Topics of Interest

[edit]

We are interested in mexican futbol

Mexican dishes: enchiladas and chorizo

Mexican drinks: Pulque

Legends of Mexico: We know that Mexico is known because of its traditions and folklore so that we would like to make an article about the legends of Mexico. We investigated about legends in Wikipedia and there are just two articles that give us the definition of “legend” but they aren’t related to Mexico.

Hi everybody!!: you can see our countributions in Thelma's user page (all of them with yellow background =P): User talk:Thelmadatter

ABOUT THELMA'S USER AND DISCUSSION PAGE:

Nowadays the world is becoming smaller day by day. The main reason of this is the fast growing of means of communication. One of them, if not the most powerful is the Internet. Your discussion and user page helps us to realize the importance of networking as a good strategy for solving problems or starting a group project. It also represents a bigger confrontation with an English public that can’t be developed in a classroom. We learned from your conversations with mentors that some aspects we don’t know can be clarified by other people even if they aren’t from our culture or country. As you said Wikipedia is a community and we would probably have to deal with problems like disorientation but we have to consider that human can adapt to every environment.


MORE SPECIFIC OPINIONS ABOUT DISCUSSION PAGE:

*About e-mail and interviews as a formal reference: In Mexico it’s considered that an e-mail or interview is a reliable source when it comes from a recognized and well know people or group of people. Even APA considers e-mail as a source. This is the way to cite them: Author > URL > Subject > Date > Name of the server used (hotmail, yahoo…)

*Infoboxes: they are a good tool if you want to have your pages organized. However as Richard tells us, don’t waste too much time with them because the project is for upgrading English skills not editing Wikipedia.

*Translating from English to Spanish (articles): I think that translating an article from English to Spanish is not a big problem. However we are humans and of course we make mistakes. We should check spelling and redaction when finishing translating so that your article will not be a “run-on”.

*Titles and signature: About the discussion page we would like to invite users to use Titles because sometimes it was a little difficult to follow the conversation.

Borbotones Team!! Contribution: WIKIPROJECT MEXICO

[edit]

Hi everybody!!: you can see our contributions in the Wikiproject Mexico Page (all of them with yellow background =P): Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mexico

WIKIPROJECT MEXICO!

Our team (BORBOTONESTEAM) finds WIKIPROJECT MEXICO very interesting and creative. It gives us the opportunity to show Mexico to the whole world. Everyone is making an effort to make this possible and we will not be the exception. It’s good to know that people from different countries is contributing to the project and are interested in Mexican culture.

THE DAY OF THE DEATH?:In addition to this we can say that both translations are correct, but as we are Mexican we can tell you that it is better to say: “Dia de muertos” or “El dia de muertos” omitting the article “los”, in this case this article is irrelevant and in common language it is not necessary.

*TESTING QUALITY OF ARTICLES: Hi BEWAREOFDOG! Hi ALIXB! According to quality of articles, it’s going to be too difficult to check all the ongoing articles. What we should do is to encourage participants to use reliable sources and put references in their articles.

*GEOGRAPHIC INFO BOXES: We think that making geographical info boxes are a good option since they will help to organize information according to the different states of Mexico.

*A LITTLE TIP FOR WIKIPROJECT MEXICO:

1. Sometimes people search information by using keywords. For example “Cuisine”. We should start our articles with keywords in order to make access easier. 2. We would like to propose this kind of external link format


EXTERNAL LINKS

MAIN PAGE > GENERAL TOPIC > RELATED CATEGORY > NAME OF THE RELATED ARTICLE > LINK TO THE RELATED ARTICLE > REFERENCE (IF THERE IS ONE)

Example: Cuisine Definition and general aspects of cuisine. > Mexican Cuisine > Machaca > Machaca > Jamison, C.A, and Jamison, B. (1995). The Border Cookbook: Authentic Home Cooking of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico.. Boston: The Harvard Common Press.


*ONE TOPIC: We know that Mexico is known because of its traditions and folklore so that we would like to make an article about the legends of Mexico. We investigated about legends in Wikipedia and there are just two articles that give us the definition of “legend” but they aren’t related to Mexico. What do you say? Shall we start?

*SPANISH WRITING? NEED SOME HELP?: We are native Spanish speakers and we all are from Mexico. If you need some help contact us to our user page or go to miss Leigh Ann user page to know a little more about us. Be sure we will help. EDGAR-ENCASTIN 05:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
