Comment on the removal of the statement ".... So Texas Wins."
This is a direct quote to the section I am refering to. I copied it from the edit page before I removed the comment

"Colombia and Peru met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to sign a peace treaty. In the Rio de Janeiro Protocol, as it was called, Peru stated that, "We sincerely deplore the events that occurred starting September, 1932. Specifically those that damaged our relationship with Colombia, so Texas Wins." The Salomón-Lozano Treaty was also reaffirmed by the Peace Treaty."

As you can see the quote says " So Texas Wins." This didn't look right to me so I went back in the edit history and found that the statement did not exist in earlier edits. However I found that this vandalism if that is the case, has probably been around since January 2009 if not earlier. So I decided to directly remove the three words instead of reverting the page. I had no ideal what other changes had been made so I felt just removing the three words was good enough. However there maybe other vandalisms to the page but because of my limited knowledge of the subject I would not reconize them. Hopefully someone else can examine the article for further Vandalisms Magnum Serpentine (talk) 15:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Merge incident and dispute articles
Leticia Incident and Leticia dispute are about the same events. What name for the merged article? In theory the "dispute" article could cover a broader time range than the 1932–33 conflict, inasmuch as the dispute began before it escalated into war; by the same token, the name "incident" suggests the initial outbreak of war rather than its full course and resolution. I think Leticia dispute is a better name, but WP:COMMONNAME is the key test. jnestorius(talk) 11:08, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Aircraft
There are references to the use of Vought Corsair aircraft in this article. The Vought Corsair was not developed until 1940. Tsolano (talk) 02:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Conflict
Can anybody tell us what this means: "and named Vásquez Cobo Minister of War on commission to overcome difficulties and place it, with all authority, above the military in service18." I find it incomprehensible even if it is accepted that "18" is a typo.Spinney Hill (talk) 10:30, 25 January 2023 (UTC)Spinney Hill (talk) 10:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

The truth is that Vázquez was not a minister of war, the minister of war was Carlos Uribe Gaviria and the commander of the Colombian army was Manuel Balcázar, Vázquez was commander of the Colombian expedition to the Amazon along with Efrain Rojas Acevedo.

If you have the source to show this can you correct this sentence? Spinney Hill (talk) 09:12, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Part of this information is in the book Conflicto Amazónico by Villegas editores. NicolásF2 — Preceding undated comment added 02:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

So can you correct the sentence? It seems to have been badly translated. I don't have the source and do not understand Spanish. Spinney Hill (talk) 09:14, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Puca Urca
What does this mean please? "The close confrontation did not allow the Colombian troops to land in the sector after being rejected, " Spinney Hill (talk) 20:05, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
