[edit] Mentors
I am a father who lives in the U.S. state of Minnesota, near Minneapolis. If you read my userpage you will find out more about me than you would even care to know. There is a nice list of articles there which I have contributed. Also, There is a link showing all of the images I have uploaded into Wikipedia. For your information, I spend a few hours each day mostly working on politics, geography and history. So far, I have made about 21 thousand edits, but I have much more to do. I have interacted with several interesting people here, and I hope to continue knowing more. I hope you enjoy the Wikipedia experience and continue contributing when your course is over. --Appraiser 22:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, I'd be happy to help. I have a few suggestions.
- Tap your CAPS LOCK button so that you type in lowercase except for proper nouns and to start a sentence.
- Sign your posts on discussion pages with four tiles (~~~~).
- Tell me how you'd like your navigation bar to look like. --Appraiser 22:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
What's up? I'm a high school student who has been editing in Wikipedia for some years already. I will admit; I haven't memorized every single Wikipedia rule. But thanks to WP:IAR, who cares? You can go to my discussion page here for any enquiries. In fact, I'm thinking of starting some proper lessons for this course, since this is a university course, eh?
I have created 50+ userboxes, so feel free to see which one suits your liking here! Anyone who wants to test edits can crash into my personal space here, and you might even see something funny. ;)
- Explain the meaning of WP:IAR in a nutshell, and how it will benefit Wikipedian users. --Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits) 00:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Laleena You asked me to mentor you, and I accepted. I specialize in proofreading and wikifying, but I can do pretty much anything. Thanks, Laleena 20:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Topics we are interested in
The following are the topics of the Wikiproject_Mexico in which we want to contribute
- Culture of Mexico (it needs attention and more information)
- Liberalism in Mexico (it needs to be expanded because it does not have enough information)
- Tepezcohuite (it does not have sources and we think that it also has to be expanded)
- Gustavo A. Madero (it does not have enough details about his life)
- Some help here, do you need? There's one thing you gotta remember, and that is... there is no perfect article in Wikipedia. At least to the beholder's eye. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that every article, even the popular ones, are always missing something to someone. So try checking out those articles and filling in the invisible gaps. Remember to add online references! Come on now, start editing! --Jw21/PenaltyKillah(discuss•edits)
These one are the topics that we want to use for our final project.
- Municipalities
- Mariachi
- Pulque
- Toloache
- Sussie 4
- Porter
- Pecera Bus (Public Transportation)
- Neurotica FM
- Chupacabras
- Typical Costumes

[edit] Work we are doing on the Geography section of the México (state) page
[edit] Geography
The State of México is located in the central part of the Méxican Republic inside the extreme coordinates of the parallels 18’ 21’ 29’’ and 20’ 17’ 20’’ of the north latitude. It is between the meridians 98’35’50’’ and 100’36’3” of west longitude, with an altitude that varies from 1330 meters above the sea level to 2800. The state has a surface of 22 499.95 km2, which represents 1.1% of México (Gobierno del Estado de México).
[edit] Political Geography
Borders
The State of México is bounded to the north by Hidalgo and Querétaro, to the east by Tlaxcala and Puebla, to the south by Morelos and Guerrero, and to the west by Michoacán. Enclosed within its boundaries, except on the south, is the Méxican Federal District and capital México City with an area of 1,479 square kilometers (571 sq mi), which is not in the state of México, but borders it to the west, north and east of the District (Salgado).
[edit] Political Division
It is integrated by 121 municipalities grouped in 8 socioeconomic regions:
- Toluca, which has 24 municipalities
- Zumpango, which has 30 municipalities
- Texcoco, which has 25 municipalities
- Tejupilco, which has 5 municipalities
- Atlacomulco, which has 9 municipalities
- Coatepec Hatinas, which has 12 municipalities
- Valle de Bravo, which has 9 municipalities
- Jilotepec, which has 7 municipalities (Gobierno del Estado de México)
[edit] Natural Geography
Features
The total surface is 2, 249, 978.9 hectare. Most of the land is used for agriculture, forest and livestock. 14% of the territory is urban, water and industrial zones (according to CONAPO).
Biosphere
The Méxican biosphere is characterized for its big planes. Los Llanos, a region to the north, has vegetation that is conformed by mezquites, pirules and nopales. In the State of México, there are oak trees and holm oak like in Cuzdha and El Rosal in San Miguel Calpulalpan. Toluca and Lerma are in the central valleys, where industries are the main income. In the surrounding hills, the vegetation is formed by pines and holm oaks. There are "cedros blancos" at the Bncheves National Park. Ocotes are very common in "El Oro". In the central valley it is found industries and cultive lands. In the surrounding hills the vegetation is conformed by pines. In the hot land the vegetation is like in the low jungle. It is found capl, guajes, papelillos, acacias, palo de Brasil, guacima and amate (Enciclopedia Universal de México).
Mountains and Valleys
The state is divided by two unequal parts: the cross sectional Volcanic Axis (which is formed with summits level and the mountain range of Queretaro and Hidalgo) and the Mountain Range Mother of the South (which comes from the depression of the River Balsas, in addition to valleys from Guerrero). Inside this system are included the Sierra de Ajusco and Montes de las Cruces, which form a wooded ridge across it from east to west, with a general elevation of about 3,000 meters (10,000 ft) above sea-level, or about 800 meters (2,500 ft) above the plateau level. These ranges are part of a broken irregular chain which sometimes bears the name of Anahuac (Gobierno del Estado de México).
Notable summits include the Snowed Mountain Range, Mountain Range of the Crosses, Nevado de Toluca and the valleys of Toluca-Lerma and Cuautitlan- Texcoco (CONAPO).
Lakes and Rivers
A considerable part of the northern plateau consists of a broad plain, once the bed of a great lake but now covered with swamps, sodden meadows and lakes. The surrounding country drains into this depression, but an artificial outlet has been created by the opening of the Tequixquiac tunnel. Beyond its margin the plateau drains westward to the Pacific Ocean through the Lerma River that has a surface of 6147. 49 km2, and north-east to the [[Gulf of South of the Sierra de Ajusco, the country is roughly mountainous and drains to the Pacific through tributaries of the Balsas River that has 8 372.14 km2 through the San Juan and Panuco river that has a surface of 7 980.32 km2 (Enciclopedia Universal de México).
Within the lacustrine depression of the north are the lakes of Zumpango, San Cristobal, Xaltocan, Chalco, Xochimilco and Texcoco, the latter three lying partly or wholly in the Federal District.
Weather
They are predominated the tempering climates: tempering-humid and tempering- sub humid, that occupy about 60% of the surface of the state. The annual average temperatura in the south-east is about 20 ºC, and the north is about 13ºC.
