Please correct the statement listed below.

"Colombia is the largest Spanish-speaking country in South America."

The statement is wrong. Argentina is actually the largest Spanish-speaking country in South America. 2600:8800:4B00:630:CD65:AC15:2967:3A7B (talk) 11:06, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

North America land?

Colombia doesn't have land in North America, colombisvhas an island in Central America, it's San Andres and some islands around San Andres. 2600:6C64:687F:94ED:59B8:2D53:C091:D13A (talk) 20:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that Colombia is the largest Spanish-speaking nation in South America. I believe both Argentina and Peru are larger that Colombia. The article should state that Colombia is the 3rd largest Spanish-speaking country in South America. 72.178.19.16 (talk) 23:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change this sentence in the lede: "Colombia is recognized for its healthcare system, being the best healthcare in the Americas according to the World Health Organization and 22nd in the world."

To: "Colombia is recognized for its healthcare system, being the best healthcare in Latin America according to the World Health Organization and 22nd in the world."

Per the sources. Neither source says it has "the best healthcare in the Americas," the WHO source simply says it has "the best in Latin America." Meanwhile, the second source is literally a company selling health insurance, and thus not a reliable source. 2603:7000:CF0:7570:6C10:DF46:D4D7:D416 (talk) 16:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mestizo-White

The "Mestizo-White" label wouldnt be acuratte as the govenrment does not specify the number as being mestizo white, and it doesnt include minority groups such as mulatto or east asian. It would be best to keep it as "no ethnic affiliation" as its presented in other pages relating to this topic. This is also because the colombian government doesn't collect data on specifically mestizos or whites instead counting afro and indigenous colombians. Moxy.

Looks like this was done all over https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/colombia/ Moxy-

So maybe change it to "Mestizo and White" ? Slatersteven (talk) 14:21, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree we should follow the source https://cers.leeds.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/97/2016/04/Multicultural-harmony-in-Colombia-Beth-Brady.pdf Moxy-

https://geoportal.dane.gov.co/servicios/atlas-estadistico/src/Tomo_I_Demografico/3.4.-poblaci%C3%B3n-por-grupos-%C3%A9tnicos.html is how tha government labels the ethnic groups Zaquezipe (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that as this does not define who , 85.9% are (outside of "no ethnicity") this is not much help. This does not support your edit of white, rather it would support "no identified ethnicity", but even then, this is one source. Slatersteven (talk) 15:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, can I make the change of changing "Human ethnicity and biological diversity" to "Race and ethnicity in Colombia", as that is the name of the article and the previous one is an unnecessary rewording. Zaquezipe (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We do to have a section titled that. If you want to change the name of a page you need to make a case at that article, not here. Slatersteven (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Colombia. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
