María Santos Gorrostieta Salazar
really nice work. i have one question - some sources say her first husband was a mayor as well... did you find this to be true? i also couldn't find anything about her work as a physician. Decora (talk) 05:11, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, José Sánchez Chávez was the mayor before his wife. It says that he was the "anterior alcalde" ('previous mayor'). I'll add the information.


 * Some Mexican sources say that the guy was believed to have ties with organized crime... I'm not sure if I should add that information because it might be pushing for speculation. Maybe when some arrests are made new information will come out. ComputerJA (talk) 06:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * thanks for clarifying. i think an English source mentioned that speculation too... it was the LA Times link. but i would like to know more about this before writing about it - for example, who exactly was claiming this? I don't see much info out there. Some English sources are also reporting her second husband has gone missing. Decora (talk) 07:02, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

According to El Universal, after the attack on the couple in January 2010, Sánchez Chávez reportedly "knew exactly where the threats were coming from." This other article, which is boring and hard to read even for me, implies that his husband and his brother had ties with one of the two cartels in the state. I'll see what I can do to take care of this. This article is about María Santos, not about his husband. I don't want to start drawing the dots myself ... I'll wait for the police to draw them first (if they ever do). That's just me, but do you think we should include the information?

As for his second husband, he [Nereo Patiño Delgado] and María Santos had separated 15 days before the attack, but he was called in to declare already. The source does not say if he is a suspect, however. ComputerJA (talk) 09:03, 3 December 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks for the information, i appreciate it. i dont really think its worth it to include it because it is too vague - what does "has ties" mean? the LA times implies that Maria had to deal with accusations against accusations about her husband - did she? is there a quote anywhere of her doing that? i havent found one. having come off the Alistair McAlpine article i have become very cautious about including anything even remotely speculative in a biography - i prefer to wait until several news outlets have confirmed something. people have too many agendas and is too easy to get mislead. thanks again.

 * Sounds good to me. I feel the same way. Thanks for the help. ComputerJA (talk) 01:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
