Addition to Aerial warfare

Hello Edsonland. I noticed your addition to Aerial warfare. Could you provide a reference for this information?--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 07:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I'm watching your talk page, so we can talk here.--Mumia-w-18 (talk) 07:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cristero War

Sure. Try p. 484 of Patrick Maher's Mexico Handbook: "The 1917 Constitution contained many provisions to curtail the political and economic power of the Catholic Church and the governments of the 1920s were decidedly anti-clerical in their efforts to implement it. ... Catholic resistance turned to civil war (1926-29)..." Biruitorul (talk) 14:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the connection between the Revolution and the Cristero War is not a direct, straightforward one, and that's what sources say - that the latter was merely rooted in the former. But that's the point the article is making. It's not trying to draw direct lines between the two, but to say that violence continued into the late 1920s. Instead of using the rather generic term "conflict and political unrest", it's perfectly reasonable to specify, for the reader's benefit, one of the main manifestations of that violence (the Cristero War). A close or even casual reading of the sentence does not imply that it was caused by the Revolution. Biruitorul (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:32, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
