Neutrality, edit requested, introductory statement

It is not well understood why it is mentioned here that Argentina is a developing country when Chile does not have that mention in the introductory paragraphs. Both are developing countries, both have similar development levels (Chile a little higher in HDI, Argentina a little higher in the adjusted iHDI). It gives the wrong impression when navigating from a page to the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.225.221.3 (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Jack Frost (talk) 09:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Embarassing

This truly has to be one of the most hilariously dumb sections on this site. there are several citations from CIA manuals with no regard to how the CIA's subversive plans for Argentina factor in at all. Pathetic.

Official language

WikiJuan, your referenced edit today was reverted. Why do you think that happened, and do you agree with the action taken? Official languages often cause disputes, so this is not perculiar to the Argentina article. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 01:40, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish is the de facto official language of Argentina even though it doesn't have a de jure status. Mentioning official language as Spanish with de facto written in the bracket is the best option as seen in my edit which was reverted. Don't see any need for a second section of national language in the infobox. Bundestag1 (talk) 14:39, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You don't seem to understand the difference between official and national languages in the infobox template, so here it is as per Template:Infobox_country:
|official_languages = <!--Languages recognised in legislation, constitution, etc-->
|national_languages = <!--Country/territory-wide languages recognised but not necessarily in country/territory-wide law, etc-->
|regional_languages = <!--Languages recognised or associated with particular regions within the country/territory-->
See? Clear as day. Official language is for a language that is recognised as such in legislation country-wide, and there is none in Argentina's case. Instead, Argentina does have a national language and that is Spanish. "De facto official" is an oxymoron and it does not make any sense. --MewMeowth (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
