Hi, Indigenous rights in Mexico
editIt is great that you are working on the article, and the material you wrote is a good beginning. Nonetheless, I just wanted to let you know that I think the text you wrote can be improved a lot, and that there are some factual problems where I think you are missing some important information in the sources you are using. You focus too much on the basic process of colonization, and you describe it very simplistically. It was not the case that Spaniards just took indigenous land and people and they lost all rights. There was a complex system of rights attached to the racial hierarchy of the casta system, and Indians kept their land rights in most cases but had to pay tribute to encomenderos. There was also a lot of politicas of indigenous rights in the time and different people such as las Casas were campaigning for Indigenous rights of a kind. There was a lot of changing legislation about indigenous rights over the colonial period. Also in fact indigenous rights were worse in the 19th century because indians were no longer recognized as a group with specific rights and protections. So youre account of the history of indigenous rights oversimplifies the matter greatly. You should go back to the main books such as Hidalgo 2006 (which by the way you need to cite correctly), and also Brice Heath's "Telling Tongues", and read up on the different changes in policy. To give a more nuanced and accurate account. I am telling you this because I know you are working within an educational project and I want to give you a chance to improve. If you need more advice feel free to contact me on my talk page.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 02:12, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 24
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Party of the Democratic Revolution, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Popular Socialist Party and Movement to Socialism. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
editHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:45, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
