Talk: Mexico

Given that you hadn't participated in the debate and that you objected to all but one, but supported none of the options, I invite you to share your thoughts on the matter. In the discussion that has ensued, we have found that options (1) and (2) are not only imprecise, but POV in that not all possible definitions of North America are allowed, whereas the (3) and (4) do. Option (4) has the benefit of being ambivalent enough not to stir any controversy. You can review the discussion that led to the poll in the pertinent section above including all relevant links to authoritative sources in geography, and the usage of the terms "southern North America", "North America", "Central America" and "Middle America". We look forward to hearing your thoughts, and thanks for participating. --the Dúnadan 01:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contribution. I do not fully agree with you for the reasons therein exposed. You can continue the thread of discussion in that page. --the Dúnadan 02:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Monterrey

Hi, I do not wish to engage in an edit war, but I do please ask you to read the discussion page, and the comments left before reverting. Yes, the metropolitan area was ranked, but, like I said before, America Economía is ranking metropolitan areas not cities, and this article is about the city, not the metro area. By saying that the city of Monterrey has the highest GDP per capita, we contradict the article about San Pedro Garza García (which has the highest GDP per capita), CONAPO's figure of Mexico City's GDP (of 17,000) amongst others. If at all, it could be argued that Monterrey's metro area is ranked as the highest in GDP in Latin America, but not the city. What we are actually discussing in Talk:Monterrey is whether we include things about the metro area here, or in Metropolitan area of Monterrey. I will modify the information you reverted, and ask you please read the discussion page. --the Dúnadan 04:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

As a fellow editor from Monterrey, I invite you to participate and contribute to the article about José Marroquín Leal "Pipo". Please add any sources or information that you have on this most endearing character from Monterrey. Hari Seldon 03:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've made José Marroquín redirect to José Marroquín Leal. I hope this is satisfactory. (It may take a day for it to start working) Hari Seldon 07:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject:Monterrey

What do you think about creating a WikiProject about Monterrey? Would you be interested in participating and updating the project? Please see the Guidelines and let me know, so we can start. Hari Seldon 00:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this information biased? The private prison states it on their homepage and according to normal handbooks contact between different genders are not allowed.

Replaceable fair use Image:Arenamty.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Arenamty.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ITESM

Hi Aldoman, I am aware that the institute promotes itself as Tecnológico de Monterrey, that ITESM is generally left for official and legal documents and so on, but this is an encyclopaedia and you have to use its formal name. In any case, if you would like to see it renamed as "Tecnológico de Monterrey" its infobox is probably not the most appropriate place to promote the change.

NAFTA

Let me know what you think about this. Alex Covarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 20:25, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user supports NAFTA.

Image copyright problem with Image:Logoarena.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Logoarena.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
