Talk:Malvinas (disambiguation)

"Argentina frigate the Heroin was": This sounds like the author is Spanish. In Spanish and Portuguese, heroina means both heroine and heroin. Anthony Appleyard 07:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I removed the bit about Argentina's claim, SqueakBox 01:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

It was a mistake. It is needed to understand why there are several places named that way. I'll revert. Ejrrjs | What? 05:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Are you claiming these places were named after the Malvinas? In that case please source your claim. It looks like they just share the same name. We ned a positive source saying these places have been named the Malvinas after the Falkland Islands and in order to strengthen Argentinian sovereignty claims, SqueakBox 15:32, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it *might* be a random coincidence...in a country where it is mandatory to teach at elementary school that Las Malvinas son Argentinas. Anyway, hope this will settle the issue. Ejrrjs | What? 20:08, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay that covers the county but if you want Malvinas Argentinas, Córdoba in that subsection I will want a source for that too, SqueakBox 22:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

What we *do* need is a reference to the alleged pebbles near Ibiza. User:Ejrrjs says What? 21:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Partido de Malvinas Argentinas, Buenos Aires Province

• Here there is a zipped pdf: a book (in Spanish) edited by the municipal government titled Malvinas Argentinas. Un partido que está haciendo historia (roughly A county that is creating history). On page 302 there is a map of the Falklands captioned Las Islas Malvinas inspiraron el nombre de nuestro distrito (The Malvinas Islands inspired the name of our district). The text discusses several failed proposals regarding the name of the (new) district. Afterwards, it says:

Finalmente se adoptó el de Malvinas Argentinas, por sugerencia del gobernador Eduardo Duhalde y en virtud del emotivo significado que este nombre tiene en el sentimiento de nuestro país. (Eventually, [the name] Malvinas Argentinas was taken, by suggestion of governor Eduardo Duhalde and because of the emotional meaning that this name has in our country feeling).

Mind you, in Spanish it is lousy too. Now I'll fix the text User:Ejrrjs says What? 16:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation of different names?

I believe that only items named "Malvinas" should be dealt with in this disambiguation article. Apart of the relevant Islands themselves, the other name that needs disambiguation here would be the Rosario International Airport Islas Malvinas I reckon.

Items with other names (such as "Malvinas Argentinas", "March of the Malvinas" or "Malvinas 2032") should not be included, indeed no ambiguity arises among different names.

Apparently there exist several different items named "Malvinas Argentinas", so that name would probably need a disambiguation article of its own. I am not so experienced in Wikipedia rules and standards regarding disambiguation; mine is just one possible opinion based on common sense. Apcbg 22:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Partial matches and new DAB

I agree, the following are partial matches, or not mentioned in the article

• Malvinas, a chain of tiny islands and rocks near Ibiza in the Mediterranean (needs adding to the article per ref above first (or a better ref)
• Malvinas Islands peso
• Polideportivo Islas Malvinas, a stadium in the city of Mar del Plata
