Hello Wikipedia community, I am a student in a Wikipedia educational course and would desire to edit parts of this article. I feel as though this article can use some expansion on the 'us by the chicano movement' sections. I would like to add how this myth has been used to unite Mexican-Americans in this identity. I also would just want to add a few more sentences to the 'places postulated by Aztlán' section. The source I am using can give some more insight on this area of the topic. The source I will be using to make my edits is titled 'Aztlán: Essays on the Chicano Homeland' and it is edited by Rudolfo Anaya, Francisco A. Lomelí, and Enrique R. Lamadrid. The most recent version of this source comes from 2017, so I think it is pretty reliable. If any of the community members have any suggestions grievances or to my potential edits I will be glad to hear them. S4mon (talk) 04:50, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Location of Aztlán
At the Aztec Exhibition at London's Royal Academy of Art, a couple of years ago, Aztlán was described as being 'an island to the east.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.208 (talk • contribs) October 23, 2006 (UTC)


 * I've heard this mentioned often, but I've never found substantial evidence of it. Does anyone have confirmation that Aztlán was thought of as an island in the east? --Izzly (talk) 16:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It very clearly and emphatically was not thought to be that. This is just confusing Plato and Aztec myth because of what is perceived to be similar sounds. ·Maunus· ƛ · 16:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I enjoyed reading this article and making my evaluations on the topic. Very interesting. Arivenelle mckenzie (talk) 01:57, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I would like to know more about how the Aztlán people work. Arivenelle mckenzie (talk) 01:59, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Aztlan Location
What do you mean by an island to the east? East as in Japan, or east as some island in the Caribbean (east of Mexico)? The reason why I say Japan is that they found human remains in Hokkaido of 10,000 years ago (BCE) and the DNA of a few of the human remains was D-1 Haplogroup (which also has been traced to Mongolia, Siberia) which is the same DNA genetic markers that many of the Aztec human remains have. If Aztlan is Hokkaido, Japan, then that would make sense for we have genetic proof to do the matches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.105.217 (talk) 02:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Aztlān
I think the page for Aztlán should be divided to separate the mythical and/or historic city of Aztlān from the Chicano Youth Movement topics. I think perhaps a separate Aztlán (Political_Movement) page would be in order. Also it would seem prudent to rename the page as Aztlān in keeping with the Nahuatl language. Stormcellardoor (talk) 19:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, agree about the separate page and (partially) object to renaming the page into Nahuatl.


 * I can't speak for usage within Mexico, but in the US the political meaning is much more prevalent; however, its original idea seems to have been to reference that America really was a homeland and homecoming for Chicanos and not a place of exile. So it is somewhat appropriate to discuss it all together on the same page; although if so the page should be reworked to include more context for the modern political idea both among the Chicano movement & among anti-illegal immigrant groups.


 * If there is a separate page, it would make sense to have Aztlan (Aztec) simply be Aztlān and Aztlan (US) be Aztlán with Aztlan as a disambig between them & other uses (such as the journal.) However, if it stays one page, the most appropriate modern use is from the Spanish, I'd think. -LlywelynII (talk) 18:16, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

--Aztlan-- There are some resources connecting the Aztlan origin to Egypt as evident in the discoveries of Egyptian artifacts and underground dwellings found in the United States, mainly Illinois, Burrow tunnels and Colorado's, Grand Canyons — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.22.58.14 (talk) 13:52, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Aztlán
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Aztlán's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "WashingtonTimes": From Reconquista (Mexico):  From José Ángel Gutiérrez: Mexican aliens seek to retake 'stolen' land, Washington Times, April 16, 2006. 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ checked and what's currently present looks good... Boogerpatrol (talk) 03:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Was La Raza removed from Groups that advocate Aztlan?
I'm pretty sure it was included previously, and I don't  see any notes  that it was removed. I notice the list has changed and the Marx-Lenin group was added. 74.60.161.158 (talk) 18:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Inclusion of Neo-Nazi Author?
I noticed that neo-Nazi author Harold Covington's work is referenced in the "In Literature" section of this page. When I found it, his name was spelled wrong so the link didn't work. I fixed the link, and made it clear that he's a Nazi. However, I'm wondering if we shouldn't just remove the bullet point entirely. On the one hand, it's true and notable information (assuming that there really is a nation called Aztlán in his books- I haven't read them and don't really want to look them up). On the other, I generally feel like it's good practice to minimize Nazis' visibility online. Additionally, the edit was originally made by 23.111.165.2, an IP address that's since been blocked for edits that ranged from non-constructive to racially crude to harassment. Thoughts?

 * I think you answered you question. If its notable, then there really isn't any reason to omit it. Garuda28 (talk) 17:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

SN 1054 Crab Nebula
If this is true, then there should be links to the SN1054 section of Crab Nebula page, and a link back. This would add to Japanese and Chinese observations. But only if it is true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThomasHarrisGrantsPass (talk • contribs) 03:31, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
