Good start but needs to...conform to a higher standard of...conformity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.202.21 (talk • contribs)

[edit] two subjects?

This article needs a disambig page. One for Mexifornia as a concept/expression, and one for the book called Mexifornia by Victor Davis Hanson. Pablobowden 19:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] who is "Hanson?"

This article makes frequent reference to someone named Hanson but it doesn't explain or link to who this person is --65.196.107.133 20:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rubbish

This page is absolute rubbish.

Firstly, are you talking about an English phrase or a book? Because you seemed to have mixed the two together.

Secondly, this article is completely biased and makes statements aboutwho the whole of the people on each side of the border feel. Stereotyping, bias and bald-faced lies.

Please clean it up and remove the all the rubbish and break it into two seperate articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivan Thomson (talk • contribs) 22:17, April 18, 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. -- Satori Son 22:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I got the references to all appear as notes at the end of the article page, but I am not particularly enamored with the use of ref and note templates except in a stable NPOV article without anticipated changes. As is, anyone editing and wishing to insert a new ref|note combo must also adjust all of the following ref|note combos to make everything else match up. Also added a factual correction regarding Spanish conquest of New Spain, formerly implying that Spain went to war with itself. Appearances do count for something, so I'm glad the notes actually appear, but I will probably re-visit the ref|note combos and re-edit to make html-style ref insertions easier on future editors.

This neologism definition might have a better home on a dictionary if it ever catches on. In mainstream media, it's not used except in reference to the book, or a book about this book. Among Americans of Mexican descent, it's not used - there are other terms. Hotfeba 06:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It needs to be rewritten as an article on the Hanson Book Mexifornia: A State of Becoming. Wikipedia is not the place for neologisms.--Rockero 04:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
