Hasn't his art been used in Offsprings "Ixnay on the hombre" as cd art? //Daniel

Reversion[edit]

Re User:Jchild: I agree that the article needs much more context and we can even create separate articles for some of his more famous prints, but your addition was far outside our guidelines for encyclopedic writing, so I reverted and tried to move some of your information back in step by step. I hope I get to spend some time on it this weekend. This is a possible featured article candidate with enough work. Sadly I lost my collection of Posada prints in a hard drive crash, but maybe I can retrieve some of them. ~ trialsanderrors 20:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Our academic year is about to begin and I will have little time available for a while.

But I will be interested to see what you can do with the article. Re Posada images, I would be happy to share the ones I have.Jack Child 00:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, calaveras are skeleton figures that represent something or tell a story. "Jicote" means wasp. That's all there is to it. You are wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.68.176.251 (talk) 18:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some details[edit]

Calavera means Skull, not skeletion, skeleton is "esqueleto" /Andy

Fixed. ~ trialsanderrors 04:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, "calavera" is used in Mexico as a synechdoche to refer to the whole skeleton... But the question seems irrelevant now, given the (appropriate) link to the "calavera" article.

On another linguistic matter, I changed the translation of "Jicote" to "Bumblebee," which I think is correct. Almost all dictionaries get this word wrong, because it is a Mexican (and Central American) word, from the Nahuatl xicotl, and few dictionary writers are familiar with it. But the Mexican jicote is in fact a bumblebee (genus Bombus), as I can testify from personal experience, and also back up with a reference to Franciso Santamaria's Diccionario de Mejicanismos. --Potosino 14:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another reversion[edit]

I edited the part of this article that says dia de los muertos to read dia de muertos, which is the proper name of the celebration. My edit was reverted twice now, and I'd like to know why this keeps happening. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Revirvlkodlaku (talk • contribs) 03:52, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

How is his birth date February 31st?--Stuartkau (talk) 14:22, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated?[edit]

This article seems to have been last updated years ago. I wonder what new information has been found regarding this artist's life due to new technological advancements since then. ````bostonbernie

Far too much media on this page[edit]

The many images are cramping the text and need to be removed or at the very least, incorporated into some sensible galleries. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:11, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
