Catrina shouldn't belong to the "sculpture" category. It was born as drawing, painting or cartoon and is a big part of Mexican tradition. Very seldom shown in sculpture. Esp. very rarely bigger than 20cm or in other material than papier maché. Ozkar 02:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard that Catrina has sort of 'taken over' so to speak from Mictecacihuatl, the Aztec Lady of Death, in modern Mexican culture. I'm not sure where I found it out, but should it be checked and mentioned?

they are kind of scary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.50.241.96 (talk) 00:23, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mural material should be summarized or put in a separate section.[edit]

The description of the mural is inartfully plunked down into the middle this article. It lacks coherence. The included material starts where the mural is mentioned in the Cultural Importance section then extends through the Location and Image sections.

I don't feel qualified to do the surgery. Mention of the mural and its significance do belong in this article. And conceivably some of the excised material belongs in the article on the mural itself. M.boli (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cite elements should be added to the text.[edit]

The citation superscripts in this article were added with sup elements, with the citations themselves as a numbered list at the end. Maybe somebody with a little time could replace this mess with cite elements? M.boli (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have put them inline. (I could not see where the 7th came from and have put that as an external link). It would be good if someone better as this could tidy them up. -- Beardo (talk) 17:58, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
