Request translation

The end of the section Transportation is written in Spanish. Can someone who is fluent in Spanish translate? Youngrubby (talk) 20:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit, Semi‐protected status of article?

Why is this article semi‐protected ? I did a search of the talk page archive and couldn’t find anything. Was there edit warring ?

I think the languages section needs work. Request edit to mention that some Panamanians speak English and/or English-based-creoles, being the descendants of immigrants, to Panama, from English-speaking and EBC-speaking Caribbean islands

I agree on the language issue, and there are other topics that need to be reviewed and updated. AteneaZ3 (talk) 12:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Panamanian BaHai count error

The number of Bahais in Panamna is inconsistently listed as 2% but not mentioned in the pie chart with several smaller faiths, and it would be behind the one listed as third at 1.5%. I suspect the number should be two-tenths of a percent.

Ethnic groups

The issue of ethnic groups should be reviewed and cross-checked with national statistical censuses. These data are incomplete. They also do not include the various indigenous ethnic groups in detail, which are an important part of the population. AteneaZ3 (talk) 12:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Religion section

The first paragraph reads, in part, "The Jehovah's Witnesses were the third largest congregation comprising the 1.4% of the population, followed by the Adventist Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with the 0.6%." The third paragraph reads, in part, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) claims more than 40,000 members. Smaller religious groups include Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Episcopalians with between 7,000 and 10,000 members,..." This seems to be a discrepancy. If the LDS church has more members, then how could the Jehovah's Witnesses be the third largest congregation. I don't know what the correct answer is, but something seems to be wrong.

True. I will dive into the Stats and see if I can find a citeable set of figures BoonDock (talk) 02:52, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
