message: "The Muisca were the indigenous inhabitants of the region and called the settlement where Bogotá was founded Bacatá, which in the Chibcha language means "The Lady of the Andes." Further, the word 'Andes' in the Aymara language means "shining mountain," thus rendering the full lexical signification of Bogotá as "The Lady of the shining mountain." "
May I say that I've seen far too many "explanations" without evidence.
For instance, the article "Bacatá" says that "The word is a combination of the Muysccubun words bac, ca and tá, and means "(enclosure) outside the farmfields", referring to the rich agricultural lands of the Sabana Formation on the Bogotá savanna." 
Also, most scholars actually believe that Andes comes from Quechua "anti" = "east". 
Anyway... what does it matter what "Andes" means in Aymará, since the Aymará live some 1,500 miles to the south?

message: It says that "1.2 percent of street addresses account for 99 percent of homicides", which at first sounds as though homicides are extremely concentrated locally. But actually this figure by itself doesn't mean anything. What's the overall ratio between street addresses and homicides? Or what percentage of streets addresses accounts for 100% percent of homicides? 2.203.201.113 (talk) 23:33, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

message: I’ve changed the photo in the collage from The Gold Museum to The Xavierian University, i think it looks better and represents the city as much as the museum. Let me know what do you think.

message: Paragraph 7 of the section “Twenty-first century” presents an unfair critique of the public transportation system that is also not born out by the cited source. The source in question, taken from the Spanish-language “About Us” > “History” page on Transmilenio system’s very own website, would surely not describe the system as polluting and inefficient. Indeed, they do not.
Critiques of the system certainly exist: for nearly twenty years, residents have complained of its overcrowding and cost, and in some cases this seems to have diminished its intended purpose to shorten transportation times and get cars off the road.
Here are English-language links that provide more detailed objections to the system:
