Talk:Party of the Democratic Revolution

Policies?
Some examples of their politics would be most welcome. Unfortunately I don't read spanish. 84.48.194.162 23:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I also am wondering why there is nothing on their policy positions here. The articles on the other two major Mexican political parties include at least some information on where they stand. Joamiq (talk) 15:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Six years on, and still little information on their policies Ceagull (talk) 06:59, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Felipe Calderón
I feel it is not neutral to say that Felipe Calderón made claims to victory, when López Obrador did the same thing. I feel it shows Calderón in a pretty bad way, and anyways Calderón shouldn't even be in this page since he is a candidate from another party. El Os  o  23:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Video scandals
I think the video scandals shouldn't have place at this page because other parties have also been involved in other corruption circumstances (and even worse than this) which are not mentioned on their pages. To be objective, the information on every party should be equal, which means that some specific information should be included or not, but not only on one side and not on the other. In case it is included, this should also be in a complete version and not only containing half of the truth, because objectivety is lost. Aldera 01:47, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Changes
Michaelas10, please note that I have restored the PRD page to its version before the recent changes. Please note that the editor also attempted to make the same changes on the Felipe Calderon page, but the changes were (not by me) reversed. In restoring this page, please consider whether a 2006 Presidential Election section is even appropriate. The PAN (Conservative Party) page does not include it. Would it be appropriate to begin one? I'd rather not see one, on either the PRD entry, or the PAN entry. 69.211.11.21 13:09, 19 December 2006 (UTC)]

History
The History section mentions that the Frente Democrático Nacional's candidate, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas won the 1988 Federal Election. While this is a common belief in Mexico, the source of the information is not well documented, and so, displaying these events in such a way could result in an argumentative, biased article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.76.167.33 (talk) 15:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Social democracy & Marxism
Does it really make sense to identify the ideology of the PRD as both Social democracy and Marxism when they both completely contradict each other? I'd say the party leans closest to Democratic Socialism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.169.31 (talk) 19:29, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Agree on the rationale above, but I'm tempted to remove "Democratic Socialism" as this is different from "Social Democracy". There is, however, confusion in the very core documents of the PRD. Although the party presents itself as "aspiring to build Democratic Socialism", it doesn't advocate for any type of communal or social ownership (apart from the re-implementation of agrarian Ejidos) and doesn't aim at opposing Capitalism (only its "Neoliberal variant"). This is typical of a social democratic programme, not a socialist one. Marxias (talk) 13:09, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

PRD is a social democratic party, not a marxist party
Hello, PRD's official ideology is not marxism, is socialdemocracy. I'll edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.135.190.12 (talk) 21:38, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Proposed edits
Hello, I am working on this article for a class assignment, the banner of which I have added to this talk page. I will address some of the problems that have been pointed out such as the limited view of the history of the PRD. I would like to divide the history into a chronological order which would include how the party was founded. I would also like to integrate the controversies into the history section since as many have pointed out, it having its own section does not provide a complete and unbiased view to the political party. I would also add a section on ideology

I would also like to add a section on the current structure and composition of the political party. The section on current structure and composition would include information on the separate factions of the PRD as well as how the president, secretary, and other positions are chosen.

Another section that I would be interested in adding would be policy positions. The information I have found so far is based on the state. So, I would appreciate any information on the policy positions of the entire party instead of just one candidate or one state.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to edit this article! Nnlpz (talk) 22:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Review of Article PJHC
Your expanded contribution improve your article since your initial contribution. I enjoyed reading your article and I believe that any general audience would be able to understand your topic. I could not find any major spelling or typo errors in your new text except the “Which” sentences that need something at the beginning of the sentence to form a complete sentence. For your final contribution, I think you can post more links on other articles to direct more traffic to your page and add to the “see also” page. I think adding content on the achievements of the party and the reforms it has brought to Mexico would be helpful as well. Pictures would also help to make the article more aesthetically pleasing and can potentially aid in visualizing various concepts. Overall, great job!

Peer Review Comments
Your expanded contribution to this article really improved the comprehensiveness of the article. I liked that you included vital sections, such as “Principles” and “Internal Organizations” that described very important characteristics of the Party of the Democratic Revolution. There were a few grammatical errors in terms of incomplete sentences throughout the text but I liked that you used bullet points to make the principles section really concise and easy to read. Your formatting, readability, and neutrality were all in line with Wikipedia guidelines. In addition, your use of tables to visually represent the information was extremely successful. Overall, I would recommend expanding on the political climate in the history section in order to provide more context to the decades of PRD rise to power. Great job and keep up the good work!
