A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 16, 2016.

A weird part in the "Mexicans of European descent" section

Could anyone correct the following?

United States
16,794,111 ^a^[1]

Would there be 35-40 million Mexican-Americans now? The article said 11.6 million (2014), while the reference from the U.S. Census Bureau states 16.7 million (2011). 67.49.89.214 (talk) 00:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 22 September 2016

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Mexico. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Mexico was not known as Imperio Mexicano from 1325-1521.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:52, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Evergreen, I think it is pretty obvious what the previous requester was saying. That person was saying that Mexico was not called Imperio Mexicano from 1325-1521. If you thought about it, you would realize that the beginning of that period was before the arrival of Columbus in the New World in 1492 and before Mexico was colonized after the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521. In other words, there is vandalism in the article by someone calling the previous Aztec Empire as the Mexican Empire.

FYI - Mexico has only been known as the Mexican Empire (we should use the English words for Imperio Mexicano in an English article) on TWO occasions: (1) 1821-1823 and (2) 1863-1867. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.65.169.250 (talk) 07:46, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Need to adjust commas in sentence

As is right now: "Mexico has been traditionally among the most visited countries in the world according to the World Tourism Organization and it is the most visited country in the Americas, after the United States."

Should be either:

Mexico has been traditionally among the most visited countries in the world according to the World Tourism Organization, and it is the most visited country in the Americas after the United States.

OR

Mexico has been traditionally among the most visited countries in the world according to the World Tourism Organization, and it is the second-most visited country in the Americas, after the United States.

AND ALSO CONSIDER CHANGING:

Mexico has been traditionally TO Mexico has traditionally been — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.65.169.250 (talk) 07:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I would like to add the year the mexican war of independance began

Kyreau (talk) 15:45, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done as the article has a whole section on Independence from Spain which also points to our article Mexican War of Independence - Arjayay (talk) 15:58, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MS SUAREZ IS FROM MEXICO!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.247.128.77 (talk) 19:23, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 13 November 2016

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I want to change where it says that Mexico is " in the southern half of North America", it is a racist comment and I demand equality, it is been years since a plan for the rest of the inhabitants of the American Continent to do not feel identified as Americans started and we are all Americans. The USA took the big name of the continent because that is what their Monroe Doctrine claimed 'America for the Americans', so, by not letting the rest of us, Americans, called like that, we are promoting killing of the native Americans, invasions, etc., so I want to change this " is a federal republic in the southern half of North America" for this " is a federal republic in North America".

I demand respect.

Gsus83 (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Is it not in the southern half of North America? Isn't that more descriptive than your suggestion? 🔯 Sir Joseph ^🍸(talk) 17:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Translation of Mexico

Hello guys,

Just wanted to clarify that the correct translation for Estados Unidos Mexicanos is Mexican United States and not United Mexican States, which would be Estados Mexicanos Unidos.

Best,

Mexico has long held that the official name of the country in English is "United Mexican States." That is the name on all English-language treaties and what Mexico has reported to the United Nations.81.65.169.250 (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
