Image Tagging Image:P1000296.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:P1000296.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 07:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Why did you tag this image GFDL-presumed? If you took this photo yourself, it should be tagged GFDL-self.  If someone else took it, please note that at the image.  Thanks! - SCEhard T 05:02, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Notability of Parkview Group
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Parkview Group, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Parkview Group seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Parkview Group, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:RouteShield.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:RouteShield.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 23:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tenochtitlan

Camilla Townsend & the Cortes-Quetzalcoatl returning god claim
The article presents the idea that the Aztec may have considered Cortes to be a god to be nothing more than a "persistent myth" that Camilla Townsend's article has (triumphally) "put to rest". I just finished reading her article. She acknowledges that a great many historians have claimed this (and gives citations). She acknowledges evidence for this claim comes from the very earliest indigenous accounts, as well as earliest European accounts (barring Cortes's letters during the conquest). So in other words, Townsend is offering a "new perspective" against the entrenched claims of the literature. The article should be updated to reflect that the god claim is (1) deeply entrenched in the historical literature, (2) present in very early sources such as Codex Florentino, and (3) is disputed by some scholars, such as Townsend. Nettyl (talk) 09:41, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Additinally, scholarly responses to Townsend are many. For example Lucie Johnson's study here: http://www.wou.edu/history/files/2015/08/Lucie-Johnson.pdf Nettyl (talk) 09:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Lucie Johnson's study is an unpublished thesis, seemingly at under grad level. Could you point to some recent peer reviewed studies that accept the Cortés=Quetzalcoatl myth as a likely reality or argue against Townsend? Certainly you are right that it is deeply entrenched in the literature and continues to be repeated by scholars (Note however how Restall's influential "7 myths of the Spanish conquest" includes it - showing that Townsend's view is widely accepted among current historians of the conquest). The Florentino is hardly a very early source, and it is certainly not free from influence from Franciscan milennarianist ideology. But of course the myth is present in very early sources, such as Cortés own letters, and repeated in many other sources. It is interesting to compare the Aztec/quetzalcoatl/Cortés case with the Sahlins/Obeyesekere debate about Lono and Cook, but it is not my impression that the Aztec case has generated any similar degree of controversy. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 10:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I am not even sure why we need to describe this in the article about the city. It would make more sense to have this issue described in Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire or some such place.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 10:36, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Townsend's own article contains many citations of important histories containing the claim. I think that's enough demonstration. Her article, no matter how highly one may think of it, is arguing against the grain, and is no refutation as the article previously claimed. We would need a source that claims that the historical field was swept by Townsend's article and it has become the dominant view. Or, several recent surveys that accept her thesis. Regardless, I agree, the whole subject doesn't really belong here. There is already a more nuanced discussion of the topic in the article about Moctezuma. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.254.23 (talk) 04:38, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Tenochtitlan moved to Tenochtitlän
I can't see the reason for this move. I'm tempted to move it back, but I'd be interested in hearing arguments first. What's the diaresis indicating? –Hajor 13:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd like to know as well, but in the mean time I'm moving it back, as this seems very uncommon at the least (2 google hits for "Tenochtitlän", one in German). -- Infrogmation 16:35, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Nahuatl phonology. The final A is long (unlike the first three vowels which are short), so it is indicated with a diaeresis as per Nahuatl orthography.  It should be fine—Tenochtitlan redirects here. - Gilgamesh 01:52, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I removed the following phrase from the article:
 * "Nähuatl Tenochtitlän".
 * While some transcription systems do use diaereses (or acute accents, or macrons, or doubled letters) to indicate Nahuatl vowel length, it is extraordinarily unusual. It is not used by the Mexican govt. in its bilingual publications, or by the Nahuatl wikipedia, or the Summer Institute. Writing the language name "Nähuatl" in English is unwarranted, too.
 * Instead of opening up this can of worms, surely the IPA string indicating how the name is pronounced is enough? Could someone upload a sound-file of a native speaker saying the name? That'd help. too. –Hajor 14:41, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I can´t see either a reason for using diaereses, at least not in the title of an article, its the first time i see this use. Nanahuatzin 21:34, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * However, "Tenochtitlán" is used very frequently. I might not be surprised if it is used more frequently than Tenochtitlan, but as a native speaker, that's the way I've always heard it. --Tito xd 07:31, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

"Moctezuma II, thinking Cortés to be the returning god Quetzalcoatl, welcomed him with great pomp." - I thought that Moctezuma was sceptical as well and even though he welcomed Cortes he also asked him to leave?

 * Moctezuma tried to divert Cortez, he was very afraid, and even tried to send someone who pretend to be Moctezuma. Altough a lot of aztecs were skeptical, Moctezuma seem to believed until the end int the return of Quetzalcoatl. Moctezuma complied with every petition of Cortez. He baptisized, accept to be under King Carlos, gave him every present he could think of, and forbit human sacrifice. Nanahuatzin 02:06, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Merge from the Aztec article
The article on the Aztecs is getting huge, 59k at last count, and we should probably start doing something to break it up into smaller pieces, ala the History of Greece, Inca Empire and a bunch of otherwise large historical pages. Merging the info about the Aztec capital seemed a good place to start. --Fxer 02:35, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Agreed. There is actually quite a bit of information in Aztec that should probably be here.--Curtis Clark 04:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

History
I feel that there needs to be more detail about the meaning of the "eagle perched on a cactus with the snake in its mouth". If possible, I would like to edit this to talk about the following (really horrible point form :P):

 * A tribe member of the Aztecs had a dream where one of the gods they worshipped told him and his tribe to go on a journey in search of a place to build the world's mightiest empire.
 * They would know where to build the empire by seeing an eagle with a snake on its mouth, perched on a cactus.
 * When they arrived in Texcoco, the peoples of the area were not happy of thier arrival so they chased them around the lake's perimeter.
 * They kept on moving around the lake until one morning, a tribe member woke up to see the sign on a rocky isand in the lake's center.

Is this okay or should we put this in another article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HopieG (talk • contribs) 21:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This is mentioned here in this article and in more detail in the History of the Aztecs article. If you feel that the discussion in History of the Aztecs is too scanty, then by all means add to it as long as you provide good citations.  Discussions of Aztec history separate from Tenochtitlan, however, do not belong in this article.
 * Hope this helps, Madman (talk) 20:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I never did get a chance to read the History of the Aztecs page until you mentioned it. I suppose it's good enough. Thanks! HopieG (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

This section on population should be revised. People cite Wikipedia saying that Tenochtitlan was the largest in the world when Cortes showed up. But you can look at List_of_largest_cities_throughout_history and its references to see that many other cities such as Beijing were much larger in 1500 AD. 2601:7:5400:1BB:84C:BB6D:1932:8A52 (talk) 23:08, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Can someone check the source cited, and exactly what it says? It seems highly unlikely that an Mesoamerican city was larger than the largest cities in China/Asia in the 1500s. If no one can back up this claim, I suggest we change it to "largest in America" (if a source for that can be found). 106.188.14.194 (talk) 09:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Panorama image of Tenochtitlan
I think El Co was right to change the attribution for this panoramic depiction/reconstruction of Tenochtitlan in the article from Gerardo Murillo, aka Dr. Atl, which was done in this recent edit. I can't find any reliable source that credits Dr Atl, only wiki mirrors and other sources likely using wikipedia as the base; we have only the statement in the original upload msg by Shanel that credits to Dr Atl.

However, I think that now it is attributed to the wrong Covarrubias—I'm reasonably certain that it's not the more well-known Miguel responsible, but his younger brother Luis Covarrubias, and that he (Luis) executed the original in 1964. I realise that in the caption on p.184 of Michael E. Smith's The Aztecs (a reliable and eminently qualified source) the text attributes the painting shown to Miguel; however many more sources, including guides produced by the Museo Nacional de Antropología, Richard Townsend's Aztecs etc credit the work to Luis. I'll marshal up some sources. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 07:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing my modification. I changed Dr. Atl by Miguel Covarrubias, because when I searched in Google Books, the only reliable source I found credited Miguel Covarrubias. As I didn't search very long time, I've tried now to find more reliable sources crediting Luis Covarrubias, and I've found, in Arqueología mexicana (one of the most reliables scientifics reviews about Mesoamerica) :
 * vol. XII, n°68 (july-august 2004) : Teresa Rojas Rabiela, ''Las cuencas lacustres del Altiplano central, p.4.
 * vol. XII, n°71 (january-february 2005) : La ciudad de México vista desde el agua, p.1.
 * vol.XV, n°86 (july-august 2007), p.72 : Illustration of the poem of José Emilio Pacheco El reposo del fuego.
 * All these sources indicate the same title for this painting : La isla de México en el siglo XVI.
 * I think we should trust these concordant sources more than Michael E. Smith.
 * El Comandante (talk) 09:55, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree fully. It seems to be Luis Covarrubias (also in matters of art history Townsend must be said to be a more reliable source than Smith whose expertise is archaeology)·Maunus· ƛ · 10:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just uploaded a new photo that I took in MNA last summer, with a more accurate title : File:La isla de México en el siglo XVI (Luis Covarrubias).JPG. El Comandante (talk) 10:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys, and quick work on populating the corrections. Checking through the deleted edits on the original image, I see it was actually Nanahuatzin, not Shanel, who uploaded the original image; doubtless Javier took the photo himself. Also gather that this original photo by Nanahuatzin is of a mural copy on display at the Museo del Templo Mayor in the city centre, and not Covarrubias' original oils-on-cloth painting (shown in El C's new photo above), on display at the MNA in Chapultepec. Given that Covarrubias' painting dates to 1964, the same year that MNA's new premises at Chapultec opened, I'd presume that this original one was commissioned for the opening—Luis was one of a number of artists involved with getting it fitted out. The copy made for the Museo del Templo Mayor was evidently executed later since this museum opened only in 1987, coincidentally same year that Luis died. All this may have some implications about what license could be applicable; hard to see how either the Templo mural or MNA's painting could be Public Domain (original work executed less than 50 years ago, the artist dying only 23 years ago).--cjllw ʘ  TALK 03:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Suspected Plagiarism in "Inhabitants" Section
The following text seems to be copied verbatim from www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Aztec_civilization --or they copied it from here. (If the licensing is OK with this, please ignore this comment.)

''Sahagún reports that the city also had beggars (only crippled people were allowed to beg), thieves, and prostitutes. At night, in the dark alleys one could find scantily clad ladies with heavy makeup (they also painted their teeth), chewing tzicli (chicle, the original chewing gum) noisily to attract clients. There seem to have been another kind of women, ahuianis, who had sexual relations with warriors. The Spaniards were surprised because they did not charge for their work, so perhaps they had other means of support.''

The last part of the final sentence, "so perhaps they had other means of support," is omitted in the Wikipedia article. Other instances of possible plagiarism may exist, but I've not checked for them. This is my first post on Wikipedia, so please go easy on me! Dmutters (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Contradiction with other page
In the section on Cortès it is written that the Mexica saw Cortes as Quetzalquetl. Only references seem to be dating to 1972. On another Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Tenochtitlan) on the fall of Tenochtitlan however it is written: "It once was widely believed that the Aztecs first thought Cortés was Quetzalcoatl, a mythical god prophesied to return to Mexico—coincidentally in the same year Cortés landed and from the same direction he came. This is now believed to be an invention of the conquerors, and perhaps natives who wished to rationalize the actions of the Aztec tlatoani, Moctezuma II. Most scholars agree that the Aztecs, especially the inner circle around Moctezuma, were well convinced that Cortés was not a god in any shape or form.". There's a primary source to this information that is more recent than the one on this page, so anyone with more knowledge on the issue than me might want to correct this page.

Land of the giants?
I've been trying to find this ancient Mexican city whose inhabitants all seemed to vanish at one point (after being an extremely prosperous, overpopulated city) and whose architecture was so huge that the people who came to the city after the inhabitants left thought that it had been built by giants. This is the closest I could find to it. Does anybody know for sure if Tenochtitlan is the city I'm looking for? If not, do you have any idea what city I might be thinking of?

The Great Pyramid of Cholula was said to be built by water giant called Xelhua. When the primordial flood took place, Xelhua with five other Giants, managed to climb the mountain of Tlaloc and survived. He then created the great pyramid of Cholula to commemorate this event. The City of Teotihuacan was also said to have been built by water giants. (BoxRox) 10:23 5 May 2017 (UTC)

First paragraph of "The coming of Cortez/Cortés" is not written objectively
The reason given for Tenochtitlan's fall being due to Moctezuma may very well be true, but it needs to be rewritten so as not to sound subjective. The last sentence sounds like the conclusion to a persuasive essay. 2014-11-14 15:01

Invasion era - Reference to Almeria (is this an error?)

Invasion Era text confusion
The paragraph about the siege of Tenochtitlan seems to have edit confusion at the moment. It speaks of the siege, then without speaking of the end of the siege, it talks of Cortez remodelling the city- THEN it talks of "While the people of Tenochtitlan were celebrating the over 60 Spaniards who were captured, sacrificed while living and then eaten by the locals. The skins, Feet and hands of captured Spaniards were sent around the country as a warning to other tribes." I suggest that it is currently in the wrong order, but I don't understand it well enough to fix it.

Tenochtitlan/Tenochtitlán

The preferred Spanish spelling and pronunciation doesn't have an accent on the "a." In fact, the only mention of that spelling in the Spanish-language article is made in a footnote.

World Fantasy Award—Anthology

The World Fantasy Awards are given each year by the World Fantasy Convention for the best fantasy fiction published in English during the previous calendar year. The awards have been described by book critics such as The Guardian as a "prestigious fantasy prize", and one of the three most prestigious speculative fiction awards, along with the Hugo and Nebula Awards (which cover both fantasy and science fiction). The World Fantasy Award—Anthology is given each year for anthologies of fantasy stories by multiple authors published in English. An anthology can have any number of editors, and works in the anthology may have been previously published; awards are also given out for collections of works by a single author in the Collection category. The Anthology category has been awarded annually since 1988, though from 1977 through 1987 anthologies were admissible as nominees in the Collection category. During the ten years they were admissible for that category they won the award seven times and represented 38 of the 56 nominations.

World Fantasy Award nominees and winners are decided by attendees and judges at the annual World Fantasy Convention. A ballot is posted in June for attendees of the current and previous two conferences to determine two of the finalists, and a panel of five judges adds three or more nominees before voting on the overall winner. The panel of judges is typically made up of fantasy authors and is chosen each year by the World Fantasy Awards Administration, which has the power to break ties. The final results are presented at the World Fantasy Convention at the end of October. Winners were presented with a statue in the form of a bust of H. P. Lovecraft through the 2015 awards; more recent winners receive a statuette of a tree.

During the 36 nomination years, 134 editors have had works nominated; 40 of them have won, including co-editors. Only six editors have won more than once. Ellen Datlow has won 8 times out of 38 nominations, the most of any editor; Terri Windling has won 6 times out of 18 nominations, all of the nominations as a co-editor with Datlow; Jeff VanderMeer has two wins each out of seven nominations, with both wins and five nominations shared with Ann VanderMeer; Jack Dann has won twice out of five nominations; Sheree Thomas and Dennis Etchison have won twice out of three nominations, and Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki was won both of his nominations. After Datlow and Windling, the editors with the most nominations are Stephen Jones, who has won once out of fifteen nominations, Gardner Dozois, who has won once out of seven nominations, and David Sutton and Martin H. Greenberg, who each have been nominated six times without winning. Seventeen editors in total have been nominated more than twice.

Winners and nominees
In the following table, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony, rather than when the anthology was first published. Each year links to the corresponding "year in literature". Entries with a blue background and an asterisk (*) next to the editor's name have won the award; those with a white background are the other nominees on the shortlist.

Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago

Untitled
When did John Paul II elevate the see of Chicago to honorary primatial status? I thought that dignity still belonged to the Archbishop of Baltimore. Can anybody give me some info or a source? Pmadrid 07:52, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Largest Sees in the United States
More population info:
 * Chicago has 2.44 million Catholics now.
 * New York archdiocese has 2.47 million Catholics. In 2001, it had only 2.37 million compared to Chicago's 2.38, so it only inched out Chicago recently.
 * Los Angeles archdiocese, though, has 4 million Catholics. It is the largest in the United States.

Pmadrid 16:35, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Preeminent see
So I took this off the page:

 * It has been deemed by the Holy See as the Preeminent See of the United States due to the international fame and popularity of its archbishops...

I have yet to find any text from the Roman Curia or a pope calling Chicago "the preeminent see." If someone has a quote from a pope or a dicastery, please provide it. Pmadrid 14:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I know this is old, but DYK: the preeminent sees in the USA are Baltimore and New Orleans. -- SECisek 21:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Languages
First of all, the page says it ministers in four languages, then lists three. Secondly, http://www.archchicago.org/pdf/masses_in_other_languages.pdf is a list of all the languages the diocese conducts masses in...many more than either three or four. The four could come from the fact that they have three official websites: one in english, one in polish, one in spanish, and one for black catholics of chicago...black is unfortunately not a language. Anyway, that's a point that needs to be fixed.

Archbishop's Residence and other citations
I don't know if the section about the Archbishop's Residence is relevant, but the citation for it is given as [4] Archdiocese of Chicago (htm). Retrieved on 2006-04-29, which points to http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03653a.htm. I could not find anything about the residence at this site. This citation is used several times in this article in other areas and I suspect that that is could be incorrect there as well. Craig.borchardt 4 November 2006 (UTC)

good example to follow
I would like to invite the editors of this page to come see Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami which achieved Featured Article status on Dec. 8 2007. It may help you organize this page in a way that helps it be more concise and representative of what the Archdiocese is. Good luck! NancyHeise (talk) 02:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Spelling
According to http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchic.html, the name of the archdiocese in Latin is Archidioecesis Chicagiensis and not Archidioecesis Chicagoensis. Which is right? 128.111.130.97 (talk) 23:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Bot report : Found duplicate references !

Revolutionary Workers Ferment

The Revolutionary Workers Ferment, often known by its Spanish name or initials Fomento Obrero Revolucionario or FOR, was a small left communist international founded by Grandizo Munis, which arose as a split from the Trotskyist Fourth International at its Second Congress in 1948.

Though Munis and his co-thinkers carried on polemics with other currents of Trotskyst origin for three decades, and it was only in the late 1970s that a formal organization was formed. The FOR only held one international conference, at Paris in 1981. At that conference a split emerged between, on the one hand the "interior" Spanish section based in Spain, supported by the FOCUS group in the United States, and the Spanish "exile" faction based in Paris, along with the French section. The interior Spanish and American groups were expelled from the FOR.

Munis and the FOR had developed an "ultraleft" policy: they were opposed to the "Communist" states, regarding them as state capitalist; they were opposed to the capitalist system and its form of government; they did not believe in parliamentarism, political parties or trade unions; they did not believe in any kind of nationalism or national liberation struggles and affirmed the "inevitable necessity of the communist revolution on a world scale".

Sections
Groups associated with the FOR included

 * FOCUS (Trotskyism), in the United States
 * The Allarme Group in Italy
 * Synagermos in Greece
 * Allerma in Spain
 * Alarme in France

Matt Robinson (actor)

Matthew Thomas Robinson Jr. (January 1, 1937 – August 5, 2002) was an American actor, writer and television producer. Robinson was the first actor to portray the character of Gordon Robinson on the PBS children's TV program Sesame Street. When Sesame Street began in 1969, not only did Robinson play Gordon, but he also provided the voice of the puppet Roosevelt Franklin and was one of the show's producers. He left the show in 1972. In later years, when producers needed a last name for the Gordon character, then played by Hal Miller and later Roscoe Orman, they used Matt's last name.

He wrote and produced the films Save the Children and Amazing Grace in the early 1970s, and authored scripts for Sanford and Son and Eight Is Enough. In 1983, he joined the staff of the NBC's The Cosby Show as a producer and staff writer. By that time, he was beginning to show symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but stayed with the show for seven seasons despite the difficulty. He ultimately died from the disease on August 5, 2002, in Los Angeles at the age of 65.

Family, early life
Born Matthew Thomas Robinson Jr., in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Matthew Robinson Sr. and Marie (née Henson) Robinson on January 1, 1937. His father worked as a postal worker and one of the first African American columnists for The Philadelphia Independent newspaper, while his mother worked as an elementary-school teacher.

Robinson attended West Philadelphia High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before going on to Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania, and graduating in 1958 with a degree from the College of the Liberal Arts and Sciences. While at Penn State, Robinson was elected president of the Penn State Omega Psi Phi fraternity, one of the first African-American fraternities founded at a prominently African-American college or university—Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Career
In 1962, Robinson wrote a slave revolt drama titled Rained All Night.

He began his media career in 1963 as a writer, and soon after producer and on-air talent, at television station WCAU-TV in his hometown of Philadelphia. Robinson produced and hosted Opportunity in Philadelphia, a weekly televised employment service oriented toward African Americans. By televising job opportunities, Opportunity in Philadelphia sought to allay the apprehension many minorities felt when looking for work. Robinson established his talent at WCAU, ultimately leading to future successes as a producer and actor.

Sesame Street
Robinson's television breakthrough came in 1969 when he joined the Children's Television Workshop (CTW) to assist in the development of a new children's program for National Educational Television titled Sesame Street. His initial role was to produce and oversee filmed segments focusing on the diversity of different characters on the show. Robinson was eventually chosen to play the fictional character of Gordon in the series, after the performance of the character in test episodes by another actor, Garrett Saunders, did not work out as the producers had hoped. Gordon was the first character with spoken lines on the show, as a result of difficulty in finding someone to fill the figure. This was against Robinson's original intentions upon joining the show, as he preferred a behind-the-scenes role, and was initially reluctant to take the part. Dolores Robinson commented on his backseat role on the set: "He was by nature shy, and he knew that they were having a difficult time casting Gordon. And the people overseeing the taping up in the booth, peering at the monitors, kept saying, 'Matt knows what to do. He should be Gordon.'” Robinson remained with Sesame Street until 1972.

In total four actors have played Gordon. In addition to Robinson, Roscoe Orman, Garrett Saunders, and Hal Miller have filled the role. Each actor's tenure is not exactly clear with some sources citing Roscoe Orman beginning in 1974 and others in 1973. Later, when Gordon and Susan needed a surname, Robinson's was used in tribute.

Robinson wrote one of the first Sesame Street-themed storybooks in 1972, titled Gordon of Sesame Street's Storybook. It was composed of four of his originally written children stories, "No More Milk", "Fisher-Man", "Fire-Man," and "A Lot of Hot Water". The cover has a Gordon Robinson caricature reading to different children.

Roosevelt Franklin
While with CTW, Robinson also played the voice of a reddish-magenta puppet named Roosevelt Franklin. Robinson worked closely with Jim Henson to accurately design the character, the first black-influenced Muppet. Other minority-based Muppets created by Henson and Robinson were Baby Ray Francis, Mobley Mose and a Latino Muppet, A.B. Cito. Roosevelt Franklin promoted ideals such as family, pride, respect, and geography while also showing a passion for rhyming and blues music. By both creating the character and performing Franklin's voice for three seasons, Robinson helped his puppet become one of the show's main characters. In addition, Franklin continued to make appearances until 1975.

The puppet was pulled from the show because a negative perception of the character among African Americans began to grow. This resulted from Franklin's frequently unruly behavior at the fictional elementary school, which was deemed a bad example for the audience. Additional arguments for the character's departure were rooted in its overly excessive black image, or lack thereof. Dolores Robinson has stated that Roosevelt Franklin became a televised vehicle for her then-husband's anger with racism and pride in black people.

Robinson recorded and released the first Sesame Street album to be focused on a single character, The Year of Roosevelt Franklin (Gordon's Friend from Sesame Street). Released in 1971, and then re-released in 1974 under the name My Name is Roosevelt Franklin, the album dealt with many appropriate behaviors for children; aside from basic topics such as numbers and letters, it also touched on traffic safety, sharing and getting along with others. All tracks were co-written with the help of Joe Raposo. The album was again released on compact disc in 2010 as a part of a set titled Old School: Volume 2, also including "Grover Sings the Blues" and "The Count Counts".

Post-Sesame Street
Following his time with CTW, Robinson continued to produce and write for movies, television and the stage. He wrote and produced, under the direction of Stan Lathan, Save The Children (1973), a musical performance that was a spinoff of a black exposition conducted by People to Save Humanity. Robinson would continue his work as a producer and writer in the 1974 film Amazing Grace, which was about a group of neighbors seeking to overthrow some shady, money-hungry politicians.

After leaving Sesame Street, Robinson returned to Philadelphia and to WCAU-TV, where he starred on The Candy Apple News Company, a locally produced children's show where a small human cast interacted with puppets in a radio and newspaper office. Other post-Sesame Street work included writing episodes for Sanford and Son, The Waltons and Eight Is Enough, and writing and producing for CBS's children's series Captain Kangaroo.

The Cosby Show (1983–1990)
In 1983, Robinson joined the crew of NBC's The Cosby Show as a producer and writer. The family sitcom, which aired from 1984 for eight seasons until 1992, revolved around the life of the Huxtable family – an affluent African-American family in Brooklyn, New York. Robinson transitioned between writer, executive story consultant, executive story editor and soundtrack writer for over 50 episodes of the show, eventually becoming a co-producer. He acted in one episode, "Cliff's Nightmare", as a French scientist.

The Confessions of Stepin Fetchit (1993)
Written by Robinson and directed by Bill Lathan, The Confessions of Stepin Fetchit is a one-man play that focuses on Lincoln Perry, who was a popular black comic character in 1930s films but soon came under fire by civil rights advocates. The play was meant as a call to history as well as a discussion forum for reflection on Perry's life story as one of America's first black movie stars.

Awards and honours

 * Daytime Emmy Awards – 1983, nominated (along with Bob Brush, Harry Crossfield, Martin Donoff, and Howard Friedlander) for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Children's Programming-Writing for Captain Kangaroo
 * Distinguished Alumnus Award from Penn State University (1994)
 * 42nd NAACP Image Awards

Personal life
Matt and his wife Dolores had two children, Matthew Thomas Robinson III and Holly Elizabeth Robinson (born September 18, 1964), before divorcing.

Death
Robinson was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1982 at the age of 45 and battled the disease for 20 years. In 1997, during her father's struggle with the disease, daughter Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, started the HollyRod Foundation. The foundation was created to reach out to all those affected by Parkinson's disease or autism and provide medical, physical and emotional support. Located within the Center for Parkinson's Research and Movement Disorders at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, the HollyRod Foundation is able to provide low or no-cost treatment as well as various services to the underserved in greater Los Angeles. His son Matt also developed Parkinson's.

Robinson died in his sleep at his Los Angeles home on Monday, August 5, 2002, at the age of 65. A memorial service was held on the morning of Friday, August 9, 2002, at The Writers Guild of America Theatre in Beverly Hills, California. He is survived by daughter and actress Holly Robinson Peete, son and production assistant Matthew Robinson III, former spouse Dolores Robinson and five grandchildren.
