Fidel Castro
There is another picture in Fidel Castro that doesn't have copyright information, yet you haven't removed it. Why? Maybe you don't like the image of Castro and the Pope? If you're going to play policeman then at least play by the rules --Cantus 19:03, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Unperson question from non-unperson without username (yet)
Ruiz, thanks for the name fixes for article "Hernán Cortes." I suppose I should get a username... How do I link Orwell's "Unperson," to the page I found Unperson on, namely, the same page as the definition of "Damnatio Memoriae"? (I knew Cortes was known as Unperson in Mexico, which led me to his page, which I then proceeded to edit, closing out often because there's no spell-checker!!!) I read the instructions but it didn't work. Do you know what Unperson is in Spanish? Lisa LisaHelenW@aol.com
- Hello Lisa. Unperson is not a Spanish word. As far as I know, it's a term originally coined by George Orwell in 1984. It may look quite similar to "Una persona" (a person) but that's not what Orwell tried to depict. As the 2nd paragraph of this website (http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/jtuck/jtcuauhtemoc.html) suggests, when they say Cortés became an unperson they are making an orwellian analogy. Now, regarding your first question, you just have to wrap the word in brackets (i.e. [[word]]) wherever you found it. I've done it for you already in Damnatio memoriae. Ruiz 23:14, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks. Yes, coined by Orwell. I tried bracketing it without success even though I know it's on several pages, but there's a Wikipedia instruction to the effect that the ability to cross-reference to a hyperlink within another page isn't yet available but will be in the future. I read somewhere, I think in the tome "The Mexico Reader" (the article by Octavio Paz?), that Cortes is known as Unperson in Mexico, "not Nonperson." I'll ask a Mexican to clarify this crucial question :-)
Mexican States
Good to see you back. I've been away for the summer myself; just restarted editing this evening. If you have a moment, please glance over at Talk:States of Mexico: I'm not quite sure how/what to respond, and I'd appreciate your input. (I'm the person who "put it back wrong", of course.) Saludos, –Hajor 05:52, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Presidencia
Excellent news! Of course, you spend 40 mins looking for a photo, downloading it, trimming & resizing it, uploading & labelling it, and then some moronic troll comes and overwrites it with a 'fair use' photo from Reuters. I stopped frequenting that Brazilian site (nightmare to navigate, but some splendid pics available) largely for that reason. I suppose image:AMLO should be brought across to w:en, but it's time I was in bed. Slds, pues, –Hajor 06:38, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Politics of Nuevo León
Hi! First of all, thanks for giving us a hand with the Spanish-English translations. Regarding the question you posted in here (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discusi%C3%B3n:Pol%C3%ADtica_y_gobierno_de_Nuevo_Le%C3%B3n), the two independent deputies were representing two of the four political parties that were part of the winning alliance. After the victory, the alliance was dissolved, but it didn't prevent them from getting their seat by means of "proportional representation" of the alliance as a whole. Now, in those elections their parties failed miserably at a national level, an internal struggle followed, and long story short, they became independent. One of them is now green by the way, so I'll update the table and the numbers in the body of the article. I hope everything makes sense now. If you have further questions please let me know. Cheers, Ruiz 03:53, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks. Can you sort out the disagreement I had with someone in that talk page: did I understand the history and the meaning of the constitution correctly, or should I have translated literally? I find that in doing translation on historical topics I need to do a lot of non-literal translation, because of different reasonable assumptions about cultural knowledge. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:56, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
By the way, if you have other specific articles you think merit translation into English, let me know. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:54, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

I listed Image:Agualeguas.jpg as a possibly unfree image because the link (http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=3743) no longer works. If you want to add anything, please go to that page. --[[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682 (talk)]] 06:55, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
NL date
Well spotted. Must have been my fingers when I was typing in all those dates. I'm also somewhat upset (mildly putting it) that that date format doesn't work on w:es. Wikitheory holds that if I ignore it, either someone else'll fix them or they aren't that important after all. Wonder what'll happen... –Hajor 19:33, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Clever work with the search and replace (I still think w:es should have recognised that ISO date format, tho'). Now, any idea where I can find a list of the DF's late, unlamented regentes to flesh out my Head of Government of the Federal District article? –Hajor 14:08, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
