Buenos Aires

You reverted some contributions I did in the article of Buenos Aires. Please, before saying that was "vandalism" try be polite to let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Km9 (talk • contribs) 04:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Buenos Aires-Rosario-Córdoba high-speed railway

Hey Fercho85, how you doing, here Moebiusuibeom-en, in regards to Buenos Aires-Rosario-Córdoba high-speed railway, why did you remove Cañada de Gómez station and link, please note that "stations are speculative", it's most likely this station will be included as preliminarie plans indicate, Cañada de Gómez has always been a very important nucleus towards Carlos Pellegrini and all southern central fertile plains of the province of Santa Fé, if you need further information feel free to contact me, meanwhile, i have reversed said change – Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 04:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Puero Madero Tramway

Fercho85; excelente colaboración que hicistes en Tranvía del Este y Tram | South America, Argentina, y las fotos esta extraordinarias, muy bien – Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 03:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Puerto Madero

Fercho85, agregue una de tus fotos a Puerto Madero sin consultar, espero estes de acuerdo, yo no soy el de saturar articulos con info no apropiada pero para que PM se encaje y sobreponga entre los mejores, creo que no hay problema. Ahora para balancear tenemos que remplazar una de las imagenes de los rascacielos por una de las arterias de PM lleno de gente y bullicio, –, ¡avisame que te parece! Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 03:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Fotos – como andas.. quedaron re bien las fotos en el articulo de puerto madero, estaba pensando la idea de poner una galeria porque tengo un toco de fotos mas para publicar ¿que te parece?..Si te interesan fotos de transporte o edificios avisáme porque a mi tambien como te dije tengo un toco de fotos... Fercho85 04:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Aqui Moebiusuibeom, sos un muy buen fotógrafo, sobre Puerto Madero la Galeria esta interesante pero tambien debemos crear un balance, lo ideal seria crear mini galerias, digamos unas 4 fotos en diferentes articulos, Tambien esta el articulo de Buenos Aires, tiene Galeria y hay espacio para varias, en Wikimedia Commons hay tambien una colexion Buenos Aires, lo que debemos hacer es mejorar articulos articulos existentes aunque sean stubs agregandosle por lo menos una imagen y algun copy adicional, de inmediato me facinaria mejorar la sección New high-rise towers. Tambien lo que si hace falta es una Galeria de fotos para el Tren de la Costa que bien se lo merece y el Tranvia de Caballito.

ARGENTINA

Hey Fercho85, no offense, because i want Argentina to be repositioned as a was a good article nominee

I enhanced «image wise» the Layout of Article, witch suffered from

• overcrowding and clutter of images
• side by side images
• sections with unrelated images
• unbalanced layout
• inconsistent sizing of images and
• broken up sections

A proposito Fercho85, la excelente imagen del tranvia y tus fotografias te las he halagado anteriormente pero no refleja la Argentina actual ya que es solo 2 km y el sistema tranviriario no esta desparramado por toda la ciudad contrario a lo que refleja la imagen - Saludos – Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 18:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

thanks for your note. I think this is more a content dispute. Engage the other editor in dialogue on his talk page and the article talk page(s). If you cannot reach a consensus, then please follow the steps at WP:Dispute resolution. Cheers, Dlohcierekim Deleted? 05:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Please stop vandalizing

I would have to ask you to please stop vandalizing the articles related to Argentine demographics. You are deleting paragraphs with reliable and verified sources claiming that to say that there are Amerindians in Argentine's ancestry is "racist". Please read WP:CITE, WP:NPOV and WP:OR. You must provide a reliable source that claims that a research conducted by the University of Buenos Aires and endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology of the Argentine Government is racist. If you insist in reverting without complying with Wikipedia's policies, I would call the attention of an administrator. --the Dúnadan 15:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

There are several things I would like to mention:

• Since you are new, I strongly recommend that you read the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, most importantly WP:NPOV, WP:Verifiability and WP:NOR.
• I have provided a more complete and comprehensive review of Argentine demographics, fully compliant with the aforementioned policies. Neither you or any user can delete sourced content without a reason, especially not by unilaterally calling the fully verifiable sources—endorsed by the Government of Argentina—"racist" sources.
• If you have an objection to the inclusion of the sourced material, do not revert it. Present your arguments and your sources (which must be reputable and verifiable). If there are several fully qualified POVs, backed up with sources, then all POVs must be presented in the article.
• Last but not least, I am still waiting for an explanation for your uncalled-for vandalizing of my user page.

ARGENTINA

Hey Fercho85, como estas! En referencia al mensaje de arriba que te dirigi el 1 de febrero sobre las alteraciones que hicistes en la página de ARGENTINA, sección: Transportation, sobre tu pregunta: Why did you change all the images? it was ok the way it was, ¿¿como lo arreglamos??, y plise, dame la oportunidad de organizar la misma – Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 00:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Tranvía del Este

¿Que paso con el excelente mapa (TDESTE4.jpg) que colocastes en Tranvía del Este? Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 00:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:-Hola como andas.. perdona no te contestaba porque estaba de vacaciones..:s con respecto a lo del articulo en ingles de transporte quisiera saber si te parece poner en vez del tranvia un tren de TBA? esta bien la verdad que el tram no representa ni en joda al transporte de BA pero que querias que agrege una imagen del San Martin..? Despues estaba pensando de sacar el barquito ese y poner el tram que te parece?.Ah y lo ultimo..me borraron la imagen del mapa del tranvia no se porque, asi por que si creo que es por la licencia o algo igual la subo de nuevo pero decime que tengo que ponerle..bueno un abrazo salu2 Fercho85

En ARGENTINA

El Tranvia del Este saquesmoslo que no representa Argentina, ademas hay un link (no queremos tanta redundancia):

Main article: Transportation in Argentina donde esta el Tram bien puestito

Lo del TBA me parece excelente, pero acordate de que no podemos enfacitar mucho a Baires en un articulo de ARGENTINA, si queres ponelo pero dame la oportunidad ajustar las imagenes para crear un balance visual harmónico, (soy diseñador), si no esta apropiado ahi y la foto esta buena, la colocamos en otro sitio!

De la imagen del San Martin no me vengas con malas que a ese tren lo use muchisimo y que a proposito ahora lo estan arreglando poco a poco. Además es historico porque era el Ferrocarril al Pacífico; grandeza que algun dia posiblemente vuelva a tener.

La idea es presentar una ARGENTINA lo más real y al mismo tiempo, atractiva posible, yo tengo una imagen de una estación del San Martin aqui: Ciudad Jardín Lomas del Palomar

El barquito del Rio Paraná es primordial ya que representa las Exportaciones y Economia de la nación y que este renglon se esta fortaleciendo fuertemente como deve ser, especialmente desde Rosario y todo con lo de Mercosur y hasta con lo del Tren de Alta Velocidad, esta todo entrelasado, que el barquito se ve mediocre, de acuerdo, hay que conseguir otra imagen de calidad. (Ojo; el barquito podria esta cargado de Soya con rumbo a China, y los Chinos compran en cantidad y nosotros enriquesiendosnos y ademas ellos podrian esta wikipediando y leyendo Artículo y de golpe quieran invertir en nuestra querida patria asi como un puerto más grande o reestablecer las vias ferreas hacia el campo pa' que le enviemos más Soya, jaja)

PUERTO MADERO

(Hice cambio) En Puerto Madero ubique una de tus imagenes del Tram más panoramicas, donde se ve los alrededores de Puerto madero y de ahi un link al Tranvia del Este con la otra imagen de primer plano, "Panoramica a primer plano" esto crea interes, menos monotonia, variedad y más impacto. (espero estes de acuerdo)

MAPA: recuerda que toda imagen debe ser usada con los permisos del autor, yo hago mapas, podria desarrollar uno? los permisos por lo general te los dan fotografos individuales por ejemplo los que publican en Flickr, lo único que tenes que hacer en mandarle una "linda" carta y explicar como se va a usar y que ellos te aprueben

Colectivo

Fercho85; ¿¿Porque quitastes la imagen del Colectivo que puse en el articulo de Buenos Aires??, me tome el tiempo, escribi sobre el Colectivo que estaba inexistente, coloque la imagen, puse los links al la página de Colectivo pero no, la cambiastes por una foto que esta en todos lados, ya te lo dije anteriormente, variedad es bueno, ahora tenemos el mismo colectivo en el articulo de Baires, y cuando haces el Link hacia Colectivo ahi esta nuevamente, y se repite por otros lados, ya te explique arriva sobre la redundancia. Ademas cada vez que hago algo vas y lo cambias, yo siempre me he comunicado contigo sobre los cambios, trabajemos en conjunto! , y en otras, muy bien por el mapa del Tranvía del Este ~ Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 20:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

-che perdona.. no sabia que vos habias puesto la imagen del bondi de ser asi no la hubiese sacado..(va ni me fije en historial) lo que paso es que pense que la foto estaba hace mucho tiempo y dije bue la saco pero no, no pienses que voy ahi por la vida cambiando imagenes y aparte que ya arreglamos de modificar fotos de articulos juntos..Salu2

White Argentina Policy

Your copy and paste of the translation of elements of the Racism in Argentina into the White Argentina Policy article strikes me as dishonest and downright deceitful, particularly in the way you changed the occasional word (incorrectly, I might add) to make it appear different.

Your recent edits at Demographics of Mexico

While it seems you are mostly interested in the topics of your own homecountry, mostly related to Demography and Ethnography; I noticed two unusual contributions at Demographics of Mexico:

• The first one changed the racial estimation of the White population, replacing Britannica as the source with Wikipedia's own article on White Mexicans.
• The second one introduced a rather tendentious paragraph on poverty with a selective use of sources.

Assuming good faith as you recently, or sporadically delve into other Latin American countries'—or rather, Mexico's—demographic or economic indicators, I reverted both edits based on the following grounds:

• On the first edit—quite obviously—Britannica is a reputable source, not Wikipedia. Assuming good faith and not a tendentious modification of data, I highly recommend using reputable sources.
• While I see that you added a section about "Economic Status" on Demographics of Argentina—a rather unrelated topic—I disagree with its inclusion at Demography of Mexico. Simply because the article is about, well, Demography, not economics. Moreover, and to be honest with you, the section you added was rather tendentious, especially when I compare your use of "sources" and language there, to the one you wrote at Demographics of Argentina. (For example, consider your use "self-ascription" [i.e. "I consider myself to be...] to define "middle-class" status, and not the World's Bank report on income by cohorts). However, a section on poverty in Mexico does exist and it is very well documented at Economy of Mexico, the appropriate article to talk about..., well, Economic standards, and using sources such as the World Bank, the UN and the CIA. I suggest that you also move the section on "Economic standards" from Demographics of Argentina to Economy of Argentina but since I have contributed little on that article, I will only keep that as a suggestion.

Being an admin at ca.wiki most of my edits are related to Spain/Catalonia, but after a stalemate in heated discussions, I decided to delve into Latin American topics, starting with Mexico. Nonetheless—and since Economics and History are my area of interest and expertise—I would be more that happy to participate and coordinate projects with you in articles related to Argentina. Feel free to contact me.

Cheers, --the Dúnadan 13:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

--Dear Dunadan I agree with you, the only reason I made the recently edits is because I noticied that in Demography of Mexico there was not a poverty index that is why I added this source. I should 've added the standard of life and poverty part into Economy of Mexico.

Yes, it is true that I mostly make edits in argentina's articles might be patriotism or something I don't know, but more recently I am seeking to make edits in other articles besise Argentina's, (eg demographics and history of Uruguay, Mexico etc). Nonetheless (your key word) I still remember the "heated discutions" that we had but well, lets leave the past behind and why not work together as you say on different articles.

Transportation

Hey Fercho85, how you doing, nice input you've did on Buenos Aires; Transportation, did some adjustments and also shortened a bit, i hope you agree, you had Tram systems in several places and grouped them together, also changed Underground for Metro, and Tram for Light Rail since its more appealing world wide, greetings, Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 21:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Moebiusuibeom-en since you wrote to me in english I will talk to you in the same language.. Firstly I personally agree with you in changing Metro to Underground, nonetheless the term was not wrong, regarding the term tram I think it is better to change it by light rail since tram is "a railborne vehicle, lighter than a train, designed for the transport of passengers (and/or, very occasionally, freight) within, close to, or between villages, towns and/or cities, primarily on streets" whereas light rail "is a form of urban rail public transportation that generally has a lower capacity and lower speed than heavy rail and metro systems" Finally I will reorder the pictures if you don't agree please let me know.. --Fercho85 (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Good fellow, I know the term "Underground" is also correct but it's just too British, Metro is known trough out the world and we're talking about the Buenos Aires Metro.

On the other hand Light Rail is strictly an American term for Newer street or off street running light rail vehicles, in Europe they are still called Trams, check Tram, anyway, there is a lot of controversy on this subject. In Buenos Aires they where originally called Tram, or Tramway, check the history of Línea Urquiza , nevertheless, it doesn't bother me if the term Light Rail is used.

On the images, please be my guest, i think there is one too many anyway!

By the way, the section may still need some light polishing. Nice working with you, y sobre el ingles, ni me di cuenta. Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 00:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

... apparently we have a native English speaker (User:Durrus) do needed corrections (polishing) on article and by the way, "Tram" was left untouched, i believe there is a nice balance in copy between Tram and Light Rail, please reconsider keeping Tram! cheers - Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 02:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Fercho8; we're on the right track, the adjustments you've made are just right !! (though i disagree with having the PreMetro map there , the line is too insignificant for the city)

In reference to Tram vs Light Rail, did some research and we're both right, BUT, according to world definition, Tren de la Costa, could be considered light rail, and you where right on that, here is why

1] it's not Street Running

2] it has High Door Sills not accessible from street level

3] requiring Stations and Station Platforms for passenger ingress and egress,

so technically it's a light rail

So the section could be divided into two parts, Tram and Light Rail but i believe it would lengthen the article too much and since both systems do have similar technologies, i would live them together but specify Tren de la Costa as light rail.

I will do additional slight adjustments, regards - Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 14:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Fercho. I hope you don't mind, and I don't want to touch your home page, but one little comment: aficionado = "passionate" or "enthusiastic" in English (not "afitionate". I doubt that word exists). Your English is otherwise very good (a million times better than my Spanish), so I thought I should point that out to you. By the way, I was in Argentina about ten years ago. Loved it! Dionix (talk) 18:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

If it's fun for you, don't give up! I for one am learning from your edits on Italians in South America.
Also, I notice from your home page that you may have ancestry from the same area of Calabria as me- Rogliano- very close to Parenti. As for my visit to Argentina, I travelled by car from Santiago to Mendoza (the mountain pass was an experience!), then flew to BA where I stayed a few days and had an incredible time. Didn't really get down to las pampas or anywhere else, but I hope to come back there some day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dionix (talk • contribs) 21:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Argentina Articles

Fercho85,

Thank you for responding to me, My main trouble with this situation is that Amerindian facts are left out of Argentine articles. It is not about just the study. The European place in Argentina's popultion is always stated, why not the Amerindian? Many Argentines I know, are not of pure European descent. Many claim their Indian ancestors as well... Yet none of the articles say anything about it, It plainly gives the percentage as 97% European descended. Period. Argentina is a Latin American country. When it was conquered Indians intermarried with Whites.. as in most of our countries (U.S., Mexico, Chile, etc.). Many "Criollos" had Indian ancestry, but it was hidden beneath a vail of whiteness..(Colonial Mentality), much like some are attempting with these on-line articles. I ask only for fair representation of Amerindian descendency and influences. Thank You. Cali567 (talk) 07:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Symbol in Italians

Hi Fercho. Just for your info, I used the symbol "~" to denote "approximately". Perhaps its use is too esoteric for an international audience, but I wanted to convey that the number is really "plus or minus". Anyways, it doesn't really matter as I'm sure some anon will soon again change the numbers :). Have a great weekend, Dionix (talk) 23:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Argentina

Thanks for the message, I saw the ethnicity section and its fine, especially you included the study to prevent complaints and edit wars.

I haven't quit on Wikipedia. I know some users are annoying and using that study to say Argentines are mestizos. But if you read the study well, it say 56% of Argentines have one indigenous ancestor. Which also means the other ancestors are European. According to the old Caste System, Argentines are not Mestizo nor Castizo. If that study is correct, that make 56% of Argentines are around 10~1% indigenous.

Anyways, Thanks for the message. Lehoiberri (talk) 21:04, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Recent Edits

While I appreciate your endeavors in trying to improve the paragraph and reach a consensus in the article of Argentina, I further improved your edits by fixing some sentences whose language was not "encyclopedic" or had weasel words due to using "general" terms instead of detailed terms. I think your improvement, plus my improvement (two parties working on it) are a good consensus. I find it disappointing that you reverted my edits entirely and called it again "improvement".

By the way, I am not citing the entire study; the entire study contains a lot more information that is not even explained in Demographics of Argentina. In fact, due to the fact that the study is not thoroughly explained on either article, users get the wrong conclusions (like the one above by Lehoiberri). The study is measuring admixture, and not the number of ancestors; in fact, the study does not even say that 56% of Argentines have one Amerindian ancestor, but rather that 56% have Amerindian ancestry regardless of the number of ancestors (or the extent of the Amerindian contribution).

I though that was clear enough by now, since I have explained it several times, and with much detail at Talk:Argentina. However, based on Lehoiberri's comment above, it seems the difference is still not fully understood. That is why we need to use language that is precise. (Which doesn't mean extensive, in fact, the paragraph is quite short, and accurate, and precise, a perfect combination). If we are precise, we avoid edit wars; if we are not precise, or if we use general or weasel words, the section is prone to edit warring. I hope you understand this too.

Looking forward to hearing your comments, --the Dúnadan 21:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I fail to see a convincing reason not to add the clarifying and informative ending to the sentence "...and 10% were shown to have Amerindian ancestors on both lineages". It is simple, clear, succinct and informative. --the Dúnadan 21:43, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Argentina's Indian Admixture

Fercho85, What will it take for you to see the truth? You are one of the only users to revert these edits. Are you uneasy with the fact that your friends, or even you, may have Amerindian blood? This study was done in Argentina itself. What more do you want? This will be added in this article. It may reverted by you, but it will be added, despite your fake "consensus", as long as I am a Wikipedia User. All Important information should be stated. Argentines know they may have Indian blood, and it will be stated in their articles. Thank you so much. Cali567 (talk) 06:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Yet it is well hidden, and not allowed in the Introduction of most articles, not to mention, if you had your way, it wouldn't be in the article Argentine American AT ALL. Why is all reference to it deleted in that article? You are the only user who has a problem with this issue... The facts (ALL OF THEM) should be stated CLEARLY in all Argentine related articles. This is not the only study ever done, nor will it be the last. In these articles, those of Amerindian descent will have equal representation and it will be done with or despite you. Cali567 (talk) 07:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

cali i think a simple soultion to this situation instead of just trying to dewhitenize agentines,lets add in the begining paragraph or seperate paragraph stating that many white populations around the world have non caucasian admixture instead of just trying to single out white latin americans there is a study on the white american article stateing that up to 30 percent of white americans from the united states have admixture of non caucasian blood,you seem to have a mestizo agenda--Wikiscribe (talk) 18:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Question

Mexicanpeople.jpg by Fercho85

Where/When did you take the picture to the right? (Which city in Chiapas?) I am trying to identify, based on the dresses, the indigenous group the girls belong to. Your first tag identified them as Maya (Maya is not a single ethnic group in Mexico, but a family of ethnic groups), but I am even thinking they might be Nahua. Can you shed some light on this? --the Dúnadan 03:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Welsh in Argentina.

Hello there,

I was wondering if you had any further information on the Welsh in Argentina?

Demographics of Argentina

A subject being considered controversial by some doesn’t make it taboo for all. And as far as the discussion goes I can see two people with opposing view points and a third agreeing to keep this information. Even Ale4117, the contributor who initially argued against this phrase, seems to be willing to allow it. The consensus so far is on the side of keeping the information in place. If you have any other arguments that haven’t been touched and wish to give your opinion on why this concise piece of information should not be included, I suggest you use the article’s talk page.

Likeminas (talk) 19:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

The consensus that you mentioned is so far not clear in the article. Moreover, the references cited by the author do not have enough weight to be at the same level of results achieved through scientific methods. The results of Dr. Corach, which you completely have deleted from the paragraph, are definitely conclusives and opposed to the collective belief (without scientific basis) transmitted from generation to generation, that its population is mostly of European ancestry without "mestizaje" with Amerindians.

Surveys based on self-identification are the result of the subjectivity of the moment. Diferents results may be obtained every single time. In contrast, scientific research of Dr. Corach was done following a scientific method, that is, if somebody wants to repeat the study, he, she, or they will have very similar or the same conclusion.

The true is diferent wich you probably would like to hear: At least 56% of its population has Amerindian ancestry or what is the same: most of the argentinian have amerindian ancestry and are the product of the "mestizaje". The genetic does not lies when is used to prove paternity, or to discover a murderer, or to identify a body. It produces conclusive evidence in any trial into the territory of the Republic, like in this situation. --echidna2007 (talk) 10:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Photos in Demo. of Arg. Article

An original photo of a native of Argentina is better than showing an amatuer photo of children at a party. This section is not about just White, Mestizo, Indian or Black Argentines... it is about ALL of them. Using pictures of all the groups would actually be better.

Do not call content disputes like this vandalism. I have blocked him for a short while on the warring, but right now, if you do not start using the talk page, YOU will be blocked as well. In fact, I don't see a single edit to Talk:Demographics of Argentina as all. Why is that? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome.

Fercho:

Thank you for your warm welcome.

I must admit I've been editing Wikipedia pages for a few months now and that I've noticed some of your contributions, as well. Those of us who, either by birth of by family ties, take an interest in Argentina are lucky to have you around here in wikiland. Your edits are always timely, relevant, well-sourced and, above all, considerate of others.

I don't need to tell you that these are qualities not everyone here shares and, though Wikipedia policies won't allow for its mention, pettiness and malice can lurk behind many of these disruptive edits. It's part of our human nature, after all.

We have this much on our side: said individuals can provide no good reason to do what they do and this makes them vandals.

Again, thanks for your time and trouble, Fercho. I hope to hear from you sometime.

PS: If I'm ever down in Buenos Aires and if you'd like, I'll let you know. We should have lunch.

Lost reference

Hello. On December 30, 2008 you added a lot of important and usefull information the the article Córdoba, Argentina. At two places that information contained the reference <ref name="OBSCAP07"/>. This is a reference that was specified somewhere else inside the article you copied the information from. Would you please be so kind to tell me where you copied it from, so that I could fix this reference. Alternatively, you could do this yourself. You may leave your answer here, I'll be waiting. Thank you. Debresser (talk) 12:49, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Estadísticas en Argentina

Fercho:

Soy hijo de Argentinos y es, por lo tanto, un placer dirigirme a vos (te tutéo, esta bien?).

Segun consta aquí, el 86% de la población Argentina es de ascendencia Européa, lo que difiere levemente con su ultima contribución. Note que la población Arabe no estaría incluida en este porcentage, dado que serían (estríctamente hablando) "blancos," pero no "Européos."

De más esta decir que las cifras difieren ridículamente poco, pero quisiera evitar problemas, si puedo. No dudo que dejar el "90%," más alla de ser una exageración, resultaría imposiblemente provocante hacia muchos (quienes luego - como ya sabés - se deléitan en retaliar con ese "estudio" tomado en los hospitales públicos, pretendiendo ser representativo del país en su conjunto). Si bien existe una aserción del Anuario Estadístico CIA al efecto de que el "97%" sería clasificable así, lo poco serio de ese guarismo se cáe de su propio peso, creo.

Lamentablemente, el censo Argentino se niega a requerír auto-descripcíon étnica alguna (salvo los cuestionarios especiales dirigidos a la población indígena, claro). Hasta que así sea, nos tendríamos que conformar con los sondeos internacionales más creíbles. Espero que te haya persuadido en ese sentido, que sinceramente creo que sería el más equánime (sí, soy de Libra).

Salvo serias objeciones tuyas, corregiré por ahora la cifra (citando una mera "desavenencia con la fuente"). Te propongo entonces una mira pragmatica al asunto, en pos de evitar peléas con terceros.

Comunícate con migo al respecto, o por cuálquier otro asunto.

Un mate,

La Plata, Buenos Aires

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of La Plata, Buenos Aires, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: La Plata. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Cut & Paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give La Plata a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

License tagging for File:Monumenry.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Monumenry.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:13, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Parsing Argentine numbers

Fercho:

It's good hearing from you, again.

You asked me about recent changes and, well, you might recall I once wrote to you regarding the need to keep Argentine ethnic structure numbers to what was both sourced and credible. Trust me, I value your edits and really would rather not change "86.7" to "86.4" - but I've found that adherence to the source is very important when dealing with that most contentious of statistics (for the sake of preventing second-guessing by third parties). Remember also that Arab folks are "white," though not of "European" descent (though many today live in Europe, certainly).

I've supported the use of "8%" when counting mestizos because, you see, if the source lists "6.5%" of that group and "3.4% Amerindians," the total count of 10% squares with the INDEC quote of 1.6% Amerindians - if the difference can be counted as mestizos (when someone in that group is not a full-blooded Amerindian, he or she is almost certainly mestizo).

Let's not forget, Fercho. A quoted total of 10% between these two groups is, in today's Argentina, conservative. The source is, however, the only one with a realistic ethnic breakdown of the country. INDEC data is also included in the calculation, since, as you pointed out, worldstatesmen.org's "3.4%" is poorly sourced. While we're parsing numbers, of course, contributors to other Latin American pages insert the "whitest" figures they can find, just as soon as they can locate them - I realize that. It would be the equivalent of someone insisting on a "97% white" figure for Argentina; but I think it speaks well of Argentines and Argentine-Americans that we'd rather not resort to the same, generally.

Again, it's good to hear from you. I gathered from your user page that you live in Buenos Aires and, if so, let me commend you for being one of only a very few Argentines (living in Argentina) that can truly edit in English, competently. Don't get me wrong - effort counts, though it's nice when someone can do that without it needing lots of copy-editing.

Let's keep in touch.

Your friend, Sherlock4000 (talk) 08:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Fercho:

Thanks for your reply and question.

I assure you that, between the first and second versions of the phrase you mentioned, the first one gets your point accross better.

Contact me whenever you'd like.

Your friend, Sherlock4000 (talk) 20:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, yes, before I forget: good luck on your exams - you're the man!

A favor, if you please

Fercho:

How've you been? I need a favor.

Recently, I created an English-language article on the Argentine Industrial Union, and I've been trying to illustrate it with an image of their heaquarters, from Flickr. Unfortunately and for the first time, I've been unable to upload it (a problem with the ever-popular Bryan's upload server,I think).

When you get the chance, could please try to upload this into Commons?

Please contact me if you can't, or if anything turned out.

Thanks, Fercho. Take care.
