Scope of the article for Soldaderas

Hello! I am currently working on updating the article on soldaderas and have run into an interesting problem. The article says that soldaderas were women who served, specifically, in the Mexican Revolution, and is framed as being entirely about the women of the Revolution. However, I don't really know that this is supported by the academic literature. Salas, for example, does not make any distinction between women who served as soldaderas in the Mexican Revolution and in other conflicts, such as the Mexican War of Independence. None of the other literature I've found specifically limits the scope of soldaderas to the Revolution either, though this definitely seems to be the most studied period. I am not Mexican, though, so I was wondering if a popular distinction exists. Are soldaderas thought to be exclusively a thing of the Mexican Revolution? If not, should the scope of the article be expanded? Spookyaki (talk) 19:46, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Proposed deletion of Bugle and trumpet calls of the Mexican Armed Forces

The article Bugle and trumpet calls of the Mexican Armed Forces has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for 15 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources; an online search on Google found no reliable sources.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 03:56, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. I agree with deleting the article. Morogris (✉ • ✎) 05:39, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
