Talk:South America

So much Brazil
The article has TONS of photos of Brazil, saying on Brazilian info. It is completelly unbalanced as there's so much more info on Brazil than in any other South American country. This is basically the article Brazil 2 now. RealityIllusion (talk) 04:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC) Blocked as a sock of User:Arthur Brum. Ignore comments. BilCat (talk) 18:16, 26 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Brazil represents more or less half of South America, both in population, agriculture, livestock, industry and economy. In addition, there aren't as many good and representative pictures of the economy of other South American countries in Commons as there are of Brazil. It's also necessary to do an in-depth search to place texts and photos that are true and representative of other countries, which is not at all easy, and no editor has done or has managed to date. It's not as easy as it looks. Everyone is free to increase the article and add more texts and photos from other countries. Nobody is obliged to do so. Editors posted good texts and good photos about Brazil, and perhaps, insufficient texts and photos about other countries: then, over time, other editors can go on completing the article.2804:14D:5C8F:832B:F138:E00D:604A:504A (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Portuguese is the official language of a population slightly larger than Spanish in South America
You removed my contribution https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_America&oldid=prev&diff=1092354589 with the reason "unsourced, contradicts previous sentences" but it does not need to be sourced since it is already done in the infobox of Brazil and South America articles (see under population and you will see Brazil has more than the half of the population from South America). It also does not contradict the previous sentences (Spanish and Portuguese are the most spoken languages in South America + Spanish is official language of most countries), it just adds more details that Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, which has more than the half of the population in South America. So I suggest to cancel your revert. --Baptx (talk) 18:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * The population for South America is a 2018 estimate, while the population for Brazil is a 2022 estimate. They need to be from the same years, and preferably the same reliable source. BilCat (talk) 19:58, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Population of Argentina is way off
Argentina's population is over 40 million, yet the article lists it as 4.5 million, both in the table and the text in the body. The problem is that it is linked to, which gives a total that is roughly 1/10th of the actual number. This problem is also appears in the Latin Americans article, for the same reason. Does anyone know how to fix the number in ? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The article has been vandalised, so you just correct it.Ttocserp 21:55, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, it wasn't this article that was vandalized, but a case of Argentina's population being edited erroneously in Template:UN_population. I reversed the edit there, and it fixed the problem in this article (and some other ones that also were linked to the template).  AuH2ORepublican (talk) 19:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

The Iguazu Falls are also Argentine
Gallery - Tourism 80% of the Iguazú Falls are in Argentina and mostly managed there. Can I edit and show that they are also a tourist place in Argentina? In addition to adding another Argentine tourist destination: Mar del Plata. Alan Rib. (talk) 02:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
