General edit

  • @Grnrchst: just to let you know that I will be reviewing this article withing the next few days. I aware that you are undergoing a FA review, so take your time if needed! The Blue Rider   00:27, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Lead edit

  • Remove «relatively».
  • The reason why she joined PLM isn't in the body of the article.

Biography edit

  • Is it known which city/town/village she was born? Edit: I see that source #1 says it isn't.
  • Aye at best you get differing speculations, but none of them seem more accurate than just saying "Sonora".
  • Decapitalize and put in italics «mestizo».
  • Is Pascual Gortari the 1st, 2nd or 3rd husband?
  • I'm not sure, none of the sources say. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • How old was Rosaura when she joined the PLM? Or alternatively, add the year she was born in the 1st paragraph.
  • Not sure, none of the sources say. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • «left her more conservative husband», by husband I assume you mean Pascual (?).
  • Sources just say her "husband", one even says "boyfriend". :/ --Grnrchst (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Done. --12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • How did women played a «a spectacular part in the revolution»?
  • Did they manage to overthrow the goverment of Baja California? Likewise for the capture of Mexicali.
  • There was no "government of Baja California", because it was just a territory at the time. It wasn't admitted as a state, with its own government, until 1952. It's more like the Magonistas captured parts of Baja California during the power vacuum created by the revolution - they captured it from the Porfiriato but it later came under the control of the Maderistas then the Huertistas. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Who is Ricardo Magón and how does he know she said that to her husband and that she died with a smile on her face??
  • Magón was the leader of the PLM. And I don't think he did, these were dramatisations he wrote into his eulogy. He was a playwright, after all. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Per some rule of Wikipedia, the quotation needs to have the original text, founded at Espino Becerril 2015, above the translation.
  • The big one, «I love you but...».
  • @The Blue Rider: This quote is also in English language sources and in the English translation of Flores Magón's article (see Further reading). Do I still need to include the original text? --Grnrchst (talk) 12:30, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Ah, found the policy, MOS:FOREIGNQUOTE. It says "If the original, untranslated text is available, provide a reference for it or include it, as appropriate." So in this case, I think its fine. The Blue Rider   12:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Legacy edit

  • A tad overquoting in this section, no? If possible, rephrase.
  • Probably, but I wasn't sure how else to write it at the time. I'll have a look at rewriting. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:03, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Alright, everything looks fine. Will be passing the article. The Blue Rider   12:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Who is Benjamin H. Abbott? Perhaps put his their profession.
  • Clarified. Having looked into them, I just realised I was using the wrong pronoun, so I corrected that too. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:03, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Reviewing this. Congrats on the GA! I personally like ALT1 the best, since it's the shortest and presumes the least prior historical knowledge. The Abbott source checks out. Obviously the article hits the length and quality requirements, and the QPQ checks out as well.   Thank you for introducing me to this fascinating figure! - Generalissima (talk) 01:23, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
