Mexico articles by quality statistics

 * style="vertical-align:top;" |

General strategy

 * 1) Bring our identified core topic articles (about 160) up to an agreed standard of quality. This work is coordinated through the COTF.
 * 2) Add a further list of "key topics" which includes many more specific subjects (important historical figures, etc.), as discussed here.
 * 3) Integrate suitable featured articles and the key quality articles identified by our contacts with WikiProjects into the core or key lists.
 * 4) Organize the articles in a coherent way, and identify any significant missing topics or articles needing urgent review. Integrate articles with suitable support material (lists, etc.).
 * 5) Identify any possible publication problems, agree on suitable publishers, pricing, media.
 * 6) Issue a final list of articles for publication. Ideally these would be reviewed by subject experts, and validated versions identified before publication and publish, on DVD, CD, paper or some combination.

Discussion forums

 * /Terminology: Discussion forum for terminology and translation issues. For example: ministers or secretaries? Federal deputies or congressmen? ¿El jefe delegacional en Álvaro Obregón?
 * /Strategy: Strategy and structure. For policy discussions on how to title articles, how to categorise, etc.
 * /Community: Noticeboard for editors interested in Mexican articles. Basically, a community forum: use it to list articles you'd like other participants to take a look at or get a second opinion on, call attention to content disputes, post alerts, or advertise your willingness to meet up in (e.g.) Acapulco next month.

Naming conventions
States names
 * Mexican states are located at "Statename". See earlier discussion at Talk:States of Mexico. Example: Baja California, Jalisco.
 * If the state name is not the primary topic, then the article name is "Statename (state)". Example: Chihuahua (state), Hidalgo (state).

Municipalities names
 * Municipalities are at their base name if not ambiguous and merged with their homonymous cities and towns. Example Atizapán de Zaragoza.
 * For municipalities whose homonymous cities and towns are split, it is "Municipalityname Municipality" or "Municipalityname (municipality)" only if disambiguation is needed. Example: Acapulco (municipality), Zitlala Municipality.
 * If further disambiguation is needed, it is "Municipalityname (statename), Statename" or "Municipalityname Municipality, Statename". Example: La Paz Municipality, Baja California Sur, Aldama Municipality, Tamaulipas.

Cities and town names
 * Cities and town articles are at their base name. Example: Hermosillo, Coatzacoalcos.
 * If disambiguation with another city (Mexican or foreign) is needed, use the "Cityname, Statename" format: Nogales, Sonora, Nogales, Veracruz, Nogales, Arizona.
 * If a state and a city share a name, use the "Cityname (city)" or "Cityname City". Example: Veracruz (city) and Veracruz or San Luis Potosí City and San Luis Potosí.
 * If ambiguity might exist because of other uses within the same state, use "Townname, Municipalityname": Buenavista, Tultitlán
 * In the rare event two or more cities or towns are located within a state, use "Town, Municipality": Acalmani, Ayutla de los Libres and Acalmani, Igualapa. You can further disambiguate with "Townname, Municipalityname, Statename" if there are other uses of that term outside that state.

Notes
 * For ease of linking, unnecessary disambiguation links can be created: Aguascalientes (state), Ecatepec, Mexico, etc.
 * A Sometimes cities and municipalities have independent articles (Matamoros, Tamaulipas [city] and Matamoros Municipality, Tamaulipas [municipality]).
