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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rleibman (talk • contribs) 22:33, 6 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

You need to cite a source when you change information. Provide a source to replace the one that is there to make the change permanent. River names vary in Mexico. Its not as cut-and-dry as in other places.Thelmadatter (talk) 01:39, 7 November 2013 (UTC) By the way, I see you have a problem with a photo. If you have the rights to the photo, or can get someone in the artist's family to sign a letter, I can help you with the process to get it up and stick. I did his articles as part of a project with the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana, which he is a member of and they can help as well.Thelmadatter (talk) 01:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC) I'm not sure what source to cite, Byron was my step-father, I wrote the original wikipedia article, all the issues I mention are first hand knowledge, or you can call his widow (and representative) Eva Beloglovsky in Mexico City to confirm all I said. I know wikipedia is not supposed to show original research, but I'm not sure you wanted showing falsehoods either. I can add something to ByronGalvez.com if you think that's helpful (since I manage that site) but that just seems silly. And yes, I do have rights to the photo, your help would be much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.62.196.11 (talk) 21:28, 28 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

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

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

As a bit of a follow-up, over at wikisource:User:John Carter I have gotten together a list of those old PD reference sources which were still, in 1986, considered useful enough for inclusion in a one-volume list of reference works. It includes quite a few which seem to relate to Latin America, at least some of which I haven't found on archive.org. It is possible, I suppose, that they might be more readily available in Latin American countries. If they are, we could possibly use them.

Also, on an at best marginally related point, La Luz del Mundo seems to be one of our more regularly controversial articles relating to Mexico, and it could always use additional eyes, particularly of individuals who might have more ready access to the better relevant sources.

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.

Dear Thelma,

I was told that you know who is able to get academic sources from Mexican libraries. I am looking for copies of the following reliable sources because of an AFD of the es:Liceo Mexicano Japonés on the Spanish Wikipedia: es:Wikipedia:Consultas de borrado/Liceo Mexicano Japonés

• "Proyecto Arquitectónico del Liceo Mexicano Japones, A.C." Arquitectura y sociedad, Colegio de Arquitectos de México, Sociedad de Arquitectos Mexicanos, número 10, Ciudad de México, 1981 (Año XXV). Pág. 19-27.
• "Liceo Mexicano-japonés." Anuario de arquitectura, Mexico City, 1980.

In addition, I am checking to see if an individual on Reddit is able to get a copy of the following document, but if you or someone you know/can contact are able to get a scan or copy of this from the El Colegio de México I would greatly appreciate it:

• Watanabe, Chizuko. "The Japanese immigrant community in Mexico : its history and present." California State University, Los Angeles, 1983. OCLC Number 16517074. - This is a master's degree (M.A.) thesis (See Worldcat entry which states a copy is at the El Colegio de México)

Also if someone is able to get a scan of page 318 or any other pages that mention the Liceo (possibly p. 319?) of the following, I would greatly appreciate it:

• Palma Mora, María Dolores Mónica. De tierras extrañas: un estudio sobre las inmigración en México, 1950-1990. Secretaría de Gobernación de México (SEGOB), Instituto Nacional de Migración, Centro de Estudios Migratorios, 2006. ISBN 9680301710, 9789680301713. p. 318: "El Liceo Mexicano Japonés es una institución central en la vida del grupo, ya que en ella se forman sus hijos. Se fundó en septiembre de 1974, a raíz de la visita a México, por esa fecha, del primer ministro de Japón (Kakuei Tanaka). La escuela, sin embargo, no empezó a funcionar hasta el 2 de septiembre de 1977, y fue inaugurada por el secretario de Educación Pública de ese tiempo, Porfirio Muñoz Ledo.[...]" (See search page)

Libraries in and around Mexico City should have copies of these documents, and it may be possible university libraries in Monterrey may have copies. By having these sources I can help the understanding of the notability of the topic. Do you know who is able to get these academic sources?

I'm re-deleting that bogus assertion that mole is "relatively unknown" in the US. The nearly 20 year old article used as the citation for that ends with mole producers in Mexico claiming that their imminent plans are to go after the US market. Based on the age of that citation and the far more recent citation that Americans are asking for mole there is no reason to continue to assert that mole is unknown in the US.

That's why it's good to "date" statements from people, such as "As of 1998... so and so..." and then you can use a newer article to show a change: "As of 2010, so and so said mole has become popular" WhisperToMe (talk) 13:19, 10 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dear Thelmadatter,

I’m Alex, currently a finance fellow (i.e intern) at the Wikimedia Foundation. I worked before for Wikimedia France, planning the Hackathon Lyon 2015 mainly. I'm today contacting you because of your activity for Wikimedia Tech de Monterrey User Group.

Last year, Finance Fellows produced a financial report that included financial activity from every chapters. It was great and has been presented at the Wikimania in Mexico.

If you haven’t seen the results of the Report 2013, here they are: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-wide_Financial_Trends_Report_2013

We’re currently starting the Report 2014 and this year we also want to include user groups to improve the scope of our work. I want to tell you that I’ve tried to make the process as short and easy as possible, so that shouldn’t require a lot of your time.

The aim of such a report is global. It helps having an idea of how the money is used across the movement, it helps chapters and user groups to learn about best practice and finally it leads to more transparency through a qualitative work, which I believe is important.

Could you briefly tell me if you had any income and expenses in 2014? If you are not the person responsible for this, please tell me who is the user the most likely to know this information.

I’ll be your contact for this project this year, I’m looking forward to working with you!

Hi Leigh, I am Anmol Wassan and I have applied for Wikimania Scholarship and I want to present my views and ideas and my source of motivation for the event. I'll be highly obliged if I am given this opportunity.

Thank you.

Hi Leigh. I wanted to thank you for this comment, and had a look at your earlier contributions this month. I agree with all of them. I was especially taken by this which, I think, incidentally, is a pretty good picture of the ideal ED. Thanks for all your wonderful work. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 05:07, 27 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is it okay if I merge Template:Landmarks of Colonia Roma into Template:Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City? It may be good to have everything in the delegation in the same template.

Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 07:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

In that case Template:Landmarks of Colonia Roma would remain and then Template:Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City could link to it WhisperToMe (talk) 15:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

That sounds like a plan. There is a template for Landmarks of the Historic center of Mexico CityThelmadatter (talk) 19:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Alrighty! I added the two landmark templates to the Cuauhtémoc one. I'm hoping the delegation templates help better integrate various Mexico City-related articles with one another. Speaking of which I started many articles on Mexico City private schools to entice high school students into editing ENwiki. Liceo Mexicano Japonés is perhaps the best-sourced of them but perhaps others will decide to sign up for the English Wikipedia and write about their city there. (unlike the English Wikipedia the Spanish Wikipedia does not have a presumption of notability for senior high schools unless secondary sources are presented, and therefore only some high schools have ESwiki articles) WhisperToMe (talk) 20:36, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have expressed interest in the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, so you may be interested in attending the GLAM Boot Camp next month in Washington, DC. This is a training designed to help Wikipedians interested in guiding museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions in wiki engagement. Travel funding available for those in North America. Since the event is coming up soon, please be sure to add your name to the page if you are interested -- and please pass this announcement along. (You may want to share on Facebook or on Twitter.)

Thelma,

I started a variety of articles on Mexico City high schools, accessible from this template: Template:Private high schools in Mexico City. You may wonder why I wrote them in English... it's because of Wikipedia:Common_outcomes#Schools - On ENwiki any school with a senior high school section is presumed to be notable (unless one cannot prove the school exists!) and this practice was adopted to cut down AFD requests. The Spanish Wikipedia on the other hand does not have this and requires each school article to have serious sourcing. Therefore the trick is to write them in English first and wait until sources come in for a particular school... then it can get a Spanish version.

One Mexican IP user converted an article to Spanish thinking Spanish as a more suitable language. Since this is ENwiki I had to revert it but I hope to find sources that allow me to start a Spanish version soon. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:23, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

BTW Colegio Alexander Bain seems to have an interesting history WhisperToMe (talk) 13:03, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

No reason not to have them in English, if it is possible. Spanish Wikipedia has a very different notion of notability (relevancia enciclopedica), which despite my years working with it on the periphically, still perplexes me.Thelmadatter (talk) 17:45, 24 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think recently things have been becoming more understandable on that side for schools. I fought long and hard to save es:Liceo Mexicano Japonés (see its AFD), and it thankfully was saved. I was able to make new versions of article subjects that were previously deleted and they survived AFD this time WhisperToMe (talk) 01:27, 25 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 350 articles in just six days. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Someone recently asked for help with the COPREDAL article that seems to be under construction. Since it seems like you are teaching a class, I was wondering how involved I should be and if you wanted me to leave some work for students so they can attain their own experience in editing Wikipedia. What I will do for now is place a few citations and make a few other edits. Let me know if you need more help.--ZiaLater (talk) 00:02, 26 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Thelmadatter,

I got a talk message from Victoria de la Parra to look at the COPREDAL article. Her talk page does not exist, but your username was also connected to the article, which is why I'm writing you now.

I'm no expert on the topic, so take these general comments with that in mind.

-The lead needs more information. The draft reads: COPREDAL, "Preparatory Comission [sic] for the Denuclearization of Latin America" was a meeting with 4 periods of sessions in a Preparatory Commission. (library un)

I suggest: COPREDAL, (Spanish acronym) the Preparatory Commission for the Denuclearization of Latin America, was a series of four planning meetings in [year], under the 1967 Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean, generally known as the Treaty of Tlatelolco. The meetings resulted in [fill in the blank].

Since there is a Wiki article on the Treaty of Tlatelolco, the authors of this draft article need to make the notability case for a separate Wiki article rather than simply added info on the preliminary meetings to the existing page.

Note: spelling in English "Commission". Add th link to Treaty of Tlatelolco. The English draft is good, but right now it clearly reads as an article by a non-native speaker.

I hope this helps. Good luck with the project. Amuseclio (talk) 16:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC)AmuseclioReply

Hello, I′m writing to you in regard to your educational project at Wikipedia in Spanish. After reading your answers in the Café′s thread, where you stood up for your project, I want to offer my help in reviewing your students′ translations into Spanish; I have managed an educational project for the Pablo de Olavide University, and I am as well proficient enough in English to be of assistance. However, bear in mind that Wikipedia in Spanish values quality over quantity, so sometimes it may be necessary to delete certain articles that don′t fit our encyclopedia′s notability guidelines, or rewrite some of your translations that might contain grammar or style mistakes. In case you are interested in my help, please write me. Greetings.--Ad crumenam (talk) 17:26, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi you might want to have a look at the above article that I believe was written as a project by some of your students as per your edit summary here It has been substantially modified since and some non NPOV comments added as well as copy paste google translation from sources. There is a lot of un-sourced material as well. Most of this has been added by User:CTrons who may well not be one of your students. Your students may want to have a look at his edits and work on cleaning it up as a follow-up to their project. best regards. Domdeparis (talk) 16:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
