Edits on Byron Galvez

Hey, would you please stop changing the page? The river under his house is the Tula River (check a map!!) the Tula ends up in the Moctezuma, but in Mixquiahuala it's still the Tula River. Furthermore, Byron spent his last years living in Colonia Condesa (in Agustin Melgar street) in Mexico City and NOT in Mixquiahuala (though he had a weekend house there). He died of Stomach cancer (yes, his heart stopped, which is what the newspaper says, but only after a large operation to attempt to remove the tumor). Finally, the exhibit in Taiwan was of fake paintings, I'm still fighting that battle and trying to get the gallery that's putting fakes in the market.


Nice page on Antonio Vega!

I just marked your page on Antonio Vega as reviewed. It looks quite good already. Impressive work! Slashme (talk) 01:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, even better that you're using Wikipedia to teach students! You're the kind of person that keeps Wikipedia going! --Slashme (talk) 08:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Monterrey Institute of Tecnology and Higher Education faculty may have broken the syntax by modifying 9 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:48, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Answer to Mexican Immigration

No, no, no - you have a right logic in your head but it is more complex than that. Poland didn't exist at the time so Poles were Germans/Russians/Austrians, and with the passport, so in reality it is difficult to say how many Poles immigrated o Mexico. It used to be dependent on an official (as well as immigrant giving the country of origin). Some of them accepted to put Poland as a place of origin, most refused since Poland was not a country any more. Immigrants had the same dillema.--81.100.242.0 (talk) 10:58, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PD reference sources

Maybe this isn't the best idea in the world, but one idea has finally worked its way through my skull here. I have recently started uploading a bunch of PD reference sources broadly relating to religion to Wikimedia Commons, so that I can start adding copyedited versions of some of the longer articles from them to WikiSource, so that they might, eventually, be linked to here. This seems to include at this point quite a few articles which don't yet have articles in the English wikipedia. I don't know how many similar PD reference sources there might be in Spanish in Mexico, but I definitely think it might be useful to maybe try to get them uploaded to commons, and then, if they are in Spanish, they could be translated into English on WikiSource. Alternately, maybe some of the articles in English from some reference sources already in commons could be translated into Spanish for the Spanish WikiSource (if there is one - I don't read Spanish, I dunno), and maybe be used to develope weak or nonexistent articles there. And, considering they are PD, they can be basically be quoted verbatim, as long as proper attribution is given. I wouldn't suggest that for students, because they have no reason not to check to see if there have been any changes in the interim, but in some cases there might not be any real changes to some topics.

l But I am honestly stunned by the extent of the coverage of some of these older reference sources, and from what I've seen of some I've been uploading relating to religion, philosophy, etc., a lot of their broad "topical" articles may well be dated, but a lot of the biographical articles and articles on books and such seem to me to be just about as good, maybe in some cases better, than newer sources. Just an idea, anyway. John Carter (talk) 20:34, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tesoros del Registro Civil Salón de la Plástica Mexicana

Hi there. I'm trying to track down the ISBN number for Tesoros del Registro Civil Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. You added one to Celia Calderón but it doesn't seem to be valid and I can't track it down through the usual sources. Any help would be appreciated.

Source of Popocateptl sound file?

I was just wondering where you got that. The speaker pronounces it as "popocatepet i l, notice the 'i' in between the 't' and 'l' at the end. This is not how it would be pronounced in Nahuatl. There would be no 'i'. Also you label it a Spanish. I was wondering how a Nahuatl word could be Spanish. Senor Cuete (talk) 15:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some college student in Monterey isn't a reliable source and the fact that you recorded it yourself violates Wikipedia's policy on original research. I've never heard it pronounced like you have it in the sound file. I would certainly be justified in removing it. Also it's easier if you discuss things on one page, ie. put your reply here, not on my talk page, please. Senor Cuete (talk) 17:04, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original research pertains to information written in Wikipedia, ,media files. That would be saying that photos have no place in Wikipedia articles for the same reason. There is nothing in WP:NOR to support such a position.Thelmadatter (talk) 17:19, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
