... that the flash fiction short story El emigrante by Luis Felipe Lomelí is just four words long?

Comment: El Emigrante is an expansion of an article started by User:Okigbo and swiftly nominated for deletion. The edit history is confused because the article got split, with earlier history attached to Ella sigue de viaje. Creation of Luis Felipe Lomelí and expansion of El emigrante (short story) started on 1 August.

interesting, thought-provoking articles, Spanish sources accepted AGF. Minor questions - English not my native language - do you really say "four words long"? four words short? something better? - the story article has a translation "Did you forgot something?" intentionally so? Why is the text italic? (It's no title). I suggest to place the translation on the side, not below. - Interesting how much you can say on 4 words! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Good points. You would never say four words short, but ALT1 below may be better - the story is certainly not long. :~) "Forgot" is an error. I have changed to "forget". Italic seems to be correct for foreign languages per WP:MOS, which says, "Use italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that are not common in everyday English". I have put the translation on the side, not below. I am not entirely comfortable with the appearance - but can't see how to improve it. Thanks!

ALT1 ... that the flash fiction short story El emigrante by Luis Felipe Lomelí only has four words?

Aymatth2 (talk) 14:37, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

prefer ALT1, thanks for adjusting, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

ps: looked at the appearance: I would place the text below the TOC, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:49, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

I have made that change, moving it to the end of the "Origin" section, and think it looks much better. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 15:00, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Luis Felipe Lomelí have a citation needed tag - shouldn't that be adressed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mentoz86 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

The fact in question is a degree. He continued studying, the later degrees and doctorate are sourced, so I thought it was minor and not essential for his poetry. But I agree, it would look nicer without tag, with a reference, or with the fact not mentioned, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, as long as one of those three are done (if a citation isn't needed, then we obviously can remove the tag), I'm happy. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:15, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

I just dropped it. It would have come from the Spanish version, but I could not track down a source, although it seems highly plausible. An unimportant detail. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:45, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

My concern was adressed, so I'm reinstating the original tick. Mentoz86 (talk) 06:08, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
