Wikipedia:Peer review/Himno Nacional Mexicano/archive1
This article is about the poem that is used current by Mexico as their national anthem. This was a fairly decent article, but I added some things to it, added recordings, and trimmed the lyrics down. However, I do ask that before I sent this to FAC, if the following can be checked:
- Accuracy of the article
- Freely licensed photos of anything that will relate to this article, especially for the composer of the musics and lyrics
- Copyright check for the sound files (three in total)
There was a very nice annon who did a grammar check on the article, so the prose looks good, IMHO. Any other suggestions are welcome. Zach (Smack Back) Fair use policy 07:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- It looks alright on a cursory glance. I'll get to the nitpicking later once I get a bit more time. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 19:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Alright. I've always been wondering if the story of Bocanegra and his girlfriend is actually true. It seems that the period of time he was locked up varies depending upon who's telling the story (I've personally heard accounts giving different times, such as one week). However I have to admit I don't know much else about that particular incident. Also, I'm quite certain the anthem as been shortened at least more than once. IIRC the official version changed during the Revolution and once more when the "Ley sobre el Escudo..." was published although the specifics elude me right now. In any case I'll see what I can do on the references department. I'll query some databases and see what comes up. Stay tuned! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 21:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
There are a few external links (one of which is dead) in the text that should be converted to footnotes. Looks good, though. Gflores Talk 05:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

- In the Lyrics competition section. The first external link there is broken. Also, there shouldn't be any such links within the text, only footnotes. Gflores Talk 18:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, removed. I will try to find another link that states that the contest deadline was 20 days. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) Fair use policy 00:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
