This article is getting void by the second.
Whats the point of having an article called Latin America, a region of the Americas where Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese and French) are prevalent as opposed to Anglo america ( when theres already an article called French America? In that case it should be obvious that an article called Portuguese America should also be created.
The term was further popularised by French Emperor Napoleon III's government in the 1860s as Amérique latine
When the article is also contradicting itself "Some subnational regions known as French America such as Quebec and parts of the United States where Romance languages are primarily spoken are not usually included due to the countries as a whole being a part of Anglo America (an exception to this is Puerto Rico, which is almost always included within the definition of Latin America despite being a territory of the United States)." but the article Aglo America says Puerto Rico is considered part of Anglo-America because of its status as a unincorporated territory of the United States
Falklands, Y Wladfa, Quebec?
Y Wladfa is not French America, Latin America or Anglo America. It's just Patagonia and that's it. Like Canadians whose first language is french wouldn't accept to be called Anglos or Anglo-Americans. So people from Y Wladfa whose first language is welsh why all of them aren't included in divisional terms? You don't call them latinos or anglos, they are against argentine gov and english gov, in welsh everyone calls them Patagonians, like patagoniadd, and welsh is not a latin language. All this is just plain incorrect. The Falklands are not included in none of those terms as well even tho everyone says they should be part of Anglo America. Y wladfa is separated like Quebec and the Falklands. Is because not many know about it due to "cultural isolation" and the Argentine government putting sanctions trying to make the territory like the country? also taking in count that The Falklands and South Atlantic territories including antarctic territories claimed by Argentina were excluded. Argentina doesn't even have an official language to protect Spanish by law like Canada does with English and French. Y wladfa has all documents in Welsh recognized since they landed in terra nullius and created the colony, including language, schools, sport clubs like rugby nd hockey draig goch rc, eistedfodd, important dates: Gwyl y glaniad, even food like Teisen ddu and Patagonian welsh tea ceremony, flag and anthem. Both territories have these. Please, put a gray point on the map where the Y Wladfa settlements are located and include falks in anglo america. It's not part of latin languages and culture. Nobody considers them as part of the territory and country, even Argentines hate it because of being "brits". It only shows one's ignorance in using the term from both sides, and welsh are the real british not the english that invaded the uk and were germanic, for those racist argies against y wladfa and the islands! French speaking canadians aren't anglos, welsh patagonians and faklanders aren't latinos. Same case? Quebec, Y wladfa, maybe Falklands too that are also ignored here in those terms? These definitions need an update, territories being omitted due to claims. The falklands should be in Anglo-America and Y Wladfa isn't latin america or anglo america. I'm pretty sure nobody in Y Wladfa likes the Argentines and the English reason why Patagonian is the patriotic demonym. Same for Quebec, it isn't Anglo America or Latin America.Falklands are located in the americas too but were ignored in these definitions or maybe ignored for being an isolated minority. Online they only talk to british people and welsh groups, I've not seen them talking to other latinos or argentinians, guess that not many know about it? maybe falklanders, but they talk to certain people in patagonia and immigrant argentinians EDIT: MY BAD. Someone already told me since the settlements are very small are already known to be apart the definition like the falklands and quebec. Being a small number and disputed/isolated territories exclude them from being added to any of these terms. Also Y wladfa has a very strong connection with Canada (second colony of patagonians is Saltcoats! and they also helped build winnipeg) so happy to see north america and the uk with other organizations helping the territories in south america againts disputes, territorial claims and cultural appropiation.
Recent tagging for citations and NPOV
There is no edit explanation in the article history for the recent tags for citations needed and non-neutral POV. It would be very helpful if editors who tag whole articles or sections to identify those edits when they are made. The tags might be artifacts of the unregistered editor who made edits that were subsequently reverted. Tags must be removed manually, per the template on removal. I would like this page to be a clear, well-cited, and have NPOV and will work toward achieving that. Amuseclio (talk) 18:51, 20 May 2022 (UTC)Amuseclio
History section too detailed for the general article
I think the history section needs to be more concise. I think moving text to the History of Latin America page is worth considering. Amuseclio (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Amuseclio
