Santa Ana CantonSanta Ana Canton, Costa Rica – Dab from Santa Ana Canton, Ecuador. Felipe Montero (talk) 14:09, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Useful and immediately helpful information for readers. See Santa Ana (disambiguation), for many other possible confusions. The translation of terms like district, department, canton, and so on is variable; readers need all the help they can get. Let's give them some! NoeticaTea? 07:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A Guidebook for future editors

[edit]

Hello Wikipedia Editors! I´m Marigoldhill, the guy who wrote the History, Culture and a few other sections on this page. I am currently working on fixing a few mistakes I have found on the page, and improving it in the process. This guide has been made for any editor who is interested in improving this page, and is meant to be a place to find sources to start research on, aswell as a place to come back to whenever you need too. The following will be a list of sources I have found in my research, that I have not added to the page, and whose information may help improve it. This list will be split up by sections corresponding to the section of the page that each source may help improve. Feel free to only read the sections you need or are interested in! There is no shame, don´t worry. Best of luck! (Note: all titles will be written in this template: Title (Year) - Author )

History (All)

-Recursos socioculturales del cantón de Santa Ana (~1998) - Jorge Luis Acevedo; I can´t pin an exact date to this one, but it was likely published sometime in the 1990´s. A bit difficult to find, however I did manage to find it in the Santa Ana library (might be at the Nacional Library too? might be worth checking). This book is seemingly where most sources get their information about the canton, and I believe the TicoTimes based their article on the history of the canton on this book. This TicoTimes article is also a mayor source of the entire Wikipedia page. If honest I´m a bit intimidated and afraid of this book (which is partially a joke, partially not) since it could pretty much change everything I´ve writen in this page, but if you ever manage to find it, it is a good resource to factcheck this article with.

-Santa Ana Limites del Nuevo Cantón (1908) - Octavio Quesada; The best way to describe this is that it is a ghost. I read a bit of it before I think it was removed from the HathiTrust, if I remember correctly the website said it was still in a few libraries in the U.S. Definitely the most difficult to find but could be very valuable seeing as it is the oldest source about the canton I could find.

History (pre-Columbian / Early History)

-Garcimñoz: la cuidad que nunca murio (1993) - Carlos Molina Montes de Oca ; mentioned by name in the Garcimuñoz Spanish Wikipedia page, this is might be a good place to start if you want to add information to this section of the Santa Ana page, or create the English translation of the Garcimuñoz page.

Culture

-Expresiones Culturales de Escazú, Mora Y Santa Ana (2010) - Yanory Álvarez Masís and Sonia L. Gómez Vargas; also has a brief History section, which might have information worth adding too. So it could be used for both of these sections.

If you find any other sources you believe the future or current editors of this page might find useful, feel free to reply with them. Thank you!
