Mexico was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The caption for the "Battle of El Álamo" image should be updated to read "Battle of the Alamo," the name by which this battle is generally referred to in English. I believe this was overlooked when the previous discussion on this topic was archived. Jbt89 (talk) 23:46, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems exceedingly unnecessary. While WP:COMMONNAME would generally apply here, it makes sense that in different historiographical contexts different names for events may be preferred. Remsense ‥ 论23:52, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no mainstream context in which the name "Battle of El Álamo" is commonly used in English. WP:COMMONNAME applies here as everywhere else on this site and that's the end of it. Jbt89 (talk) 07:30, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems clear to me. It's "Change the citation template for the reference that's currently numbered 115 so it reads as it does now except that a page parameter has been added." The only obstacle is a lack of knowledge as to what page that is. Largoplazo (talk) 23:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change "The country borders the United States to the north, as well as Guatemala and Belize to the southeast" to "The country has borders with the United States to the north, as well as Guatemala and Belize to the southeast". Sporadic one (talk) 05:56, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a good one [1], it states in the page 3 that "Mexicans that do not have physical features like those of people from European and North American countries make up 64.8% of the population, thus Whites are around 34%-35%, which is not very different of What Encyclopedia Brittanica states (you acknoledged yourself 30%[2]-31%[3] two days ago) I propose to leave the article as 32%, it said that for some time already. Pob3qu3 (talk) 04:03, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The page 3 claims that 64% of the population are "morenos" after that it claims that such group "besides being the majority... it does not have the characteristics/physical features that are more related to Europe or North America" actually a more literal translation suggest it more directly than the one I was previously using.

Two recent edits by Pob3qu3 (diff) were reverted by Tiggerjay (diff) as "Highly contentious". @Tiggerjay: Would you please briefly outline why you regard the edits as contentious. Please be specific but concise. If I need more, I'll ask. I ask this as an uninvolved administrator after seeing the ANI report. I know the answer will be somewhere but please start again.

@Johnuniq, over the course of the last several months Pob3qu3 has been attempting to insert a statistic of 32% of Mexico's population are "White Mexicans" (or some variation thereof). This statistic has been contested on their talk page[4] and then another editor brought it up over at NORN[5] several weeks ago. In the most recent reverted diff, Pob3qu3 has cited britannica.com: (1) you can see yourself that their citation does not establish the 32% figure, and (2) that source has been discussed at length at NORN, and several of us are claiming WP:SYNTH. This was considered "contentious" because they knowingly re-added information they clearly know is disputed. The qualifier of "high" is because this is disputed by multiple editors and spanning multiple months with an ongoing NORN discussion. For further details, you can read their talk page or the more lengthy NORN discussion, or feel free to ping me. TiggerJay(talk)15:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
TiggerJay you say again that the "citation does not establish the 32% figure" yet there's a pie chart in the source that says that "other" amounts for 31% of the country's population and the entry states: "Mexicans of European heritage (“whites”) are a significant component of the other ethnic groups who constitute the remainder of the population" It seems rather clear to me that the 31% figure are ethnic groups who are White or significantly White. Johnuniq, another observation I have to make is that I'm not trying to insert a figure. Actually the figure has been used on the estable versions of multiple articles for months, its TigerJay and company the ones who are trying to remove it.
