Talk:Mexico City/Centro
Add topicI reverted some additions of Wikipedia links per Project:links to Wikipedia. They were added back in. Is there a reason to believe that these links belong here despite the guideline? If not, I'll remove them again. --(WT-en) Evan 21:51, 1 January 2007 (EST)
Deletion
[edit]I deleted this review:
- Tepito Eje 1 Norte. Working hours Monday thru Sunday 9AM to 4PM. Established even before the Spanish arrived to Mexico, this is a poor worker's neighborhood with a huge street market considered one of the largest in the world. It's a bad idea going there, this is Mexico City's black market where you can buy anything on your mind from counterfeit sneakers, pirate DVD movies and smuggled electronics to narcotics and weapons. On the literate side of things there's a huge second-hand book market with no less than 150 stalls, some with second-hand soft cover novels in english. The safest way to reach Tepito is by Metro. Line B (dark green) Tepito or Lagunilla Stations will take you straight to the heart of Tepito, but again: it's not a safe place to consider visiting, is too dangerous.
It sounds like we should not encourage people to travel to such a dangerous place. --(WT-en) MarinaK 21:30, 17 September 2008 (EDT)MarinaK.
I second the deletion, though a travel warning wouldn't hurt. It is a very dangerous area.
Banner
[edit]
I don't believe the current banner effectively represents the historic center of Mexico City, and would like to replace it. Any thoughts or objections? –StellarD (talk) 23:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- The Zocalo banner we have now is a perfectly good banner, but then there's this really cool one that @ButteBag: did. Is it time for a change? Ground Zero (talk) 10:20, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sure, we could do dancers on this page and the huichol texture on the main one? Sounds good to me! --ButteBag (talk) 00:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Star?
[edit]What does this article need to get promoted to Star?
It's now got content in all sections and the total size is 80K, but as I read it, I see 2 areas I'd like to improve:
- find some good recommendations for "Budget" restaurants
- go through all the "See" listings: many haven't been verified since 2017 and prices/hours are likely to have changed
Are there other things that could improve it? Does the grammar seem okay and in compliance with the Manual of Style? Advice would be welcome... Mrkstvns (talk) 23:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
