Let's keep it going. Here is one more list of municipalities with a standardized format that now includes 45 (!!) lists in North America. Inspired by real encyclopedias with consistent formatting and high standards, I'm helping to achieve this for lists of municipalities. I tried to incorporate changes from previous nominations but I'm sure I've missed some and there can always be improvements. Thanks for your reviews Mattximus (talk) 14:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • There has to be a more urban-looking image for Compostela.
  • Since municipalities are the second-level administrative divisions in Mexico, it would be nice to get a map of Nayarit divided into its municipalities.

[edit]
  • Standard disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
  • Additional disclaimer: my Spanish is very poor.
  • "West Mexico": The capital "W" means that there's a well-known area called "West Mexico" ... if so, please link "West Mexico" to a Wikipedia page that tells us what it is. If not, then use "western" instead of "West".
  • "all the public services for their constituents": I'd shorten it to "all public services" (without "constituents"), unless I'm missing something.
  • Checking the FLC criteria:
  • 1. Nothing else is jumping out at me as a prose problem. I checked sorting on all sortable nonnumeric columns and sampled the links in the table.
  • 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
  • 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
  • 3b. The sources appear to be reliable (but note my disclaimer), and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any significant problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
  • 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, and it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find).
  • 4. It is navigable.
  • 5. It meets style requirements. At a glance, the images seem fine except for the last one; see below.
  • 6. It is stable.
  • I'll go ahead and support, but I recommend either removing the last image or doing some research on the validity of the license, since a banned sockpuppet uploaded it. - Dank (push to talk) 13:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm agreed with the reviewer above about looking for other images for Compostela. Your choice, but I agree with him that the lead image of Compostela, Nayarit, looks like it would work. And ping me sometime about whether there's a "West Mexico" or not. - Dank (push to talk) 12:52, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sure, switched picture, no problem. Should I write Pacific Mexico? I'm completely open to other wording! Thanks! Mattximus (talk) 15:09, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • In general, I stay away from discussions over what to call a geographic area ... but this is a different issue, it's about the capitalization. A proper noun means: "This is a thing. Maybe there's some disagreement over exactly what it is, but it's a definite thing, and this is what I think the name is". So, is West Mexico a thing? Is Pacific Mexico a thing? If so, then there's probably a paragraph somewhere on Wikipedia that tells you what that term means. If not, then it's best to avoid the proper noun. "western Mexico" means just "somewhere on the western side of Mexico". - Dank (push to talk) 15:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right that makes sense. I did some poking around and there is a region in spanish called "Western Mexico" which contains this state. I used that term now, with proper capitalization. Thanks for the tip! Mattximus (talk) 16:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but the phrase doesn't seem to exist (as an actual thing) on the English Wikipedia or in English-language dictionaries (that I can find), so I lowercased it. Everything looks good now. - Dank (push to talk) 17:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
