message: Hello, Ammarpad.  After posting this, I'll be reverting the description of Peru in the first sentence back to its original use of "country" (instead of "sovereign state").  But I think an explanation is merited, and I'll provide it here.The original change (from "country" to "sovereign state") was made by an IP address as part of a series of similar edits made to other articles about countries.  None of these changes were accompanied by an edit summary, nor was there any Talk page discussion prior to making the change.  All of these changes were reverted either by myself or by another editor.  When reverting back to the IP's preferred phrase. you justified it in your edit summary by saying (essentially)  "the IP's not wrong -- Peru  a sovereign state".  And that, of course, is true.  But "country", "nation" and "state" are all equally correct words and none of them are "more correct" than the others.  More to the point, there is no uniformity on Wikipedia as to how countries should be described in the initial sentence.  Indeed, there are some that don't use any of those words -- they go directly to describing the form of government (e.g., "The United States is a federal republic", "Italy is a unitary parliamentary republic").  And in the absence of this uniformity, there needs to be a justification for change that goes beyond "well, my preferred version isn't incorrect".  This is especially true for this article here, which began to take on its "Wikified" appearance back in 2002.  At that very early stage, the first sentence read "Peru is a country ...".  That language remained unchanged for more than fifteen years, until the IP decided that their way was better.  Such long-standing stability should be respected and not undone without discussion.You might be aware that there is currently some controversy about how the first sentences of country articles have become increasingly loaded with technical detail.  I see the IP's desire to use a technical term ("sovereign state") instead of the common one ("country") as falling into this same area of concern.  The Countries WikiProject would do well to establish a Manual of Style for these articles.  But until they do, fifteen years of stability on this particular article is a strong argument for maintaining the status quo.  And if you still feel strongly about making the change, I encourage you to start an RfC on the matter.  I'll be happy to participate in it, especially given that such an RfC might be the catalyst for standardising the way the information is presented in all country articles.I'll be happy to discuss this further with you and I look forward to hearing your comments.

message: The article is inappropriately using the state flag, which is only used by the government in official state-sponsored events. The most adequate version to use would be the civilian flag, which can be used by anyone not representing the state. Also, the spanish version of the article is using the civilian flag.

Obviously the Quechua form given is equivalent to Republic of Peru and República del Perú.  What about Aymara Suyu, does that correspond to Republic or to something like land?

message: There's complete chaos in naming the Peruvian administrative divisions on WP. This article's section Peru#Administrative_divisions claims there are 24 departments plus Lima Province but links to Administrative divisions of Peru, which says there are 24 regions (subdivided into provinces) plus Lima Province and links to Regions of Peru. That article explains in a chaotic way that apparently legislation was passed according to which the departments have been or are to be turned into regions, but it doesn't really explain what the result is. On the contrary, its introduction claims the process has been completed but its section has the heading Regions_of_Peru#Departments but simultaneously lists them as regions! 
And then there are editors who move individual articles back and forth between names switching region/department such as has happened with Department of Loreto and Department of Huancavelica. What is the real situation and please fix this mess immediately, at least on Peru! --Espoo (talk) 15:41, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Regions have been legally authorized, but no region currently truly exists (except for Callao). Oddly enough, each department has a separate Regional Government (Gobierno Regional) that rules over them. The departments are supposed to voluntarily unite to create regions (but none of them are doing it). The process of "regionalizing" Peru is anything but complete despite no progress seems to be occurring towards completing it. But, then again, that is not unusual for Peru.--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 20:10, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

There's this text box that every Wikipedia article has. It's always located on the right side of the first paragraph of every Wikipedia article. I don't what's it called. But it needs an urgent (simple) change: the irregular distribution of the size of the word "(Spanish)" displayed in the text box. Let's see how it's distributed:
In the motto, (Spanish) size is good
Anthem: (Spanish) size is too small
March: (Spanish) size is good again
National seal: (Spanish) size is small again!!
Please, someone, change it! I don't know how to do it. --RicardoMontano2323 (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

message: The status of the flag in Peru is similar to the German flag: The flag with the coat of arms is the STATE FLAG, which means it should only be used by the state in official events (i.e, the goverment's website, state buildings, etc). Elsewhere, the flag without the coat of arms is the most appropiate version to display and should be used by anyone who is not representing the goverment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenoir9898 (talk • contribs) 22:05, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

message: The flag of Peru without the coat of arms is technically the civil flag of Peru. The flag with the coat of arms is the state flag of Peru. Both flags are known as the bandera nacional (national flag), but the flag without the coat of arms is also known as the la enseña nacional (The national ensign) Would it be okay for me to use the state flag of Peru (with the coat of arms) as the main flag of Peru under the Wikipedia article about Peru, or leave the civil flag without the coat of arms as the Peruvian flag displayed for that article?

message: I find that the lead has much historical detail. Maybe too much, for example, two gratuitous facts about ancient Peruvian civilizations and two independence-related dates 1821 and 1824. Such details may make it less clear for the reader to quickly get a grand picture of Peruvian history from the lead. If some of this is trimmed down it could be worth considering to include one sentence of either social, economic, religious or colonial history.  Dentren | Talk 10:57, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
