edit
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Salma Hayek. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- vandalism ? but she is really mexican american, everyone knows this Khalel122 (talk) 01:44, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- No. She is both Mexican and American, she has both nationalities. She is as much American-Mexican as Mexican-American. Don't reduce her to less than what she is. See the article for more on this. The infobox must reflect what is in the article. The warning is for persisting in adding false info to the article which in this case is a piped wiki link that goes to an article that is different than what is being linked. A link to something that explains dual-national American–Mexicans would be more appropriate, not a link to an article that is solely about Americans of Mexican descent. In any case that field in the infobox is about nationalities, not ethnicities (what you were linking to). WP:OVERLINKING says we don't link commonly understood nationalities so no link at all belongs there. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:58, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- 1, i don't see what this has to do with it. 2, i NEVER said that she was less Mexican or less American. 3, I said that she was Mexican American. which means that she is Mexican AND American. not American OR Mexican. And 4, sorry if my english is not very good Khalel122 (talk) 02:31, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Two adjectives in a row means the first modifies the second. Mexican American is a type of American. American Mexican is a type of Mexican. For equal weight need to use either an "and", a comma, or an WP:NDASH to separate them. It does matter for meaning and proper description. See the article you linked at Mexican American (says "Americans of full or partial Mexican descent") for what those two words mean when joined that way. It is an ethnicity label (and she also does have more than just Mexican descent) for what is needing to be described for this person at that point in the article, which in the infobox "nationality" attribute is her nationalities.

Collages
editHallo! I can not understand why you delete a collages in nations articles, as you made in Colombian people, Argentine people, Brazilians. If you have an idea these nations to be representing by other way or with other compilation of images, you can to write in Talk pages of these pages, my talk page or other editor talk page. You are free to make a suggestions or to create own collages, where to representing your point of view about what the infobox mosaics must seems, by you. But please, stop to delete the current collages! Thank you in advance! --Stolichanin (talk) 15:49, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry in advance for my bad English :)
1 : You accuse me vandalism (which is false) 2 : you deleting my edits without reason (you specify even : "You are free to make suggestions or create own collages, where the representation of your point of view that infobox mosaics must seem to you,by you. "
3 : You say that : i am "free to create own collages", but but you delete when i do !
and 4 : "the current collages" but Wikipedia says "anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles" except if "attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia", "irrelevant obscenities" and "crude humor"
Like my modification was not "attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia" and not "irrelevant obscenities or crude humor" and that Wikipedia says "Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles" so why prevent me to change?
