[edit] Mexico

It is a very nice article. And it has been translate from Spanish in where it is already a Featured article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hugo Mosh (talk • contribs) on May 29, 2007 (23:45 UTC).

• Oppose. Lack of references and citations about article. I didn't even see any in the history section. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 04:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose Many of the statistics are also underreferenced. ShadowHalo 11:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. Whole sections lack citations! -- Underneath-it-All 13:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose as per above; lacks citations. Translation from a featured version of the article in another language doesn't automatically render this one as featured... -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 16:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
• This is almost WP:GA quality. I'd post it there first. Plus, it JUST failed a Good article candidacy, and is current on MedCom. Snowball oppose.--Wizardman 13:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose See above. Also, IMHO, a well-written article shoudn't be proposed using poor grammar: "It is a very nice article. And it has been translate from Spanish..." It just doesn't help your case... — BQZip01 — ^talk 17:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, not even close, particularly the history section. It has a scant coverage of pre-Hispanic civilizations, and at its end, discusses a barely-known treaty. It doesn't discuss life during the virreinato, the Gadsden purchase, and leaves the AMLO situation with a cliffhanger. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 22:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
