This article seems to have more information than many of the Mexican president's but it could still use some refining. More sub headings could be appropriate, as well as more thoroughness in each of the ummbrella headings already in place. It is a very good starting point but still needs more depth.

[edit] Up for deletion

I am unsure as to the thruthfulness of this article as there are no sources/references, and so i have to put it up for deletion and add the hoax banner.

(1) Who are you? It would seem that anyone who won't sign in and sign their posts shouldn't do anything drastic here. (2) Yes, the article would benefit from references, but much of what is written is common knowledge. It's not that bad. --Lavintzin 00:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Needs a rewrite

This whole article is written very poorly, the prose and grammar make it nearly unreadable. And it lacks citations. It sounds like a history book filtered through a 7th grader.

[edit] Mystic about Cárdenas

In Enrique Krauze's "Biografía del Poder" there are many mentions to his wife and the mystic that sorrounded him among the working people in Mexico. One such reference that left me particularly interested was that to this day, some people in Michoacan, Guerrero and other areas benefited by his expropiations have shrines in their houses dedicated to Cárdenas, and, according to Krauze, this is done with the belief that the spirit of 'Tata' still watches over the poor and needed. I think this will give a great value to the article, but I tought I'd ask first in the discussion, because I don't mean to write it if it's up for deletion.

Speaking of... the mate above should at least sign his name if he's coming with such a harsh proposal as deletion, not to mention that, as said by Lavintzin, most of what's written is of rather common knowledge. About the rewrite (sign your posts mate!) I could do that, no problem, just give me a couple days... and let me know what y'think about what I asked above. Vicius 03:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
