Talk:Puerto Williams

message: I think Puerto Toro (could be written with Torro) is the southernmost continuously inhabitted spot, despite of common misconceptions. It is a small town shown on Chilean maps a bit south of Puerto Williams.
Puerto Toro is indeed the southernmost continuously inhabiabited area in the world. (map:http://www.turistel.cl/mapas_ruteros/rut_k_1.htm). It is a very small town made up of about 50 fishermen and their families.
:Puerto Toro is a hamlet (caserio), not a "town" (pueblo), according to the INE with a population of 36 in the 2002 census.--JAXHERE | Talk 16:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Puerto Williams is located on Navarino Island, not in Tierra del Fuego.

replies: text: Tierra del Fuego is the name of the archipelago (or the name of a Chilean province, but we talk about islands here). The main island is called Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. Navarino is one of the islands of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.--Ratzer (talk) 13:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Puerto Williams

message: Is another town with politic administration, city hall and publics offices southern than Puerto Williams?
no, doesn't. Then, Puerto Williams is The Southern Town in The World and this condition must to be included in the first block. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.120.188.172 (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was already included in the third paragraph, that's why undid the addition of that information to the very first paragraph of the article.Kilroytech 14:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

text: There is a commercial dispute between Puerto Williams and Ushuaia which is the southernmost settlement or town or city in the world (PW is further south, but is arguably little more than a naval base despite attempts to dignify it).  Wikipedia either should not get involved in this or should report it in a balanced and impartial way.  I have removed references.  Deipnosophista (talk) 22:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  There is no dispute anymore... it was resolved by the governments of Chile and Argentina, and it was accepted, that Puerto Williams is officially recognized as southernmost city. You can check the link in the article, which will lead you to an even argentinian source, which confirms the chilean option as southermost city.

replies: text: The link in the article is talks about a old agremment from the 1990s i dont think it has been ratified/agreed, why should ushuaia or the argentien government agree? Is there any other source that talks about this agreement? I could be false.. Dentren | Talk 22:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The link we are talking about, is not from 1990, but 1998, but anyway this wouldn't be a point to invalidate the argument. It mentions, that a comitee of oficial representants of both countries has formed and decided, that Puerto Williams would be recognized as southernmost city. I see no reason to negate or discredit this source, as it is coming from Argentina's most important newspaper El Clarin . --194.203.215.254 (talk) 09:20, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you read the talk page of Ushuaia you will see that this suposed agreement was rejected by the Argentine congress see and http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=101904 Dentren | Talk 14:36, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Southern Town and Population 

message: Because I'm getting tired of this arguing to and fro over this slogan, is there consensus to say that in the respective articles:
A)(here) Puerto Williams is sometimes considered the Southernmost City in the world
b)Ushuaia is sometimes considered the Southernmost City in the world
c)Punta Arenas is sometimes considered the Southernmost City in the world
and then make a separate WP article called 'The Southernmost City in the world
is there any consensus for this? Actually I'll start that article and hope the sections on southernmost city can be all sent there. Chuckarg33 (talk) 05:13, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with all points you have mentioned, but I dont see why there should be such article. Each "city" article where the settlement is claiming to be the southernmost city have explantions. I dont see why the discussion should be aponened again (in that article). The subject seems more interesting to wikipedians than others because I still havent found any source on internet that adresses these claims comparing the cities.
