:La Plata is one of the largest cities in Argentina, capital of Argentina's largest province, with an internationally important paleontological museum, on the Rio de la Plata by which 20 million people live. I think it's right that this is the La Plata, but perhaps a line at the top to redirect the occasional searcher for another, much smaller La Plata to a disambiguation page could be useful.

message: Some people have added some things without any proper justification.  For example, the Freemason symbolism of La Plata.  I think that this statements should be either justified with enough facts to make them uncontroversial, or properly qualified in their character of speculations, or urban myths.    Also, I think it is not very useful to put vague statements like "personalities from the spanish speaking world came to La Plata to work in the University"  Who are they?  When did they come?  
S.
:In any case, such dubious or vague claims need to be supported by citations.  If no citations are forthcoming, the claims should be removed.  Skinsmoke (talk) 18:11, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I lived in greater La Plata for seven days short of a year.  I learned the street numbers while I was there, but it has been a while, so I don't remember what the street numbers change to when going northwest across the tracks.  However, I'm not just interested for my own personal knowledge.  La Plata is a planned city that has (as far as I know) a unique way of numbering the streets.  There should be a map of this city that we could use on this page, along with how and why the streets are numbered like this. — Val42 (talk) 17:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Map

message: This article was recently cut & paste moved to La Plata, Buenos Aires. I disagree with the move because I believe that La Plata in Argentina easily fulfils the primary usage guideline. The other settlements with the name are villages and a small town in the US and a small town in Colombia. None of them can be seen as being anywhere near as important as a city (pop: 690,000) which is the capital of Buenos Aires Province (pop:15,000,000). If anyone feels that the article needs to be moved, please request it properly on this talkpage. Thanks King of the North East 20:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article has too many images, and there are three sections where text gets "sandwiched" between images, or between an image and an infobox or table. Some images should be removed, or there should be more text to make the images more distant from each other (or perhaps both things). This page is a better place to show all the images of the city in an organized gallery MBelgrano (talk) 01:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I did a first pass on the article, through the Sports topic. A few notes: 
- The wording and formatting could probably use another polish in general
- There's still some information on here that's either too detailed, belongs on linked pages instead of this one, or both
- The numbers under the Population section don't appear to be correct. I went to INDEC's website and downloaded the 2010 census and it provided a total population of 654,324 (Provincia de Buenos Aires, partido La Plata. Población total por sexo e índice de masculinidad, según edad en años simples y grupos quinquenales de edad. Año 2010)  Aorandolph (talk) 22:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

message: La Plata is well known for its rectangular grid layout, which is almost perfectly aligned to a North-South direction  (well, the diagonals are, most streets run at 45 degrees to this) except that it's 3 degrees off.  Anyone know why it's so close, but not quite?  Andy Dingley (talk) 02:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
