Cholula forks
Just in case you're interested, I've forked several articles from the Cholula, Puebla article: San Francisco Acatepec, Santa María Tonantzintla, San Gabriel Convent, and Plaza de la Concordia. I've noted the forks at Talk:Cholula, Puebla and suggested additional trimming to the "Pyramid of Cholula and Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Church" section since there are separate articles about both. None of these articles are ideal, but hopefully they will get the ball rolling on some better standalone articles about seemingly notable topics. Just wanted to share in case you enjoy following along, thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:00, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

A belated thanks
Hey MX! Thanks for the successfully nominating México en la Piel for DYK. I didn't think there was anything in the article that would warrant a DYK and yet you did it. So I just let you know that I saw and am grateful for it! Erick (talk) 23:19, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi MX, thank you for your good faith "citation needed" and "unsourced section" edits of the above article.

Citation advice
Hi, thanks for tagging John Leamy (merchant) today. I'm not sure how to resolve the citation-needed tag for "Tusculum Street still runs nearby". Isn't the mere uncontroversial existence of a public street, identified by location, a case of WP:BLUESKY? I could find a Philadelphia street map to cite, of course, but it seems a bit silly. It would be like citing the existence of a book to some outside source, rather than just giving the publication details. What are your thoughts? As for the introductory sentence to the Business section, this is a summary of the section, introducing (per my best effort) no claims not cited below. Kim Post (talk) 02:59, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Kim Post: Hi, thanks for coming to my talkpage. I'm more on the other side of the perspective, and think we should cite absolute statements of fact whenever made (notwithstanding if they are controversial or not). In the end, an additional source won't hurt. Besides, information on Wikipedia can quickly become outdated, so a source can help readers understand when the information was once relevant or factual (by adding an access date, for example). You are allowed to cite Google Maps or similar websites for specific roads, so feel free to do that.
- I've removed the citation request for the Business section. Thanks for clarifying! MX (✉ • ✎) 03:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Alberto Jorge's article
Thanks for your comment on my submission. I have done as you suggested.
While researching for the footballer's stats (that I copied from both the German and Spanish Wikipedia articles), I realized they were inaccurate or missing for some seasons; thus I had to go on research season by season, since his database profile has been deleted and does not seem to be any archive of it. Also I have added a few other interesting facts to the article such as how much León payed to bring him to Mexican football.
Feel free to check it out. Cheers.--Cocu15 (talk) 02:59, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Cocu15: Thank you. Nice job with the article. I'm a Toluca fan myself, but I haven't been to the renovated stadium yet since I live far away from the State of Mexico. Do you plan to work on other managers for the team? I noticed a lot of red links at the manager's template.
- BTW, I did a few changes at the article, particularly with citation merging and archiving. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing, MX (✉ • ✎) 14:49, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

- @MX: Actually I am currently working on a list of managers (feel free to check it out if you wish), so, yes, I am planning to work on other coaches' articles as well, I am doing it chronologically backwards - that is why I started with Alberto Jorge. --Cocu15 (talk) 19:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
Chhota Shakeel
I've been approached by 180.183.219.199 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) about Chhota Shakeel. Same thing you dealt with on the OC project page? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 12:08, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Vaselineeeeeeee: Yes. This user keeps wanting to push the fact that Shakeel is dead when in reality there has not been an official statement from India, the U.S., or the Interpol. I initially thought he was right, but as I did more research it seems like the circumstances surrounding his supposed death are mysterious. The sources that claim he's dead do not even address this investigation conducted by India Today. They just claim he's dead, and that's it. I rather not give undue weight to any version. I'm not sure what to do at this point because the user doesn't seem to listen or want to engage in a discussion at the talkpage. MX (✉ • ✎) 14:17, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with you. Official sources should be used that are confirmed by the relevant officials before someone should be considered dead. Good work expanding the article by the way. I've added it to my watchlist; I won't actively search if the news is later confirmed, but if another IP adds it later, it'll prompt me to do a quick search to confirm. Regards, Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 15:23, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Oh no.You guys got it wrong.It is an extremely intricate and complex subject but the fact is that he is no longer alive.The whole of India knows that and Pakistan would never admit that he even existed.Also the rumours began in early 2017 and go to a confirmation point via Intelligence analyst ocnus ( whose paper on Organized crime and politics has been published in many places) only in 2018 and in my opinion that changes the entire story and kills the rumours.But the State will not declare him dead.Since you know and are interested in organized crime-you might know why.There are a lot spelling errors on the article too.You need to analyze the time frames between the Rumours and the Confirmation after which there has been utter silenceClearwater555 (talk) 12:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi MX. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TonyBallioni (talk) 05:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Mexico 68 and Tlatelolco massacre
I added to the Tlatelolco massacre talk page, suggesting that the narrative of the Mexico 68 movement there be moved to the supposed main article. That article needs a lot of help, and I was willing to put in time. But I think the more sensible solution is to move text from Tlatelolco massacre to Mexico 68. What do you think?

- @Baffle gab1978: Thank you for taking this. I appreciate the work done so far. Let me know if you have any questions. MX (✉ • ✎) 15:33, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- No worries; I've split off most of the text in 'Early Life', which usually means birth, childhood and early adulthood., and placed it into a new section because it didn't really fit in 'Early life'. The c/e looks fairly simple anyway; you do a fine job with these articles. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:31, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
(←) While copy-editing the Trial and proceedings section, I found some ambiguous phrases. There are:
- a) 1st paragraph: "His sentence was later dropped but Vázquez Mireles remained imprisoned and was issued with other charges." Does this mean the sentence was quashed/canceled/annulled or that it was reduced in length?
- @Baffle gab1978: His 7.5 year conviction was cancelled (sources don't say when). MX (✉ • ✎) 14:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- b) 2nd paragraph: "This new charge was uncovered as part of an investigation headed by the Subprocuraduría de Investigación Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada (SIEDO), Mexico's organized crime investigation agency." Did the charge already exist but was forgotten until uncovered? In English, charges are usually "brought" or "laid", not "uncovered".
- c) 3rd paragraph: " He claimed this was a violation of his human rights and asked the court to allow him to serve his trial under conditional release". Does this mean he would have been released to be tried on the new charges or did you mean serve his sentence?
- Since he was in prison without a conviction for so long, the defense petitioned for Vázquez Mireles to be granted special privileges to allow him to be on trial as a free man (similar to being out on bail, but in this case Vázquez Mireles wouldn't pay anything to be out).
- d) 4th paragraph; "The tribunal determined the evidence presented by the PGR was deficient and asked the prosecution to re-examine and modify the evidence." This seems odd; why would they be asked modify (change or adjust) the evidence?
- Direct quote: el tribunal consideró que eran deficientes las conclusiones acusatorias que presentó la PGR en el juicio contra Vázquez Mireles, apodado "El Meme Loco" y por ello resolvió que [la PGR] tenía la posibilidad de revisarlas y, de ser el caso, modificarlas. I think what the source is saying is that the prosecution was told the evidence they presented was not good enough to convict Vázquez Mireles, and was given the opportunity to go back and fix they way it was presented (or find more/better against him). I hope my responses help. MX (✉ • ✎) 14:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- a) 1st paragraph: "His sentence was later dropped but Vázquez Mireles remained imprisoned and was issued with other charges." Does this mean the sentence was quashed/canceled/annulled or that it was reduced in length?
Anyway, I'm happy to make changes based on your reply here. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:36, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
