Talk:Pueblos jóvenes

Population
The use of the word "exclusively" is stupid. It is unlikely that the fifth largest settlement in the Americas will have an entire population with an ethnic background drawn "exclusively" from three groups. You can see that a citation is needed. Change it if you agree with me.

VES and Comas
This article references "prosperous districts in Lima such as Villa El Salvador and Comas." I'm not so sure that I would call either Villa El Salvador or Comas "properous." Peru is one of the poorest countries in South America, and Villa El Salvador and Comas are still known as two of the poorest parts of Lima. Poverty is in the eye of the beholder (I'd imagine that Comas does look prosperous to the average llama herder out in the middle of nowhere in the Andes), but I think that it's safe to say that the vast majority of English-speaking wikipedia readers would find Comas and Villa El Salvador to be totally improverished. --Descendall (talk) 21:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I wonder if the original author meant "prospering", in the sense that the areas are improving, at least on their own terms? For now, it's best removed (either meaning would call for a reference anyway.) – Kieran T  (' talk ') 21:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Possible Revisions
I am considering adding some sections to this article and revising some of the existing sections. I have included below a summary of the revisions I hope to make, along with a brief selection of citations containing information relevant to this topic. Let me know if there are any other topics that should be covered in this article. Azhao96 (talk) 15:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I’m interested in this subject because numerous countries are facing issues with the consequences of extreme urbanization. Lima’s Pueblos Jóvenes, however, deserve to be better publicized than they currently are, particularly because of Peru’s growing presence in the world and the sheer extent of these communities. I would like to add sections on the politics of water scarcity in the Pueblos Jóvenes, a more in depth discussion of the demographics of these areas, structural and political reasons for the formations of these slums (including a discussion of the role of social class), a list of the names of the neighborhoods that comprise the sum total of Lima’s slums with a description of each, a comparison to slums in other major cities, and current government efforts to circumvent some of the issues faced by citizens of these areas.

WP:SQUAT
There are over one billion squatters worldwide and the phenomenon is under-represented on Wikipedia. Join WikiProject_Squatting to help write articles about squatting in every country, or drop a message on the talkpage about something else you'd like to see covered. This is just one of many ways to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia! Mujinga (talk) 19:20, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
