Please don't change quotations or titles of works

It should be obvious that you shouldn't do that. I've reverted 2 of your edits. Are you really going to change Pre-Columbian Mexico? That's the English language term for the area. As a name, it's a lot older than the founding of the Mexican state. Doug Weller talk 16:08, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Please don't change quotations or titles of works

Hello Doug, thank you for your comment! Thank you for pinpointing me I changed a title, I didn't realize. I absolutely agree to revert that change. I'll fix in a draft as soon as possible, let me know if you need consensus for the other changes after you read my explanation.

As you can read in your reference: "The pre-Columbian history of the territory now comprising contemporary Mexico" because Mexico is a modern word. Aztec Empire is much earlier than Mexico. We should be precise and concise with these words in Wikipedia. Also, Mexico was California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, as well as parts of Colorado before 1848's Guadalupe Hidalgo Treat. Was there any Aztec in those lands? The answer is no.

Historians must use names of places, not countries. This is like named places as "USA" instead of North America before 1776, or to say that the Roman centurions were Italians. This is wrong from a historical point of view.
