'Pozole' is also the process of dissolving bodies in lye made famous by 'El Pozolero del Teo'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evildave (talk • contribs) 05:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Shockingly level of generalization

This:

"The conjunction of maize (usually whole hominy kernels) and meat in a single dish is of particular interest to scholars, because the ancient Americans(which?) believed the gods made humans out of masa (cornmeal dough)."

...is a highly contentious statement.

I'm pretty sure the Inuit as well the Pacific Northwest tribes had no such legend since it's unlikely, especially the former, were ever raising tons of corn.

And given the disparate lifestyles, cultures and languages that developed even within the Mesoamerican/corn sphere (so to speak) such generalization is, well, silly.

Needs to be sourced at the very least.

Unreliable sources... "of a commercial nature"

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

One type of unreliable source not allowed on Wikipedia is sources "of a commercial nature". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and everything has to be backed up by reliable sources. No, Wikipedia is not a food blog and you can't advertise your business via Wikipedia. If what you write is true, you should be able to cite reliable sources. If you can't, your content may be challenged with a ^{[citation needed]} template and if no reliable source is added the content may be removed. Notice that I left one source there because it wasn't blatantly commercial. If UNAM really studied posole and cannibalism, it should be published in a reputable scientific journal. If not it can be removed. Senor Cuete (talk) 16:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Reference 11 is not a valid reference link any more

Talking about: [11] Pozolli. (n.d.). Nahuatl dictionary. Retrieved 28 August 2012, from http://whp.uoregon.edu/dictionaries/nahuatl/index.lasso

As I tried today, the link only returns a 404 error from the uoregon server. I can done the Nahuatl dictionary under a new address but the Pozolli entry does not support the given context in the article: https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/content/pozolli

Should it be removed or updated? VulpeX2Triumph (talk) 15:27, 13 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I tried finding an archived version of the page via the Internet Archive but didn't succeed. Considering this, it seems best to either find a new reliable source that sufficiently supports the content as written or else to update our text to reflect what the current version of the Nahuatl dictionary actually says.
