually they will develop to have enough info for seperate articles, and cover villages within these municips also ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Well the pinpoint highlights the town not the municip of course ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish language academies

Hi Aille, nice work in creating those articles and categories associated with the various spanish language academies. Just one thing to note: although it's a closer literal translation of the spanish name, in standard english the title "Mexican Academy of the Language" (or Chilean, etc) does not really work grammatically. The definite article (the) is not required in such expressions, and the more usual english translation is "Mexican Academy of Language" (or sometimes, 'Mexican Language Academy', or even 'Mexican Academy of the Spanish Language'; in the latter case the definite article does appear).

I've revised the associated articles and categories for the Mexican academy, and will look to help out with the couple of others. Saludos, --cjllw ʘ TALK 03:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] discussion Allie

Well, as a matter of fact there is no exactly Translation to English or a exactly definition of what is the difference between the County (Municipio), that were are going to say is the territory and the Principal town of the county, that is not the only town on the county.

For me, I would say to explain it better it is like a small state, for example we have the State of Mexico and the Capital is Toluca, where the the powers of goverment are located, we have: Governor State deputies State Supreme Court.

And we have the municipio, a smaller territory than the state, and a lot of Municipios or counties make the state territoy, and they have their own authorities at their level , and we can call them Municipal or County Authorities, and they are located in the principal town of the county. (There is not only one village or small town located at the county So in order to diferenciate the territory from the town, we can call the town by the name of capital of the county.Guillermo7777 (talk) 01:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Guillermo7777 (talk) 01:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)Guillermo7777 (talk) 01:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article titles and diacritics

Hi there Aille. Just FYI, for consistency we had worked out the beginnings of an informal guideline and de facto practice at WP:MESO for the naming of Mesoamerican sites, personages & entities, documented (obscurely) at WP:MESO/G. In a nutshell, where the name derives wholly from some indigenous language (ie is neither an english nor spanish word/term), then we have omitted any accents or other diacritic chars, if they are only used because of pronunciation and orthographical conventions in spanish but are not used or required in the orthographical conventions of the indigenous language. Thus, we have Chichen Itza not Chichén Itzá, Teotihuacan not Teotihuacán, Xultun not Xultún.

However, if the name is partially spanish in origin (eg San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán), or wholly spanish (eg Río Azul), then diacritics may be used. For the names of modern municipios, spanish names (Hernán Cortés), diacritics are OK also.

Not a policy by any means, just an attempt to provide some guideline and consistent usage. Saludos, --cjllw ʘ TALK 07:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
