Quintana Roo

Hi, nice to meet you. I'd love to know (if you know it) what the name means. "Quintana," does that mean "fifth"? And "Roo," does it come from the verb "roer"? Or is "Roo" a Nahuatl word? Badagnani 22:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How to make redirect

Okay, what you do is you type in the "wrong" spelling of the article you'd like to redirect to the correct article into the "Search" box at the left. Then click "Go." Or you can put the "wrong" article title into the URL box at the top of your browser. You'll get a page saying "This page does not exist." Then click where it says "Start this page." All you need to do then is type #REDIRECT [[Put the correct article title here]], then "Save page." That will create the redirect you want. Make sure you're logged in or it won't let you create the redirect. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you try it and it doesn't work. Badagnani 22:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the answer!

I already added my name to the list of members of the Mexico Wiki Project. Thanks for your instructions there. So, who is active besides yourself? Is there a listserv? A welcome committee :P? --Hugo Estrada 13:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got your message. Yes, let's team up. At the very least we can invite people participating in Mexico threads into the project, and also try to keep a conversation going. Also, I know another person who may potentially contribute. He wrote practically the entire Mexico pages in the Dutch wiki. Are you really in Mexico right now? --Hugo Estrada 18:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is so awesome that you are living in Mexico. I am right now living in Washington DC. I grew up in Guadalaja, and I still miss it :) Could you please explain what an info box is and how to place there there? Maybe we can start with that project. --Hugo Estrada 02:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried writing you before, but the db was lock for repairs. I think I got what a info box is. Do you think that we may be able to get the class working on wiki Mexico to help on this?--Hugo Estrada 23:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
