message: The climate within the state of Veracruz varies a great deal depending on location, elevation etc.  The climate chart in this article does not reflect that.  Is it for the CITY of Veracruz?  If so, it should say so.  It would be better, I think, to state that the climate varies greatly within the state and then, if possible, give a climate chart for say the city of Veracruz and another for the city of Xalapa as examples.  I would do it but I do not know where the data for the climate chart came from, or where to get such data for say Xalapa. Jbuddenh (talk) 17:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Please comment on this topic because this state has a strong influence of people from Canary Islands. The so called "blood tax" and other economical struggles pushed this very interesting spanish-berberic people to move to different parts of the new world. It is not a casuality the very distinctive way of the use of andalusian spanish in the Veracruz region. Categoricaly it is from Canary Islands its origin. Expose this truth to the wikireaders and to the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.79.69.56 (talk • contribs) 17:38, July 21, 2008

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Veracruz's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

message: the city of Tampico wich territorially belongs to the state of tamaulipas, and its metropolitan area, are not part or nor have extensions on the state of Veracruz, the small urban area of Veracruz side of the river belongs to another municipality of the state of  veracruz and not to tampico one,
therefore, I will modify the part where is says that the largest metropolitan of the state of veracruz is "Tampico" is not true, in fact the largest metropolitan area of the state of veracruz-llave is ​​Veracruz - Boca del Rio or in spanish, "zona conurbada de veracruz-boca del rio",  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.129.186.43 (talk) 00:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Thelmadatter has reverted my edits to the section on fisheries. If you read the linked species articles you will see that there are NO Trout and NO Tilapia in Veracruz, at lest of commercial interest. Rainbow trout have been introduced to a reservoir up by Cuetzalan, but I'm pretty sure that this is in Puebla. Furthermore, the commercial fisheries mentioned are marine and trout are mostly fresh-water fish. If you read the the Tilapia article you will see that they are NOT native to the western hemisphere and are fresh-water fish as well. So tell me Thelma, how is it that there's a significant commercial catch of non-existent fresh-water fish in the ocean fishery off Veracruz? Furthermore you have justified this with a dead internet link. Seriously, try to find a reliable source for this outlandish claim.  Senor Cuete (talk) 02:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Given that this is the English wikipedia, the pronunciation given should be the one that English-speakers use, not the local Spanish pronunciation that contains sounds that anglophones can't produce. The Spanish pronunciation can be included for interest's sake only. See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/veracruz?s=t for the English pronunciation.  unsigned comment added by /184.147.133.97 (talk) 00:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Many English speakers try hard to pronounce names in foreign countries as the locals do. There are exceptions to this, for example the English, who pronounce names in foreign languages as if they were British English, for example pronouncing 'r's as 'h's adding an 'r' to the end of words that end in a vowel (particularly 'a') and take the attitude that the revisionist way that they pronounce these things is correct and that the locals don't know how to pronounce their own words. This is arrogant and condescending and angers people all over the world. The purpose of a dictionary is to educate and so the correct pronunciation as spoken by the people of the country should be used as the correct one, not the one used by the ignorant or those with an ethnocentrist agenda. It's extremely presumptuous to think that you can speak for all English speakers. Not all of them speak English the way you do, for example you might speak British English, or North American English, which are in many ways different languages. When I look at an article like this one I'm not looking for your pronunciation, I'm looking for the way it's pronounced in Mexico. Senor Cuete (talk) 02:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

text: I thought of some examples of why the native pronunciation should be used. Some people from Great Britain would pronounce the name of the Kona district on the island of Hawaii as "kehwnuhr". Would it make sense for an editor to use this as the pronunciation? It would be the English pronunciation for him. Many Americans pronounce the name of the city of Tijuana, Mexico as "teeUHwana", incorrectly adding a syllable and using a silent 'j'. Should this be in the article? You could argue that an article about Paris should mention the English pronunciation but in my opinion it should still include "Paree" as the primary pronunciation.

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: In Spanish, all nouns have gender and they have gender suffixes that must be matched by modifying adjectives. For this reason, Spanish speakers often add gender suffixes to the names of indigenous peoples. For example: Aztec becomes Azteca an Totonac becomes Totonaca. This is done to some, but not all, of the names of indigenous people in this article. For example the article uses the word "Olmec" but also "Totonacas". In English only a few nouns have genders. This is the English Wikipedia and these gender suffixes to nouns don't make sense in English. Also words like "Olmec", and "Totonac" are not Spanish words. In writing about the indigenous people of Mesoamerica, English speakers don't use these Spanish gender suffixes. For this reason I propose to eliminate these suffixes from the article.
