Talk:List of heads of state of Mexico

message: I do not write articles in english, but translate a lot of them in french. I noticed exactly the same problems with the list in french as well as with the spanish list. I am not even sure the mexican governement has the exact dates for each President and maybe not even their names.
When someone is president just for a few days or just a few hours, there are always oponents to pretend he never was President. By the way, it seems it's a living tradition in Mexico... Does anyone know who will be President of Mexico the 1st of december 2006, Calderón or Lopez Obrador ? ;-)
I am sorry if this answer doesn't help, I can't make a decision, at the moment, uppon changing dates to month and year only rather than day, month and year.
Up to me the article in english became a bit to luxuous (and too complicated to upgrade) for a list which may evoluate, due to historical research.

thread_title: Same feelings

message: I've been working to straighten out the presidential terms and dates on the list, but there is still a long way to go. Here's what I've done:
I compared five sources to establish the most likely dates for the presidential terms I've looked at:
:*Enciclopedia de México. Mexico City, 1988.
:*García Puron, Manuel, México y sus gobernantes, v. 2. Mexico City: Joaquín Porrua, 1984.
:*Orozco Linares, Fernando, Gobernantes de México. Mexico City: Panorama Editorial, 1985.
:*World Statesmen: Mexico
:*The list before I made any changes
These all seem to be independent lists, in that no two of them always agree. There is a lot of disagreement, in fact, not only in the dates but to a lesser extent in what terms and presidents make the lists. But they are all good sources. I listed them in the order I assigned weight to them, with Enciclopedia de México being the most reliable in my opinion. But if two or more sources agreed, I gave them extra weight, regardless of which sources they were. I also used internal evidence when I could (other dates about what happened in a presidential term that could be used to decide between possibilities, or other clues). And I did some other Internet searches, although it's hard to establish whether Internet sources are independent, or just copies of one of my other sources.
In any case, there was still some interpretation required. I found the best dates (in my opinion), but I don't think every date is precisely accurate. That's a problem I don't know how to get around, but I believe my list, as far as I've gotten with it, is probably better than any of my sources. I have found dates that are unquestionably erroneous, and I think I've found some of those in all the sources.
Here's how to tell whether I've evaluated a date in the list. I found that the date formats were all of the form October 27 1833 (without the comma). The ones I evaluated and made a decision about now have a comma inserted: October 27, 1833. This doesn't show up when you view the article, only when you edit it. Whenever I made a change in the list, I made the corresponding change in the president's article. There is still a lot of work to do, but it's a start anyway.
There may be some problems maintaining this. It's only natural that someone coming across a slightly different date would think that the one on our list is an error. As I say, that's no doubt true in some cases, but I would argue that my changes shouldn't be modified without good reason and supporting sources. That's the only way to try to get a coherent list, I think.

replies: text: Yes, there is a lot of incongruity between sources with regard to dates. I recently changed the end date for Comonfort/Beginning of Juarez from 1858 to 1857, but I only based myself on one source. Since you are doing a much more thorough analysis, you probably have the more authoritative answer as to whether that should be 1857 or 1858. In any case, if you think that should be reverted, know that I revised it not only on this list, but also the Juarez page, and the Comonfort page.--Supersexyspacemonkey 17:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Valentin Gomez Farias.jpg

message: This is an extremely misleading (or perhaps "mis-headed") section.  
Barrigan was no longer in office when he died, and... technically, neither was Madero.  Obregon was not yet president, and Carranza more or less over-stayed his term, and was not legitimately president (we can quibble over that one).  To say that Benito Juarez "was the only Mexican president to die of a non-violent cause while in office" is terribly misleading, and suggestive that violent deaths are the norm, not the exception.   By my calculation, Juarez was the only President to die in office, and Carranza the only one to commit suicide (if that's what happened) or to be shot while holding the title of President... but that's it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richmx2 (talk • contribs) 02:06, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
