Talk:Chilean Americans

Many of these supposed Chilean-Americans are no such thing
Unless the criterion for becoming a Chilean-American is having visited the country at least once, most of the people listed here are Chileans, not Chilean-Americans. Beto Cuevas? Don Francisco? Leonor Varela? Etc? Even the articles about these people don't claim they're -Americans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.106.45.119 (talk) 06:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I couldn't agree more. Seems that it's only necessary to apear once or couple of times on american TV to start naming them "chilean-american". --194.203.215.254 (talk) 09:21, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Template
Can anybody please add a template with pictures of a selected few Chilean Americans? I suggest placing Claudio Arrau, Isabel Allende, Ariel Dorfman, Mario Kreutzberger (Don Francisco), and Jorge Garcia on the template. I would do this myself except I lack the skills to create such a thing. Come on people! The Sporty Jew (talk) 01:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Additions
In case anyone knew, Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) of Jersey Shore was born in Chile...but was raised by her adoptive Italian American parents. She would qualify in the list of famous Chilean-Americans, in addition being a pop cultural icon here in the USA and the world. I suggest we include a pic of her in the article when there's a consciousness met among us in Wikipedia. Polizzi is Chilean (of Italian Chilean descent),|'The View' Showdown: Joy Behar vs. 'Jersey Shore' Jennifer Graham Kizer ON Feb 23, 2010 at 3:28PM, IVillage 71.102.18.28 (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

One hit wonder vocalist Benny Mardones' father is from Santiago, Chile as it's stated in the Wiki article biography section. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Mardones#Personal_life 71.102.21.238 (talk) 21:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

He has immigrated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomgaylove (talk • contribs) 07:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

~If you can find a source of information about the citizenship status of Beto Cuevas in the United States and be able to cite it than by all means include it within the infobox.Selecciones de la Vida (talk) 16:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

He lived in Los Angeles, even if he were an illegal immigrant. he would be a Chilean American because his permanent address is in Los Angeles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boomgaylove (talk • contribs) 04:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

~Chile is a sovereign nation, the United States is a sovereign nation, The Mapuche are indigenous inhabitants within both Chile and Argentina and are not a sovereign nation. There is no argument that the Mapuche have influenced Chile culturally but so have people from other sovereign nations such as Spain. The Mapuche have not been recognized internationally as a sovereign state and that limits your argument.Selecciones de la Vida (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Ancestory
An editor recently deleted sourced, referenced information on the ancestory of chileans, and substituted it with unsourced material. This issue is worthy of discussion before further edits. The issue is also discussed at Talk:Chilean_people. It would be useful for all editors with an opinion to chime in. --Work permit (talk) 19:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Destructive changes
A few days ago that User: C.Kent87 has changed the origin information on the Chilean population, alluding to his edit summaries to be "this wording is being fair to both sides" and mentioning that Chileans are mostly mestizos, although exposed references in the article say the opposite. . Ccrazymann (talk) 10:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You must not be able to read. I put that most Chileans were Mestizo and White. That is what the sources say. You want to say that most Chileans are only white - That is destructive because you are tweaking what the SOURCES say. "Most" chileans are not white. Have you ever seen a documentary on Chile? Even of a phenotypical level, you can see Indian admixture in most. But since you want to pretend that Chile is a white country, because your in some sort of race with Argentina (and losing), you tweak references. We will work on this, though.

Old 2000 Census population figures
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chilean_American&diff=prev&oldid=419049203#Chilean_American_population_centres

The old figures show great discrepancies versus the new figures, wonder what caused it: Oklahoma; Detroit and Michigan; and Palm Desert, Cal. was omitted or removed, but these states and cities might be estimates without reliable sources to back them (any Chilean American societies?) and apparently rounded to the nearest number for a whole region. 71.102.21.238 (talk) 16:20, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_American#History  I have found one mention of Chilean immigration accompanied Peruvian immigration to the Metro Detroit in the 1950's and the San Francisco Bay Areas a century before (1850's). 71.102.21.238 (talk) 16:22, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of sourced content
There has been spate of rollbacks by [[User:RichardWeiss]] to the articles, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and. These have been undone, since: If you wish to engage in constructive behavior (e.g. questioning the validity of sources), a good place to start would be on the talk pages of the respective articles. Resorting to random drive-by reverts is generally considered unhelpful. Thanks.

 * The same highly controversial paragraph has been spammed into 16 different articles. I don't consider the encyclopedia.com source reliable, the article dabs are very poor and the whole paragraph bordering on racist. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 15:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
