[edit] Polo Polo

Hi! Simply saying "Polo Polo is a Mexican comedian" is not sufficient information. It's up to you to expand this. For instance, where was he born? What work of his is famous? Has he done movies? Television? Does he still perform concerts? Anyone researching the subject knows that he/she is a comedian. Think of the end user. That end user needs as much information as they can get. Anyway, give it another try. If the article has been deleted (and it's likely that it has been), rewrite it with much more info. Here's the standard welcome greeting which has links to lots of help pages. Have fun. - Lucky 6.9 03:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. In order to be included, it has to have a lot more information. The article title hasn't been blocked. It's just that it has to be more than a placeholder for an introductory sentence. Let's try anew. I'll see what I can find on the guy and do a stub article to show you what I mean. - Lucky 6.9 03:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The new Polo Polo  :)

I do believe that you and I have made a neat new article. I'll return later to add external links and a couple of album covers. See what fun this is? Signing off for now. Later! - Lucky 6.9 04:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Glad to help. Apparently, this is one big dude in Mexican entertainment who's way overdue for an article. Online info is a bit sketchy but we now have something to work with. Take care and thanks for your contributions. I restored the deletions in order that you'd receive credit instead of me for starting the article. - Lucky 6.9 04:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danza de los Viejitos

Thank you for starting the article. It has been on my list for far too long. Happy wiki-ing, --Rockero 04:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] “vandalism”

When your edit summary merely reads “vandalism”, the first-pass reading is that your edit is vandalism. ;-) (Mind you that we should be so lucky as to have the vandals label their edits thus.) —12.72.69.62 15:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signing your comments

Could you please sign your comments with ~~~~, so people would know who you are and when the comment was posted? This was also given to you in your welcome messege, see above. Thanks. Michaelas10 15:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ITESM Citation

I don't seem to find it either... Apparently they removed it from their site, as it has changed since the last time I checked it about a year ago.
My apologies, it was my mistake. However, if there is no source, then the correct course of action would be to eliminate the statement.
Hari Seldon 05:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I think the reason it was removed from the ITESM website is that, while the claim may be true for the major campus (Monterrey, Mexico City, etc...), it may not be true for newer or smaller campus. I think it would be best if it was removed and/or replaced with that part of the mission statement. Hari Seldon 16:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:In the pit.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:In the pit.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Xayacamach of Tizatlan

    • I will take the deletion off of this page as you intend to work on it but please make sure that when you're about to submit a completely new article you spell check it, grammar check it, and have some good content that will make it useful right off the bat or else it will suffer the same fate. SyBerWoLff 02:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
      • "which is were we get his poems from" makes absolutely no grammatical sense. I don't know what you're native language is or how old you are so I can't judge anything but that is not by any means proper English. SyBerWoLff 02:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
        • And learn how to use the Preview button before you go editing a persons talk page 4 or 5 times please. SyBerWoLff 02:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of massacres

Hi. I noticed your edit here. It would be appreciated if you could contribute to the discussion at Talk:List of massacres rather than making any other changes to the article, for the time being. This will be in the long term, more likely to improve the article. Thanks for your understanding. --John (talk) 17:24, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your rollback request

Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback/Denied/February 2008#Solid Reign. RFRBot (talk) 17:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Or not, read Wikipedia:Rollback feature and only use it for vandalism. John Reaves 15:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re:Mexico State

Hi, I just saw your message, about a year ago, the name of the article was "México (state)" and then I noticed that that led people to refer to the state simply as "México" so I proposed to change the name of the article to "State of Mexico" directly from the Spanish "Estado de México", but then I realized that it would make more sense to name it "Mexico State" because that way people wouldn’t name it simply Mexico and also because it followed the same logic as "Mexico City" (Ciudad de México), so now every time I see in some article the old name I just correct it, regards. Supaman89 (talk) 23:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I had written such a big message and right when I was going to send it, I clicked in the wrong place and I lost it, grr (X.X). Sry I just had to say it, anyways I won't write that much this time ^^!, if you look at the other state-articles for Mexico they all say "State of.." in the infobox (ex. State of Veracruz, State of Quintana Roo, etc.) so I think that if we put State of Mexico for that article that would lead people to call it simply México, and that's when we have a problem cuz that overlaps with the name of the country, in Spanish everyone calls it Estado de México so it won't be confused with the whole country, but unfortunately in English people don't like big names, and they will simply say México (like they do it right now), but if it says Mexico State it kinda forces them to say it completly, just like in Mexico City (Ciudad de México), regards. Supaman89 (talk) 20:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'm sorry I don't mean to disagree with you but the official name is Estado de Mexico not just Mexico (believe I'm from Mexico, I know) in Spanish we don't have a problem because we do say it completely all the time, but in English people don't care whether is overlaps with the name of the country or not, they will just call it México, and there we have a problem, so why would anyone want to overlap it when you can fix it by simply translating Estado de Mexico into Mexico State just like in Mexico City, please think about it. Supaman89 (talk) 18:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Que bien, entonces tambien eres de México, mira entonces no entiendo el problema, mira por ejemplo en el articulo de Nuevo León en la infobox dice "State of Nuevo León" asi que si pones "Monterrey, Nuevo León" no hay ningun problema, pero si en el articulo del Estado de México pones "State of Mexico" la gente no va a poner "Toluca, State of Mexico" si no que van a poner "Toluca, Mexico" y ahi se encima con el nombre del pais, obviamente a ellos no les importa por que no es su pais, pero a nosotros si, por eso es que "Toluca, Mexico State" es mucho mas propio y evita confuciones, asi como en español siempre decimos "Toluca, Estado de México" jamas decimos "Toluca, México" precisamente para no mezclarlo con todo el pais. Supaman89 (talk) 23:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Mira, no es de que estemos escogiendo el nombre, de hecho Mexico State tambien es una traduccion correcta de Estado de Mexico, y como dije antes sabemos cuales serian los efectos de nombrarlo State of Mexico (recuerda que yo fue el que lo propuse y se lo que paso), y luego yo tendria que estar constantemente corrigiendo varios articulos (como lo hago ahora) por que la gente pondria Toluca, Mexico en vez de Toluca, Mexico State, es como ver lo evidente y no hacer nada aunque este mal, como mencione anteriormente tampoco es como si estuvieramos creando un nombre, si no que Mexico State tambien es una traduccion correcta del nombre original, y si la gente lo conoce como State of Mexico (de por si ni siquiera creo que lo conoscan) bueno pues no pasa nada por que los redirigiria a la pagina original de todos modos, espero tu respuesta.

[edit] IMDb as reliable source

Hi, I reverted the DOB ref on Richard Simmons as IMBd is not reliable enough for such information. That cite is useful for confirming an actor has been in at least ten movies, for instance, but the standards for fact checking seems limited and as the site suggests relies heavily on user submissions and corrections. Benjiboi 02:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hi!

Hi... thanks for responding to my query about who is active. I see reading your page here that you are from Mexico... ¡que bien! My goals have been to integrate writing for Wikipedia in as many of my advanced English classes here as possible and get Wikiproject Mexico functioning better. Id like your 2 cents on a discussion happening at WikiProject_Mexico/Terminology about naming municipio versus cabecera pages. Despite my 4 years or so here in Toluca, I was not really aware of the mess I would create when I asked students to write pages about towns. Interestingly enough, the lists of municipalities (e.g. Municipalities of Oaxaca) show separate links for the cabecera and municipio but 90% of the time link to the same page (be it written or not), except in cases where the municipio name and cabecera names are different (like for the municipality of San Miguel Soyaltepec in Oaxaca, with the seat name of Temascal (town).


Anyway, if you would like to check out my userpage, there is a navigation bar with links to pages related to the work my students do, including a mentor's page. My course for teachers here heavily works with Wikipedia so feel free to contact them if you like.Thelmadatter (talk) 14:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Municipalities vs Seats

Hello! I an in a course with Thelmadatter. I read you are an active user of the Wikiproject Mexico. Could you give us your opinion about a discussion we are having at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mexico/Strategy

Your comments will be much appreciated. --Judith Soto | Talk 16:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
