This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Uruguay was a Geography and places good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

It is correct. Yeísmo is the lack of a phonemic distinction between the lateral /ʎ/ and the central /ʝ/ (the name means Y-ism, i.e. the pronunciation of LL as Y, which is the only direction the merger can go in Spanish). Zheísmo/sheísmo are reduntant terms that refer to two particular realizations of /ʝ/, as [ʒ] and [ʃ], so the terms conflate phonemes with allophones (judging by their etymology. Where do you have ZH and SH in native Spanish words?) For the sake of comparison, the cot-caught-merged phoneme in North American English is not always [ɑ] (even though it's almost universally written as such), as it can be [ɒ], [ä] or even [ɔ] instead. So it can be closer to both cot and caught in the unmerged North American accents, depending on the dialect and even individual speaker. All the name cot-caught merger implies that the words differentiated only by the vowel /ɑ/ or /ɔ/ become homophonous. Sol505000 (talk) 14:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Recent edits replacing "the Americas" with "South America"
Hi @Intilyc: I noticed your recent edit that replaces "the Americas" with "South America". While your change is described as "clarifying language", I believe this is inaccurate as the new phrasing refers to a much smaller region. In particular, with respect to democracy related measurements, Uruguay is effectively ranked first among all the Americas in the democracy index, not just South America, so the original phrasing is more accurate. The same is true with respect to digital coverage. Can you please review or undo your changes or clarify that these achievements relate to all the Americas, not just South America?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I assumed that these categories were specifically about South America, given some of the provided sources. Doing some deeper digging though, you are totally correct. I can't confirm all of these, as the link to citation 112 is dead, but I will just revert the whole thing.
That's correct, HDI has gone down from 2020 to 2021. I noticed edits to correct this but then I saw that it was reverted to "increase". I believe the correct thing in this case is "decrease". I also noticed that the ref has been updated -- thanks. Ocampoernesto (talk) 16:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong information in the Religion part of the Infobox
Please pay attention, that total summary of the percentage in the Religion part of the Infobox is more than 100% (60.8% + 40.1% + 1.2% = 102.1%), which is incorrect. Qaraqalpaqpan (talk) 03:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Capital cities
There is mention it's the 3rd most south city and listed Wellington and Canberra. There are other state capital in Australia that are further south, such as Melbourne, Hobart, Perth. Canberra is further north.
Should this be limited to "nations capitals?". It isn't restricted to such at the moment though.
