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

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)
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)

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.

- 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)

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)
