== Relatively high government debt? == |
|||
I removed the claim that a government debt 50% the size of GDP is "relatively high".. relative to what, exactly? Relative to many other countries, this seems low.. so this claim should be clarified if it is to be added back it. It also just seems like some weasel words.

Position of Geography section
As we all know, especially if you look at the few featured articles that exist on countries, Geography section comes immediately after the History section. I suggest we make that change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alejinarango (talk • contribs) 20:27, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
Please this article requires National imparciality
I'm a Colombian citizen, i am from Cali but i have lived in NYC since long ago, let me tell you, this article is missing a lot of things and i found it without bias, i can see a lot of praise, mentions and recognition for Medellin and Antioquia, a lot of pictures from that part of the country, why? remember, this is the Article about the Nation of Colombia not about Antioquia because as we know Cali and Valle del Cauca in terms of population and all is equally relevant to Medellín and Antioquia (respectively), however that is not showing the article, i can see that for example (between a lot more mistakes) in our festivals there is not any mention about the bigest one of the Country -The Cali's Fair-, and also there is nothing about Cali, nothing about our events (CaliExposhow, Mundial de Salsa, Juegos Panamericanos 70's, Juegos Mundiales 2013, sports, Petronio Alvarez...), buildings (Torre de Cali, WTC Valle del Pacífico Cali, Centro de Eventos Valle del Pacífico, our Hotels,...), streets, culture, people, costums, trasportation (MIO, Miocable...), and what little there is about Cali and the Valle is very poor in comparison to Medellin and Antioquía, please correct it wisely, otherwise I'll take the task to bring to the Wikipedians, or I will consider to do it by myself in an appropriate way since the lack of impartiality is gigantic and does not show everything about Colombia and all of it, because you focus on ridiculous regionalism, another example you show 3 buildings in Medellín (San Fernando Plaza Hotel) and you show it as a Financial district, it is not true, there are many other an better hotels than that one in Bogota, Cali, Brarranquilla, Cartagena and also of course Medellin, but this is Wikipedia not an entertainment magazine, i saw also in some pictures about education and Universities, in Cali are a lot of excellent Universities begin from the Universidad del Valle one of the best Universities in Latin America.
Other thing, why the Aguardiente should be Antioqueno?, why in the image is not Tapa Roja, Nectar or Blanco del Valle?, there are a lot of mistakes and lack of impartiality, correct it!!!. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.81.12.203 (talk) 08:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, first I am French, second if you do not agree only provide further information to wikipedia (not necessarily remove information from Antioquia) simply add more about other regions and thirdly it is not regionalism but those who have made familiar with this place but do not know the rest of the country (I guess)
- Greetings.

On the right hand "summary" column the footnote about official language is wrong, it says that the constitution does not recognize Spanish as the official language when Article 10 of the Constitution says "El Castellano es el idioma oficial de Colombia" (Castillian (i.e. Spanish) is the official language of Colombia). The part about Ethnic languages being official in their territories is correct.

Referenced information removed.
The following information was removed, along with references, from the article in [this edit] with the claim that these parts were offensive.
Meanwhile Colombia's homicide rate, for many years one of the highest in the world, almost halved between 2002 and 2006.[1] 2009 and 2010 saw an increase in the urban homicide rate, particularly in the city of Medellín, attributed to gang warfare and paramilitary successor groups.[2][3][4] According to the Maplecroft research institute, in 2010 Colombia had the world's sixth highest risk of terrorism.[5][6]
Is the information false or offensive, or was the edit made for some other reason? Dbfirs 13:31, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Relatively high government debt?
