Talk:Xochimilco

Pronunciation and Recording
There is an audio file placed after the Nahuatl [ʃoːtʃiˈmiːlko], but it does not have the long vowels. Judging from the vowels in the recording and the transcription, it might rather be a Spanish recording. This also poses the question if there is a Spanish pronunciation that has kept the [ʃ] from the Nahuatl loan word. If so, the transcription should be added and the audio should be placed after the correct language. – At the moment I don't feel well enough informed about American Spanish and Nahuatl to make the edit myself.

Location
According to the Mexican constitution (art. 44) the Federal District and Mexico City are one and the same thing. Therefore it makes no sense to say that Xochimilco is one of the delegaciones of the Federal District and then that it is located south of Mexico City. Even though it was not part of Mexico City long ago, it has been absorbed by it, and at least administratively, it is part of Mexico City. --Alonso 03:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Quite possibly the original contributor's intention is to provide its location relative to Mexico City's central district, ie "Mexico City" is being used as shorthand for the city's centre.
 * In any event, I think there'd be some value in splitting out material on the pre-columbian and modern-day settlements of this same name (each cross-referencing the other, naturally). Might do this once when I get a chance, unless there are strenuous objections.--cjllw | TALK  05:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Religion section needs to be cut down
This article is much too full of fine detail. Too much detail for an article on a borough in a city. The poster child for this "too much detail" is the religion section, which seems to have a catalog of every religious location in the borough. It makes sense to have an example, but not needed in each and every one in the whole place. WP is not a travel guide. Hires an editor (talk) 01:53, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Granted. Much of this eventually needs to be condensed with many of the fine details moved to small articles. However, any made before now would have been orphans. Better too much than too little at this stage. Easy enough to fix later. I agree this is not a travel guide, but it is not a quick summary either. It shouldh have a lot more than your average travel handbook. If you really want to see an article with too much detail... check Mexico City. If you want to see something with practially no information, try Iztapalapa (Im working on remedying that one now).Thelmadatter (talk) 02:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Ahuejote is not a juniper
The text calls ahuejote a "juniper" throughout and even links to the juniper article. The ahuejote tree is properly a willow. Please correct. (For the record, I think no or very few species of juniper would tolerate such waterlogged soils) -- Dysmorodrepanis 87.79.83.143 (talk) 00:56, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
