Here is one more! I'm happy to keep working on the project of bringing all list of municipalities in Mexico to a high standard (10, nearly 11, states already have their municipality lists featured using this standardized format, along with dozens of other list of municipalities in North America). We have updated the information to reflect the most recent census and tried to incorporate changes from previous nominations. The page should be pretty standardized but there can always be improvements. Thanks to everyone who regularly reviews these lists! Mattximus (talk) 15:35, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)
  • The sub-column headers (km2, sq mi) need colscopes like the other column headers (e.g. scope=col). Colscopes, along with the rowscopes that are already there, allow screen reader software to accurately read out what column/row a bit of cell text is in, so you need them on all parts of a multi-part column header.  Done
  • Tables need captions (|+ <caption_text>, or |+ {{sronly|<caption_text>}} if that text would duplicate a nearby section header). Table captions allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables, without having to read all prior text to provide context.  Done --PresN 20:47, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the last FLC I commented that it's weird to single out slaughterhouse regulation. Reading the constitution in source 4 ([2] 115.II), it says municipalities are responsible for Drinking water, drainage, sewerage, treatment and disposal of its wastewater; Public lighting; Cleaning, collection, transfer, treatment and final disposal of waste; Markets and supply centers; cemeteries; trails (can't tell best translation of rastro); Streets, parks and gardens and their equipment; Public security; and others. So even if the no-longer-accessible source 6 mentioned it among types of "Markets and supply centers" regulated, perhaps, I don't really think that should be called out in any of these articles, unless maybe another source gives the significance of this.  Done
  • No you are right, I've just eliminated it here and in the previous nomination, sorry I missed this! Mattximus (talk) 21:14, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also removed from all other Mexican state articles. Mattximus (talk) 21:23, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Otherwise this seems nicely standardized. Reywas92Talk 16:29, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • "Soledad, second largest municipality by population in San Luis Potosí." - not a complete sentence so doesn't need a full stop  Done
  • Nice catch! Should have seen this myself.
  • "Axtla was renamed as Villa Alfredo M. Terrazas from 1932 to 1981" - so was it named Axtla before 1932, renamed for 49 years, then renamed back? Same with note K  Done
    Agree, I think "renamed" is just inappropriate, so removed. Should be clear now.
    "Axtla was as Villa Alfredo M. Terrazas from 1932 to 1981." - think there's a word missing there.....  Done-- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:15, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's all I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:30, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM[edit]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:04, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
*"the nineteenth most populated state" and "15th largest by land area spanning" both link to the same article.  Done
  • And be consistent, either 19th/15th or nineteenth/fifteenth... Done
  • "4,013 residents" %?  Not done
  • This is the only one not done, as the number would not be informative to report (~0.0%), as it's not remarkable, as the other one is.
  • "61,138.0 square kilometres (23,605.5 sq mi)." I don't see that figure in the source.
  • "4,322.60 km2" probably a bit too accurate, the nearest tenth of a sq km would suffice.  Done
  • "Charcas" is piped to a redirect.  Done
  • Table needs checking for consistent conversions, e.g. I see "4.9/km2 (12.6/sq mi)" and "4.9/km2 (12.8/sq mi)".  Done (nice catch, it was a transcription error)
  • Zaragoza is piped to a redirect.  Done
  • So is Tierra Nueva.  Done
  • Refs 1, 2 and 7 need en-dash, not hyphen.  Done

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 08:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks everyone! I think I have addressed every comment. Mattximus (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Grapple X[edit]

  • According to the 2020 Mexican Census, it is the nineteenth most populated state with 2,822,255 inhabitants and the 15th largest by land area—Two points here; one is that we're mixing words (nineteenth) with numbers (15th). Either is fine but pick one and use it consistently, either nineteenth and fifteenth or 19th and 15th. Second, it would be useful to have context for these rankings, as it stands it takes clicking through several links to see that this is out of a list of 31 states. Could we either mention that here ("the nineteenth most populated of Mexico's 31 states, with 2,822,255 inhabitants") or earlier (San Luis Potosí is one of the 31 states of Mexico, located in North Central Mexico and divided into 58 municipalities")?  Done
  • The largest municipality by population is San Luis Potosí I would lose the pipe here and retain "City" in the name, as it avoids ambiguity given that the state is linked using the same text.  Done
  • The construction "largest by population" sees a lot of repetition, could we rephrase some of these for variety? "Most populous" would be an option.  Done
  • The section discussing the powers and governance of municipalities doesn't make it clear (to me at least) if this is how municipalities across the country function of it there's some differences state to state. Does this second paragraph in the lead apply to all states?
I believe this is true for every state in Mexico at a minimum. There are bound to be local exceptions however.
  • Thank you, these recommendations are excellent, I've made all of them and responded to your question. Mattximus (talk) 12:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
