Talk:Oaxaca City

message: Is this really better than Oaxaca (city) would be?  Especially given that normal Mexican cities aren't at this form, this seems really annoying. john k 17:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this title form really preferred? 

message: Someone claimed that this was a "firefight" and that there were claims that the protestors themselves had guns. There is no evidence for this in either the yahoo report nor in the indymedia report, so i removed this. It may sound silly that Ms Cana blames the protestors for the fact that they got shot at, but if someone wants to quote (paraphrase) what she said, then please at least do it accurately. The yahoo report says she said "violence" - you can't miraculously interpret this as a gunfight. The only violence reported is of gunmen against protestors, so this means she blames the protestors for having provoked other people to shoot them. A gunfight is between two groups with guns, not one group with guns and one without. Anyway, please add precise citations for any claims. Boud 18:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Yahoo news story (which is from AP) says "Both sides fired but it was not clear who shot first." An earlier version from last night called it a shootout in the first paragraph (that was the story I originally linked to, but I guess yahoo updates their stories on the same URL as the previous version). After reading some other accounts, including Reuters, I'm starting to doubt AP's claim though. A Reuters photographer says the protesters had nothing more than fireworks and bottles, and I don't know who to believe for sure. But AP does say both groups shot at each other.

replies: text: OK, i think you're correct, i missed that earlier. BTW, for a common Western language like Spanish, you can check spanish-language sources through e.g. http://babelfish.altavista.com to at least judge for yourself whether the citation seems reasonably consistent with the source. Of course it's not perfect, but it is available. i think that NYC Indymedia should say something more about their info quite soon. Boud 20:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally can read Spanish with a basic level of understanding (that's all 3 years of high school gets you damn it!). I was just more concerned with other people. And I trust that it says what you say it says. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 03:44, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  teachers' strike - shooting of 28 October 

message: Is anyone in favour of splitting off teachers' strike into its own page, e.g. Oaxaca teachers' strike 2006 ? There's not a huge amount of material so far, but this is a big thing and chances are it will grow. Boud 21:10, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should be spit off, but I also can't promise to do too much more work. That paragraph on the shootings is getting pretty long too. Has anyone thought of putting this on wikinews yet? That would get us a lot more editors. Ungovernable ForceGot something to say? 03:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split proposal

message: I'm not convinced D H Lawrence should be included in the list of notable Oaxacans. So he visited. So what?  --Ray (talk) 18:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  D H Lawrence? 

message: Theres a missions group called Global Frontier Missions in Talixiaco, Oaxaca (because Oaxaca is a state as well as a city) who are revolutionizing these 400 people groups in the surrounding areas. Their work is continuing to grow and prosper by the grace of God. God is going to do great things in Oaxaca.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.250.59 (talk) 01:24, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missions in Oaxaca Mexico 

message: I have tagged this section as NPOV.  I have removed similar text twice, only to have it re-appear.  The Oaxaca FilmFest is really insignificant film festival, and doesn't warrant even in a mention in the "Festivals and traditions" section, let alone an entire sub-section.  The content here reads exactly like ad copy, of zero interest to anyone interested in Oaxacan culture.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This area of central America has been MASSIVELY covered in scientific journals and books, and in English. This is the English Wiki and the preferred sources should be in English. Even National Geographic would be a better source than many listed in this article. The ancient civilizations of Mexico are some of the great topics in the fields of history and archaeology. 104.169.16.173 (talk) 08:13, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: No content on colonial period?

message: The intro states Juarez served until 1878, despite every other article, including the text of this one, correctly stating he died in 1872, when the city added his name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.90.215 (talk) 22:13, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
