[edit] Requested move

David Alfaro Suiqueiros → David Alfaro Suiquieros … Rationale: His last name is spelled incorrectly. (This also needs to be fixed throughout the article, as well as in the Spanish language Wikipedia.) Ieke85

[edit] Survey

Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~
  • Oppose - Siqueiros is the correct spelling. E.g. [1]
  • Oppose - Actually its Siqueiros. Don't move.--Rockero 20:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Not moved, of course. —Nightstallion (?) 06:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

User:64.40.45.30 recently chaged the dictator Siqueiros rebelled against from Porfirio Díaz to Victoriano Huerta. I don't know whether this is right or not, but Porfirio Díaz seems to have fled the country in 1911, so it would certainly suggest there is a problem.

However, it looks like there might be a bigger problem with dates throughout this article. Since Siqueiros was born so late in the year, statements such as

In 1911, when he was only fifteen years old, Siqueiros attended the Academy of San Carlos

must presumably be wrong. For most of 1911 he would have been fourteen. -- Solipsist 08:29, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Was He Born in Brazil or Chihuahua?

The article states both. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.57 (talk) 01:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Chihuahua

He was born in Chihuahua, Mexico -- Jason947 (talk) 04:56, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
