Upper Middle Income Economy

The source for the high income economy, no longer list Argentina as such. It is now classified as Upper Middle Income Economy.

The entry must distinguish between area and number of Spanish speakers

The present entry reads "and the largest Spanish-speaking nation," which even includes a link to the list of Spanish-speaking nations by size of population. Yet the previous excerpt refers to area and could be misconstrued. A reader might understand that Argentina has the largest Spanish-speaking population, which it clearly does not. I suggest that the entry be modified to "and the largest Spanish-speaking nation in terms of area."

Request edit of economy section

It should be noted that the CPI used to measure corruption is under harsh critisism and that the global corruption barmeter released by the same organization (transparency international) places Argentina in the place 31 of 95 countries, with levels of bribery well below the world's average.

1857 "recognized" Independence

I am baffled why this is listed in the country's information box. I have never heard of this date, and even if such a date exists, what does that mean? It is later than virtually all other countries in Latin America, which makes almost no sense since most other countries achieved independence LATER than Argentina. So there are several questions here:

1. Where does this date come from? Sources? I don't see any, nor is this date even mentioned in the section on independence. 2. Who is the entity that has the power to "recognize" Argentina's independence? 3. Why do they have have this power? On what basis is this power of recognition conferred to them? 4. Ultimately, why does it matter at all? Recognition of independence is unnecessary. Argentina revolted in 1810 and by 1813 had control of almost all it's then territory. 1816 they made it official. Other nations or entities recognition is ultimately irrelevant.

I have now had two people come to me saying Argentina's independence is 1857, I was stunned and asked them where you got this info. One said "online", the other "Wikipedia". This led me to this article.

I propose this item be removed from the information bar until there is more than enough justification to put it back in. Again, this date shows up nowhere on the article in question and is backed up by absolutely no bibliographical sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.218.24.130 (talk) 05:07, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never heard that date either, the year of independence is 1816 and today is the 200th anniversary of that date. When a country is referred to as being "recognised" it simply means that it has diplomatic relations with other countries. Taiwan, for example, has very limited recognition, being only officially recognised by a handful of countries. I presume that in this case it is referring to the Spanish crown if it dropped its claims to the territory as I doubt other countries wouldn't have recognised it. I'll add a "citation needed" template since there's no source for the date, but having such a date is relevant. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 12:40, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see how this is useful to the article. I support removing it on the basis that it is unsourced and has no references to back up this claim in addition to the four main concerns above. Ssbbplayer (talk) 02:38, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Argentina

How can the official map of any country contain its territorial claims? I think that this is against the Point-of-View policy. Texniths (talk) 09:29, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see any claims on Antartica on this world map published by the United Nations. So I guess, the map as it is now, is wrong.--Texniths (talk) 09:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's how it's done on Australia, Norway, New Zealand, Chile and other signatories of the Antarctic Treaty System as well. SegataSanshiro1 (talk) 19:31, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Needed in Languages Section

I found the source of the citation in question but the wikipedia passage is a direct word-for-word copy of the original article and should be altered or removed completely. The source is an article from worldlibrary.org http://www.worldlibrary.org/articles/eng/Population_of_Argentina#Population Zane.c (talk) 01:26, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Worldlibrary" is a copy of the "World Heritage Encyclopedia", which is a mirror of Wikipedia. The credit is at the bottom of the page as "citational source". Kuru (talk) 16:35, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
