Talk:Quintana Roo

message: I don't know where to begin. The History section is almost completely consumed by an involved discussion of Mayan cross symbolism that does not belong in this article at all. The "Tourism, ecotourism, and globalization" section appears to primarily be a rant about globalization. There is little or no material here about geography, indigenous flora/fauna, economy, political divisions, effects of Hurricane Wilma (October, 2005), etc. --Nolandda (talk) 21:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that this article had a "History" section until the middle of March 2010 when some school kids in Beaumont, Texas deleted it.  It has been missing ever since that time.  I suspect restoring it might be helpful. 69.126.127.193 (talk) 02:20, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I restored some of the "History" section from early March 2010.  I left out the sentences that had  tags on them (since 2008).  Please feel free to expand the newly restored "History" section of this article. 69.126.127.193 (talk) 02:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

There was no impact as Katrina did headed inland around New Orleans and not near the Yucatan penninsula  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.73.254 (talk) 11:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: During the 1990s, Quintana Roo was governed by Mario E. Villanueva Madrid. His administration was alleged to be so corrupt it developed relations with drug traffickers in Colombia[citation needed]. By 1998 the state had become the first "Narco-Political Subdivision" in Mexico[citation needed]. Villanueva was such a problem for Mexican-American relations that the Mexican Government of Ernesto Zedillo began seeking indictments against Villanueva once the governor left office in 1999[citation needed]. Villanueva fled the country but was finally arrested and returned to Mexican soil to face justice in 2001. Since that time Quintana Roo has recovered and has become an ever more popular tourist destination[citation needed].
That paragraph is not well written. The last line in particular gives the impression that before 1998, Cancun and the resort cities in the state weren't popular, which just isn't true. The last line should probably be re-written or deleted. 11:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am in Quintana Roo at the moment, and the locals do not point to Hurricane Dean (2007) as the great destructive weather event, but rather to  Hurricane Wilma (2005) that according to Wikipedia articles was more intense and did far more damage to life and property than Hurricane Dean. See, for example . I don't have the sources to make an edit to the article, but I suggest that the wrong hurricane is featured in the opening.Dr. Conspiracy (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

message: In the History section, the claim is made that Quintana Roo is "the Mexican Republic's youngest state."  Does anybody know the basis for this claim?  Both Quintana Roo and Baja California Sur attained statehood on 8 October 1974.  Quintana Roo is listed as the 30th state, and Baja California Sur as the 31st based on some unknown criteria that would appear to contradict Quintana Roo's claim of "youngest."
