Gulf Cartel

You have done a very nice job on the Gulf Cartel article! Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, when there are arrests of lower-ranking lieutenants, or some remarkable shootouts, and related miscelaneous news, we are placing into the article named Timeline of the Mexican Drug War, so that the reader is not encumbered by dozens of nearely irrelevant arrests of the lower cartel management. That is where I moved your latest entry on the arrest of "El Yupo" I hope you are OK with this. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 23:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note to express my gratitude of you looking after the mexican drug war related articles and biographies. I have been quite ill for a few months and am just recovering from heart surgery. It is reasuring to see you deal with the ongoing vandalism, researching and improving the articles. Keep up the good work. I will keep dropping in every now and then to help in small ways.

Absolutely! Los Zetas have their origins with the Gulf Cartel so they share the same historical background. Take care, BatteryIncluded (talk) 01:54, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words. And I really wish you a speedy recovery. Never forget that I'm here if you ever need anything. Thanks for looking at the articles as well. And welcome back! ComputerJA (talk) 04:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of the Mexican Drug War

Yes. That shooting in Guatemala is notorious. BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

gunwalking

I started ATF gunwalking scandal and redirected Operation Wide Receiver. I gave it a good start and outlined what I think the rest of the article could look like.Hazydan (talk) 11:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC

Sweet! Good job. It looks way better than it used to look with the operation articles. I'll make sure to make it widespread among other users so they can contribute. Thanks a lot! ComputerJA (talk) 16:20, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, very nice work, I agree. ComputerJA, based on the comments you made at Talk:ATF gunwalking scandal I thought you might appreciate being made aware of a straw poll I implemented at Talk:Operation Fast and Furious concerning the proposal to merge the "O.F.F." article into ATF gunwalking scandal. If so, will you please inform other editors who've previously indicated an interest, as well, since this isn't really my topic area? Thanks, – OhioStandard (talk) 08:50, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will. Thanks for promoting this, OhioStandard. I'll take care of it. ComputerJA (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good on you, then, ComputerJA, and many thanks "back at you", as well, for following this up. Cheers, – OhioStandard (talk) 04:36, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for keeping an eye on the article. You made an edit a few days back stating that Jaime Zapata was killed by a walked gun. In spite of some people's suspicion earlier this year, I'm not sure this is correct or backed up by the cite (does it actually say he was killed by a F&F gun?). See Talk:ATF gunwalking scandal. Hazydan (talk) 21:50, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you're right. I actually took a look at the articles (both in Spanish and in English), and although some Spanish articles seem to claim it indeed MAY have been a F&F weapon, and are leaning more to that idea, the English ones claim that they were mere speculations. Sorry about that, bud. I'll take care of the changes in the Jaime Zapata article right away. Thanks for cathing that. You deserve a barnstar. Let me know if anything comes up.

Please use reliable sources

What you added to the lead of McAllen, Texas was inappropriate,[1] in my opinion. Your sources were not reliable for the statements you inserted. Perhaps it would serve as a useful reminder if you looked over Wikipedia:IRS#Some_types_of_sources. Jesanj (talk) 08:12, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about if I use these sources? [2] This one shows that the McAllen area has been one of the fastest growing urban areas over the past two decades. I also researched and found that McAllen (as of this year) is among the cheapest places to live in the U.S. [3] It is also among the best places to retire in the nation, according to a 2011 U.S. News. [4] It was ranked as the 4th best performing city in Texas.[5] The only one I'm not so sure about is the one of the pro-business climate. The McAllen Chamber of Commerce, however, mentions that the city has among the best climates to do business.[6] And, it is worth mentioning that Texas ranked #1 for it that same year.[7] What do you think?

Do any of these sources look good to you? I think they're from recent, creditable sites. Let me know, bud. ComputerJA ★ 20:21, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Quick ignorant reply.) If they are reliable sources then they are worth adding, IMO. There is a section in McAllen on the economy. I'm curious, however, to what extent excess Medicare spending in McAllen (unwarranted variation) is a factor in boosting the growth. And to what extent is the poverty a factor behind why it is a cheap place to live? We need to think about the whole picture, and try to tie things together with context and reliable sources (but not original research). We're not here to collect lists, primarily, but to write high-quality prose. Thanks for your reply and thanks for your research. I share your concern with the article adopting the language of the Chamber of Commerce. Pro-business climate is a peacock term/WP:WTW in my opinion. FWIW, I'm interested in health care in the United States. FYI, yesterday I wrote this, which relates to my interest in McAllen. Jesanj (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
