Talk:Zócalo

message: Sorry to nitpick, but I initially created the article for "Zocalo" (prior to getting an account) as an entry referring to that word and the concept that it represents.
The most recent edit changed the entry from being about a Zocalo to focusing on the Plaza de la Constitucion.
I'd like to suggest that these be separate entries. Would that be acceptable?

thread_title: Survey

message: Could somebody please provide the dimensions of the flag in the Zocalo of Mexico City?  Thanks
How about the dimensions of the Zocalo itself?Jm546 00:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Size

message: I put a "move portions" template on the Mexico City Zocalo section in this article. I would like to see most of that section's text moved or merged into the Plaza de la Constitución article, leaving this article with a brief history of how the first Zocalo was established and how it got its informal name.

replies: text: Support - This article (Zócalo) should be about the term "zócalo", exploring its origin in the Mexico City plaza, and it should mention notable zócalos in Mexico. Most of the material that is specific to the Plaza de la Constitución should be moved there. I'll start doing the merger sometime soon if there are no objections.  LinguistAtLarge • Msg  17:53, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Against Actually the two articles should be merged. To Mexicans in general, the name "Zocalo" refers to the plaza in Mexico City. While this alternative name has been adopted for many (but not all) city/town plazas in the country, that alternative designation is derived from this particular "Zocalo" Separating the two terms does not make sense.Thelmadatter (talk) 02:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good point. Both article titles would bring the reader to the same data. Do you think the main repository of text should be Plaza de la Constitución or Zócalo? The other one would become a redirect. Binksternet (talk) 15:00, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

text: If I remember correctly, Wikipedia prefers the use of the more common name as the title. ¿Verdad? :D Thelmadatter (talk) 14:33, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: More people will search Zócalo and Zocalo (no accent) than they will Plaza anything. Binksternet (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move portions to Plaza de la Constitución 

message: It claims that it is the second largest city square in the world just after Moscow's Red Square. However, there are several city squares that are far larger than both the Red Square and the Zócalo. I propose "Zocalo" to redirect to "Plaza de la Constitución" and to have the valid information from this article to be merged within the aforementioned article.
Thanks. 189.141.63.87 (talk) 08:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've already corrected the statement about the second largest square in the world.  As far as redirecting zócalo to Plaza de la Constitución, that shouldn't happen. (see merger discussion right above this one.)  LinguistAtLarge • Msg  17:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is flawed 

message: I was born in 1950, I grew up in Mexico City and and I do not remember ever seeing gardens or other things in the zócalo. The article says  that by the 1970's they had been removed. I do not know the date, but it must have been in the 1940s, not the 1970s when the pathways, trees and gardens were removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josearnoldo (talk • contribs) 21:12, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
