Proposal to move (rename) the article
editI have noticed over time that the Mexicans are inconsistent with names of their villages and small towns. For example, in the municipio that contains this very town, there is a rancho known by several variations on the name San Pedro Xicora: Xicora may be pluralized, 'de' may be added, the old fashioned 'X' may be modernized to 'J'. Many, perhaps most Mexican villages have both a Christian saint's name and a native name; with many of them, even official Mexican sources will be discrepant as to using both names or just one.
As I edited a little while ago, two Mexican government agencies, the postal service and the Secretariat of Governance, disagree on whether to use "San Francisco" in the name of this municipio capital. I propose we "move" (rename) two articles: move this article to Mezquital and consequently the article about the municipio of the same name to Mezquital (municipality). What do others think of this proposal? See WP:MOVE. Dale Chock (talk) 09:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
