Edit the population

Today we know the offcial number of people in Argentina: http://www.censo2010.indec.gov.ar/

Unecessary mention to Chile / Economy section

"Argentina has, after its neighbour Chile, the second-highest Human Development Index, and the highest GDP per capita in purchasing power terms in Latin America." I don't get the point of mentioning Chile in this Argentina related article. When you go to the chilean article, it does not say that "Chile has, after it's neighbour Argentina, the second highest GDP per capita in purchasing power terms". I don't think this is something worth mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.115.232.129 (talk) 03:59, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Population 40m is right?

I'm just asking because I was reading infobae today, a major conservative news outlet in Argentina, and there is an article about a projection that there will be 40 million mobile broadband subscriptions by 2016. Obviously not the same as having 40 million people subscribed but its still impossibly high for a country with only 40m people in it, including children and infants; especially with a slow growth rate. source --— robbie ^{page talk} 17:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Population is about 40m so the claim is high and sounds to me like marketing hype. -- Alexf^(talk) 18:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

statute of limitations for murder in Argentina?

The article on Erich Priebke (apparently) incorrectly claims that there is a statute of limitations for murder in Argentina. This is at least not true in most countries. --Espoo (talk) 19:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
