Talk:Cuernavaca

Comment
There is currently a redirect from Cuernavaca, Morelos to Cuernavaca, but the redirect should be replaced with an article for the municipality of Cuernavaca. gK [[User talk:GK|&iquest;?]] 13:42, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes, then we can tell the truth about the city. GeV

Some Clean-up
I've noticed a few errors in the article; one is that the word "colectivo" connects to an article about Argentinian public transportation. Besides that, so far I haven't heard anyone use the word "colectivo" for the buses in Cuernavaca. (I'm a Canadian who's been living in Cuernavaca since August.) I changed this to link the "Pesero" or "Microbus" of Mexico City, since its a much more related link.

Also, the article contains some English that needs fixing (e.g. from the Transportation section, "There is no way around" for "There's no way around it.")

Finally, as the previous quotation shows, large parts of the are worded like a traveller's guide. Another example: "Do not hesitate to order or just catch a cab in the city - it is usually very secure service." The article should present information from a more neutral perspective, rather than the local-giving-advice-to-tourist perspective.

I've started with the "Public Transportation" section.

 * The expression "colectivo" was also used in MXC, but probably younger lads don't know it; "microbus" is of relatively recent coinage (early 90's if I recall correctly), when most "peseros" were replace by small vans. Louie (talk) 01:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, I agree: some parts of the article sound like advertisement; I did a little cleanup today in the education section. Louie (talk) 01:08, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

actually the most used expression for buses in Cuernavaca is "ruta"; the terms "microbus" and "pesero" are almost exclusive of Mexico City, I've never heard those outside of the capital. Chnt 14:37, 3 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.93.16 (talk)

100 anniversary, 200 anniversary, 500 anniversary
There are celebrations for the centennial of the Mexican Revolution, bicentennial for the country (although Wikipedia often disregards this and takes 1821 as the date, irritating Mexicans. Examples: the history of the City of Los Angeles, the history of the City of San Francisco, etc.). Many of the constructions depicted on this article will be 500 years old in as soon as 11 years. There should be also 500 year celebrations for some of them.

Tourism
Wikipedia is not a tourist guide and the article on a city should not include section on specific hotels or restaurants unless they are of extraordinary importance to the city and its culture and history. Closed restaurants and hotel chains certainly do not fit that description for which reason I've removed a couple of sections on Sumiya/Camino Real and Restaurant Gaia.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Education
Should more schools be added in the list of schools in Cuernavaca? It appears there isn't enough information on education in the city, but providing a small list of schools that offer rich cultured programs can be important to emphasize learning opportunities in the city. Although putting too many may clutter the section.- BlueABC (talk) 13:31, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Corrected instances of misspelling of "Cuauhnahuac"
There were 4 instances of misspelling of the word "Cuauhnahuac" as "Cuahnahuac" and one as "Cuahnanhauc". None of this instances were backed by the references, where it was correctly spelled as "Cuauhnahuac":
 * Ref 14 is broken both in the original link and the archive, but you can see the same oficial historic text here: el soberano de Cuauhnahuac, Macuilxochitl, intentó emprender conquistas
 * Ref 15 is not accesible in the web, but it seems clear that "Cuahnanhauc" is the previous misspelling plus a typo.
 * Ref 20 Had it misspelled in the title translation but was actually correctly spelled in the original ("Museo Regional Cuauhnáhuac (Palacio de Cortés)" [Regional Museum Cuahnahuac (Palace of Cortes)] (in Spanish). INAH. 8 May 2018. Retrieved Jan 19, 2019.).
 * In ref 105 you can see it says "Museo Cuauhnáhuac, Museo Robert Brady...".

This seems to be a common misspelling of the word, but not a recognized one. Examples of this misspelling can only be found in unreliable sites like tripadvisor https://www.tripadvisor.com.mx/ShowUserReviews-g150797-d153767-r564464798-Palacio_de_Cortes-Cuernavaca_Central_Mexico_and_Gulf_Coast.html or this bookstore, where the entry for the title has the misspelling, but the actual book cover shows the correct spelling: https://www.elsotano.com/libro/cuahnahuac-1450-1675-su-historia-indigena-y-documentos-en-mexicano_10276023 On the other hand all historic or official sources show the spelling "Cuauhnahuac" and none shows "Cuahnahuac", which does not apear either in the Nahuatl dictionary from the Mexican National Antropology and History Institute (INAH) https://gdn.iib.unam.mx/diccionario/cuauhnahuac. Nor in any of the deformations of the name that the Spanish assigned to it (Coadnabaced, Coadalbaca, Cuautlavaca and finally Cuernavaca) and it would not make any sense as the roots of the word are the words Cuauitl (tree) and nahuac (close to) Ebergerz (talk) 03:46, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Mislabeled photo
I believe the photo labeled as "Villa Cuauhnáhuac" in the montage is actually the dovecote at Versailles, France. 2003:D4:E72A:DD00:1C8F:A021:A304:5CAC (talk) 09:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
