[edit] Prior Entries

There are so many sources that are on-line. Which one is correct?

Where was he born? zacztecaz Wasn't he from a the beautiful and amazingly fruitful land of Spain? For lieth to me not good sir.

"pure" and "criollo" (creole) seems like a contradiction.

In Colonial Spanish America, Crillo, creole, means a person of only European (specifically Spanish ) descent born in the Americas. A Peninsular was someone born in IBERIA but living in the Americas. In the social hierarchy, Peninsulares are usually seen as slightly "superior" to crillos, but by no means were there restrictions the Crillos' ascension.

[edit] Not Racism

Changed racism to chauvinism in the uprising section since it states that the preference was for Iberian spaniards versus Mexicans of pure spanish blood. It can't be racism between groups of the same race. Lycurgus 01:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Orozco Hidalgo mural.jpg

Image:Orozco Hidalgo mural.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
