United PRovinces of the river plate

United PRovinces of the river plate is one of the official argentine's name. so, why isn't it included here?

Indeed "United Provinces of the River Plate" is a more apt name. Opinions? -- Alexf⁴² 12:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map

I am removing the map at the bottom of the article because it is inaccurate - specifically as regards the Falkland Islands. Per the sources given at Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, there was no permanent settlement on the Falkland Islands in 1816 or indeed at any point between 1811 and 1829, and the map seems to imply that there was. The fact that there is a current dispute doesn't mean we have to rewrite history to take any account of it.

In any case, the map has lots of numbers on it which don't seem to relate to anything in the article or on the image description. Pfainuk talk 21:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MY dear friend, It doesn't matter whether there was a settlement or not on the islands. According to International public law statements, all the territory rights that belonged to Spain passed to Argentina, and UK took them illegally, considering that it was recognized as part of UP of Río de La Plata, not just in the map. That's why the resolution No. 2065 NATO resolution says this territory is in dispute. I recommend you to read about International public law, not just considering this case, but to inform yourself and then apply it to the particular case, Yours, Juan Pablo Luque
