A Change of Title?

[edit]

I am not trying to make light of a serious tragedy that has happened here, but there are some who are going to see the title of this article and think that it relates in some way to Tobasco sauce. I would hate a serious article to be inudated by a series of stupid hot sauce jokes.

Would it be 'safer' to move this to 2007 Southern Mexico flood or something like that?--Donovan Ravenhull 13:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think we will have a serious problem with the title being too humorous, but the title may not be the best title because the flooding is not 100% limited to the state of Tabasco. The flooding is also in Chiapas. I did not realize that initially when I chose the title.
The Spanish Wikipedia equivalent of this article is titled "Inundación de Tabasco y Chiapas de 2007". I would be open to an alternate title that includes "Chiapas" or that generalizes to Southern Mexico.
I look forward to other opinions about how this should be named. Johntex\talk 13:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy where it is at the moment: the main focus is on Tabasco, and I can't think of anything along the lines of 2007 Tabasco/Chiapas flood that doesn't sound clunky. "Southern Mexico Flood" I don't like because it's not specific enough: southern Mexico includes Guerrero & Oaxaca as well as Chiapas, and I'm not sure whether Tabasco is best considered south or south-east (along with the Yuc. peninsula). I'll reconsider if the hot-sauce vandalism gets too intense. Aille 14:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I dont think the Tabasco sauce thing is a real concern but I do like the title of 2007 Tabasco/Chiapas flood or Tabasco/Chiapas flood of 2007. Relief efforts here in central Mexico are using both states' name in their efforts.
My students have been adding information as extra credit. This article will probably need a bit of polishing after they are done as they dont have much time to work on this and their final project. Im just working to keep their contributions from overlapping.Thelmadatter 23:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that it is high-time people realized that the "hot sauce" owes its name and germplasm to the old cultures in Mexico which developed chillies from wild herbs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.94.236.190 (talk) 02:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tabaso Flooding

[edit]


Hello. I am sending you some information about Tabasco´s flooding The flooding in Tabasco is the worst in 50 years in Mexico. The damages have been many. The rain of one week had left 80% of Tabasco under water. The government of Mexico had already sent aid to Tabasco, but it has not been enough. In Tabasco's La Venta archaeological site sandbags have been put around the giant heads carved by the Olmecs The floods were so extensive that the governor of Tabasco estimated that half of the state’s 2.1 million people were affected, said the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on November 3. At least 69,000 people had been evacuated to emergency shelters and another 350,000 remained trapped in their homes, said OCHA. Many of those forced from their homes lived in Villahermosa, 519 neighborhoods of which were flooded with water rising as high as the second floor of many homes. The rains and floods damaged roads and destroyed all crops throughout Tabasco. Mexico’s president, Felipe Calderon, numbered the floods among the worst natural disasters in the country’s history, said OCHA.

Hello Johntex I am sending you the part of the translation from the sapnish article about Tabasco´s flooding.

Flooding of Tabasco and Chiapas.

The flooding of Tabasco and Chiapas in 2007 started in October 28th in the mexican states: Tabasco and Chiapas. The cause of the flooding was that the rivers that go over Tabasco and Chiapas overflowed. most damaged placed were in Tabasco´s capital, Villahermosa, and in the municipalities from the North of Chiapas.

Flooding in Tabasco: The flooding in Tabasco is considerd the biggest natural disaster faced by Tabasco in at least 50 years. The Usamacinta and Grijalva rivers go thorugh all Tabasco. These rivers reached their highest levels and overflowed. This was because of the larger rains in all Tabasco. The flooding crisis startes in October 31 of 2007 when the capital of Tabasco, Villahermosa, floded. The floding of the capital and the floding in the rural zones represents more of the 80% of Tabasco floded.
