• Featured list candidates/Municipalities of Querétaro/archive1

Nominator(s): Mattximus (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC) and Coyatoc (talk)

One more list to add to the collection. I'm happy to keep working on the project of bringing all list of municipalities in Mexico to a high standard (12 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) 20:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Comments

• Caption of the middle image is a sentence fragment so doesn't need a full stop

• Done

• Shouldn't La Cañada sort under C, in the same way that song titles/film titles/etc that start with "The" sort on the next word?
  • Hi! I can help Mattximus with these, let me know if the feedback format needs to be improved, first time :) Spanish supports both, it's correct for La Cañada to show either under L or under C. Articles are included in the default sorting of these tables. Coyatoc (talk) 20:28, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
• El Marqués seems to have almost exactly doubled in population in 10 years. Do we know why this is? It seems so striking that I don't know whether it's worth mentioning in the lead.....?
  • It's part of Querétaro City's metropolitan area, one of the fastest growing in Mexico. I could add a note to that effect in the opening paragraph. Coyatoc (talk) 20:28, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
• That's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:57, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support - apologies for forgetting to check back until now...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:24, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Support – I have no major issues with this list and am happy to support right away. One small adjustment you could consider: you refer to the capital city as "Querétaro City" in the lead, "Querétaro" in an image caption, and "Santiago de Querétaro" in the table. Picking one name and sticking with it would probably be better. RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:51, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Done.

• The name of the municipality is Querétaro, I standardised it in the article. Coyatoc (talk) 20:42, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Image review

• Don't duplicate the caption in ALT text.

• Done

• An image is missing ALT text.

• Done

• Don't use fixed size for images (250 px in this case) Better use "|upright=" parameter.

• Done

• Image licencing is fine.

• • Thanks for the image review! I believe I've addressed all concerns. Mattximus (talk) 22:02, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Pass for image review. Any comments here would be appreciated. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 08:41, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Pretty short article, but eh, a list's a list. GeraldWL 15:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Resolved comments from GeraldWL 01:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

* "Every three years, citizens elect a municipal president (Spanish: presidente municipal)"-- suggest putting the translation in a footnote. As well as the other translations. "Map of Mexico with Querétaro highlighted"-- suggest adding comma between "Mexico" and "with" For these two, they would break the consistency between all the other municipalities of Mexico list, and I don't think a comma belongs there. Sounds reasonable. Suggest removing the municipalities names as it's redundant; for example "Corregidora was originally incorporated as San Francisco Galileo, changing its name on May 28, 1931" --> "Originally incorporated as San Francisco Galileo, changing its name on May 28, 1931" There is a problem with this suggestion, if the name is removed, readers can't scroll to the notes and see a list of the original names, they would then have to reverse click to see what the context was. Well the whole point of footnotes is to assist readers while reading the table; if a reader directly jumps to the footnotes then yes they won't understand, because that's not what footnotes are made for. But what harm is there for readers that do this to keep the extra word? I've done this before and it's helped me. I can see no reason why we can't accommodate both types of readers, nothing is lost. True. Don't mind this then :) For ref. 5 and 6, remove the authors, as staff writers should not be incorporated. I do not believe in either case it would be considered staff writers, I could be wrong. It is actually, it's like saying "NYT Staff" or "LAX Airport" in articles written by NYT or LAX Airport. In this specific case, the format is to indeed include OECD as the authour: see [2] Still, OECD is not an author because it isn't a person. The "OECD author" is merely referring to staff writers, and we don't indicate it if there's a staff writer. Suggest changing "INEGI" to "National Institute of Statistics and Geography" as the official name (INEGI is abbreviation). Needs consistency on whether to link publishers or not. Done. Suggest adding Geography portal. Which specific geography portal did you have in mind? I have it linked to Mexico portal already. The portal. Since this article has elements of Mexico and geography, but this is super trivial tbh.  Done Thank you for the suggestions, I've made several but had questions/comments on others. Thanks again!

Comments by Dudley

• "According to the 2020 Mexican Census, it is the twenty-first most populated state". I think you should twenty-first say out of how many states, as otherwise there is no indication of how it ranks among the states.
• "administratively autonomous of the state" Perhaps "administratively autonomous of the state government".
• " municipal council (ayuntamiento) responsible for providing all the public services for their constituents" All? Below you say central and state governments are responsible for some public services. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:30, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Mattximus: Did you see the last set of comments? Are you still pursuing this nomination? --PresN 16:12, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

I completely missed these last 3 suggestions, thanks for the ping will get to them this weekend! Mattximus (talk) 02:42, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Mattximus ping me if you need a final review to push this over the line. I'm sporadic at the moment but should be able to find a bit of time if you think it would help. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:33, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Source review passed; promoting. --PresN 14:06, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
