The climate within the state of Veracruz varies a great deal depending on location, elevation etc. The climate chart in this article does not reflect that. Is it for the CITY of Veracruz? If so, it should say so. It would be better, I think, to state that the climate varies greatly within the state and then, if possible, give a climate chart for say the city of Veracruz and another for the city of Xalapa as examples. I would do it but I do not know where the data for the climate chart came from, or where to get such data for say Xalapa. Jbuddenh (talk) 17:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please comment on this topic because this state has a strong influence of people from Canary Islands. The so called "blood tax" and other economical struggles pushed this very interesting spanish-berberic people to move to different parts of the new world. It is not a casuality the very distinctive way of the use of andalusian spanish in the Veracruz region. Categoricaly it is from Canary Islands its origin. Expose this truth to the wikireaders and to the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.79.69.56 (talk • contribs) 17:38, July 21, 2008

Why does the history start in the 1500s? There were people with their own history in that region before the Spanish.74.89.191.93 (talk) 20:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Anonymous, July 2010Reply

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Veracruz's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I think that this Article (Veracruz) should be change to the Mexican state official name which is Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave.

Can someone verify the IPA transliteration on the name? It looks inconsistent to me, e.g., there are two different transliterations for "de"

the city of Tampico wich territorially belongs to the state of tamaulipas, and its metropolitan area, are not part or nor have extensions on the state of Veracruz, the small urban area of Veracruz side of the river belongs to another municipality of the state of veracruz and not to tampico one,
therefore, I will modify the part where is says that the largest metropolitan of the state of veracruz is "Tampico" is not true, in fact the largest metropolitan area of the state of veracruz-llave is Veracruz - Boca del Rio or in spanish, "zona conurbada de veracruz-boca del rio", — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.129.186.43 (talk) 00:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thelmadatter has reverted my edits to the section on fisheries. If you read the linked species articles you will see that there are NO Trout and NO Tilapia in Veracruz, at lest of commercial interest. Rainbow trout have been introduced to a reservoir up by Cuetzalan, but I'm pretty sure that this is in Puebla. Furthermore, the commercial fisheries mentioned are marine and trout are mostly fresh-water fish. If you read the the Tilapia article you will see that they are NOT native to the western hemisphere and are fresh-water fish as well. So tell me Thelma, how is it that there's a significant commercial catch of non-existent fresh-water fish in the ocean fishery off Veracruz? Furthermore you have justified this with a dead internet link. Seriously, try to find a reliable source for this outlandish claim. Senor Cuete (talk) 02:08, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Given that this is the English wikipedia, the pronunciation given should be the one that English-speakers use, not the local Spanish pronunciation that contains sounds that anglophones can't produce. The Spanish pronunciation can be included for interest's sake only. See http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/veracruz?s=t for the English pronunciation. unsigned comment added by /184.147.133.97 (talk) 00:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
In Spanish, all nouns have gender and they have gender suffixes that must be matched by modifying adjectives. For this reason, Spanish speakers often add gender suffixes to the names of indigenous peoples. For example: Aztec becomes Azteca an Totonac becomes Totonaca. This is done to some, but not all, of the names of indigenous people in this article. For example the article uses the word "Olmec" but also "Totonacas". In English only a few nouns have genders. This is the English Wikipedia and these gender suffixes to nouns don't make sense in English. Also words like "Olmec", and "Totonac" are not Spanish words. In writing about the indigenous people of Mesoamerica, English speakers don't use these Spanish gender suffixes. For this reason I propose to eliminate these suffixes from the article.

Should this article have a flag inside the infobox? There is a discussion about it at WikiProject Mexico, where you can join and discuss it. (CC) Tbhotch™ 20:41, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
The topic is poorly covered. It’s racist. Literally lists slaves along with animals and inanimate objects. Does not recognize the forced use of native people as enslavement Elpeaelpea (talk) 03:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
