message: Checking MOS:LEADLENGTH, 3 to 4 paragraphs is apparently normal for an article over 5,000 words. This article has about 8,500 words, according to the automated page stats. I combed through the intro a bit, but a lot of stuff there seemed important. It's currently 5 paragraphs, which even for a topic this important seems excessive to me. If forced to drop it to 3 paragraphs, which the MOS says is typical for featured articles, I'd cut some of the details about history and merge the middle 3 paragraphs into one. Anyone else have any thoughts? 🅲🅻🅴🆃🅴🆁 (a word) 18:07, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

message: There's not a single reference to the name "Mēxihcatl Tlacetilīlli Tlahtohcāyōtl", since it was never the official name in Nahuatl of the United Mexican States. Its official name in Nahuatl according to INALI is "Mexika Sentik Wexteyowalko", as you can read here (vocabulary used for the official Nahuatl version of the Mexican constitution). I suggest you add the Maya official name as well, since it is known as "U Múuchꞌ Péetluꞌumiloꞌob México" according to the official Maya version of the constitution which you can read here.

message: Regarding the image of Robert Jenkins Vanderdonk's Fall of the Alamo (under History -> Independence era (1808 - 1855), I see several issues with the caption. Firstly, the name of the battle in English is Battle of the Alamo, not Battle of El Álamo. Secondly, the description of the battle as being "between the Mexican army led by President Antonio López de Santa Anna and American slavers" is misleading at best. The fact that many of the leaders of the Texian force at the Alamo were slave owners is irrelevant to the battle itself, and the caption leads readers to believe (falsely) that slavery was the root cause of the battle. The Texas Revolution, which was one of many revolts against the Centralist Republic of Mexico, was a reaction against Santa Anna's dissolution of the Constitution of 1824 in 1835.  While slavery had been outlawed by Mexico in 1829, the ban was largely ignored, and Mexico never made any attempts to confiscate slaves from the Texians. 
The wording in the caption should be modified such that readers aren't misled as to the purpose of the Texas Revolution - a simple change to something like "Battle of The Alamo (1836), between the Mexican army led by President Antonio López de Santa Anna and Texian rebels" should suffice. 2601:C0:CA80:A5E0:4CF1:7EA1:62F9:A6DE (talk) 17:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
