Largest Cities

The Largest Cities by populations are not showing the correct numbers, the numbers shown are for the Metropolitan area which sometimes includes other cities even outside the jurisdiction. Mendoza (only the city) has 112,900 inhabitants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendoza,_Argentina) the same with Tucumán, 527,607 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendoza,_Argentina) and its actual name is San Miguel de Tucumán. The numbers shown now are for the metropolitan areas usually called "Gran Mendoza", "Gran San Miguel de Tucumán", "Gran La Plata", etc. In the actual case of La Plata the number will be slightly minor, since "Gran La Plata" includes only 2 other jurisdictions that are not very populated. --Autusgo (talk) 19:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Facundil, 12 July 2011

The Gini Index that the article reports is so old (2009); the last results are:

Gini Index: 3rd third of 2010: 0.390 1st third of 2011: 0.379

I have updated the Gini index to what is provided in the source linked already in the article which was updated for the 3rd quarter of 2010. Jnorton7558 (talk) 23:59, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit Request

Hi, there should be a mention here about Kirchner's death in October 27 2010. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.196.189.191 (talk) 16:56, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Gini Index [Again]

Gini Index seems to be wrong again. In Argentina article, it marks 45.8 (2009; and it's wrong the notation too). In sub-article (Argentine Economy) it marks actually 0.379 (Q1 2011).

Sorry for my poor english. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Facundil (talk • contribs) 10:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Both articles use different sources. I'd say the first one (the CIA Factbook) is more reliable than the second one (INDEC), but I could be wrong. There are more sources in the list of countries by income equality.

In the meanwhile, I've corrected the format in this article. Is 'high' the correct category? --Langus (talk) 14:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Mmm, I didn't found other source for gini index. I think that CIA Factbook gini index is too high and INDEC one is a bit low. For the correct category, I don't know but I think that is not high and not low the index. Gini index should be inter 0.39 and 0.42, I'll look for another source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Facundil (talk • contribs) 20:20, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

The INDEC is not a reliable source for Argentine statistics, it is widely rejected (both domestically and internationally) for its indecent manipulation of that info. This goes beyond just critics at a disgruntled newspaper, even the IMF and Barack Obama critiziced this.
