Talk:Golden Age of Mexican Cinema

Too much enfasis on Pedro Infante... as if he were the be all and end all of Mexican cinema. Without Jorge Negrete, there would not have been a Pedro Infante, period. So, this is a rather shallow treatment of a grand era of movie-making. No mention is made of Joaquín Pardavé, Marga López, Syliva Pinal, Tin-Tan, Santo, Clavillazo, Resortes, Ricardo Montalbán, Angélica María, Ignacio López Tarso, Pedro Armendáriz, Fernando Soto "Mantequilla," Armando Soto "El Chicote," etc.

There were many more genres than what this article gives credit for, for example, crime, film noir, historical, femme fatal genre (with María Félix and later with Ana Luisa Peluffo, again, etc.

This article really does a disservice to the Golden Era of Mexican Cinema by just blindly extolling the obvious icons of the era. There was really a lot more genres and diversity in the films that need to be represented in this article for it to accurate.

Fair use rationale for Image:Aguila o sol screenshot.PNG

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Actors and actresses list
(along with several what I suspect to be closely related IPs) keeps insisting on adding a nearly endless list of red links, bad links and DABlinks to the "Actors and actresses" section. I've explained to them why they should stop doing this at User talk:Maythetriana, but have not gotten a response so far. Anyway, I see you've both fixed DABlinks on this page since they most recently restored their version list (and they even un-piped the fixed links in between - strange!), so I thought you might want to be aware of this in order to not waste any more time in case it happens again.

 * Thanks. identified similar behaviour on various Indian film articles some time ago. I wonder if it is the same editor?&mdash; Rod talk 09:06, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, the Bollywood troll. No, I'm quite sure it's not the same editor, or even similar editors. To me it seems that this one is not a troll, but merely someone singularly focused on this list of Mexican Golden Age actors, maybe indeed an expert as they claim; but utterly unaware of how Wikipedia works, and so far apparently unwilling to learn.

 * This looks different from any of my nuisances in Indian or Japanese film (all of whom have been refreshingly quiet this year). I DABfixed in Golden Age of Mexican cinema this April, and slapped on an alumni tag. I sampled a few of the redlinks; some have articles in eswiki, but by no means all. ill links to eswiki articles could help our readers, but an indiscriminate morass of unsourced redlinks does not; I agree with their deletion.

 * I've just remembered this diff from 21 April 2021 - articles about an actor exist in both enwiki and eswiki, but reveal no connection to Mexico. Narky Blert (talk) 09:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

broken link
I removed the "The 10 Best Mexican Movies in IMDB.com" external link because it sends to a different site with a lot of spam and pornographic content. I couldn't find any top 10 list on IMDB to replace it with. Osw719 (talk) 17:01, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
