Great section on Tlacaelel
That is really well written. I'm not sure if it's any shorter than what was there before but it is absolutely a lot more to the point. It really gets across how important he was. Thanks! --Richard 03:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Glad you liked it. I'm not sure it's any shorter, either. : ) Madman 04:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Expanding the expansion section
I expanded the section describing the geographical expansion of the aztec empire and made map based on Ross Hassigs Aztec Warfare. I also edited some parts downplaying Tlacaelel a wee bit (the reign of Tlacaelel for example (he wasnt a ruler)). And emphasizing the actual exploits of the different Tlàtoanis.

Population figures missing
There needs to be information here on the population of Mexico throughout its various time periods. Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 03:09, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Merge article with Aztec or Aztec Empire?
This article appears to duplicate material appearing in other articles. I think it should be merged with either Aztec or Aztec Empire, but would like to hear other comments from Wikipedians. Amuseclio (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Amuseclio
- Yes, both of those have longer & I think better accounts, except that this may cover the very early history better. There is duplication between those two as well. I agree this should be merged. I don't feel strongly to which, but perhaps Aztec Empire. This discussion should be advertised at those talks as well - not sure if a 3-way merge template is possible.

- To me it appears to be a slightly larger problem. For example the Aztec article which should be adequately covered by the Nahuas and the Mexica articles. --Bejnar (talk) 19:53, 28 April 2018 (UTC)]
- I agree there is no simple answer. I do note that Aztec indicates, disentangling "Aztec" and "Nahua" and other Mesoamerican groups is not easily done, but we should make readers aware of the complexity. So, for me, I would be for merging History of the Aztecs with either Aztec or Aztec Empire. I don't think we need a proliferation of articles that get few pageviews and duplicate information accessible in WP articles with a greater readership.Amuseclio (talk) 22:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Amuseclio]
- The Aztec empire was a political organization, the Aztecs are a cultural group. They are two distinct topics. The article on Aztec Empire should have a history section written in summary style which should have a "main" link to "History of the Aztecs" or "History of the Aztec Empire". So I also oppose: let's keep separate things separate.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 05:18, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- If we are going to maintain a "History of " article it should be the best and most and comprehensive article on that topic rather than, as at present, the 3rd best, with better coverage of the history at A and AE. This could be achieved by large transfers between them and "History". Johnbod (talk) 16:10, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Perhaps Aztec should just be a disambiguation page, pointing primarily to (1) for ethnicity to Mexica Mixicas were a Nahuatl-speaking indigenous people of the Valley of Mexico, known today as the rulers of the Aztec Empire. (2) for empire to Aztec Empire and (3) for full history to History of the Aztecs, with (4) a other uses section. --Bejnar (talk) 18:42, 3 May 2018 (UTC)]
- No it should not. Because "Aztec" or "Aztecs" is a major topic with a gigantic body of literature about it. And that literature is what the article on Aztecs covers. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:50, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- It sounds exactly like your providing the reasons why a disambiguation page would be useful. Lots of material, variety of topics, etc. --Bejnar (talk) 15:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- I go back to my argument that the number of pageviews for a WP article is an important factor to consider. Amuseclio (talk) 04:41, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Amuseclio
Spaniards vs Spanish
I wonder, why are the conquistadors in this article called "Spaniards" and not "Spanish". Would it not be better to call them "Spanish" to signify their allegiance to the Spain (state), rather than their ethnicity?
