Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire
Hi,
I'm not quite sure how to post this request to WP:MESO so I figured I'd drop this in your lap and ask you to shepherd it to the right place.
Someone pointed out that there is a contradiction in an earlier revision of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire article that says that Cortez wrote about the Quetzlcoatl myth to King Charles V and that he didn't. I don't know enough to resolve the contradiction so I figured I'd ask you to find someone who does and fix the problem.
Thanx.

- Hey Richard, long time no chat. Thanks, will look into the details. The wp:meso general board has the shortcut WT:MESO, comments posted there will generally draw some project folks' response after hopefully not too long a wait. Cheers, --cjllw ʘ TALK 08:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
i am upset you removed my work. although you could have redirected the page, i feel i had some usefull information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eva in philosophy (talk • contribs) 22:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi. It wasn't my intention to upset you, but having your contribs rearranged or even removed is a daily occupational hazard of editing—for all of us—I'm afraid. I explained on your talkpage why the article was redirected, and also pointed out that you'd be welcome to try and insert that info into an appropriate existing article someplace. I did not want to do that myself because I believe it would need considerable reworking, and IMO its premise is questionable, at least in the manner in which that source states it. But like I said, no need to be discouraged, getting one's contributions to stick around in articles is a collaborative process, and the better qualified the statement and its sources, the better the chances it will hang around in the long run.

Doctor Ling
The dissertation defense was a success. Just call me "Dr. Ling." :-) Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 11:26, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Congratulations Ling! Excellent, now we know what to post when someone asks "Is there a doctor present in the audience?"·Maunus·ƛ· 11:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm more of an applied linguist than a traditional one... in some respects I'm an uppity English teacher. If you desperately need someone to explain why there should be no comma after "hence" in a sentence that uses a semicolon to join two independent clauses, I'm your guy. :-P Thanks! Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 11:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Heh! Excellent news, and well played Dr Ling sir! It's a comforting thought to know operations on my convoluted prose can now be carried out by a qualified doc...
- Curious thing: talking of independent clauses, you might get a laugh out of the defacement of that very article that I reverted only moments ago, with some reluctance I might add. I had half a mind to leave some of those new examples in there. But half a mind is more than I can spare; so... --cjllw ʘ TALK 13:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

- Hi Tosão, appreciate the notice and the invitation. However, not sure how much I could contribute, since I am not physically based in the Americas. Sounds like a good idea though, and wish you the best of luck with it all. Cheers, --cjllw ʘ TALK 03:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
