Talk:Argentina/Archive 3

message: Les felicito por el muy preciso artículo que están editando relacionado a mi país. Pero veo algunas discusiones respecto a la composición "racial" argentina.Como antropólogo que soy les puedo decir que no existen "razas humanas",sino variedades de la sola especie (Homo sapiens sapiens), unas de piel más pigmentada otras de piel menos pigmentada,unas de párpados más rasgados otras de párpados menos rasgados,etc.Tales variedades (derivadas de adaptaciones a condiciones ambientales allí donde surgieron) son llamadas demes. Por lo demás...todo ser humano es mestizo. Me pongo como ejemplo:por mi formación cultural,como muchísimos argentinos,soy predominantemente "europeo" (la música que más me agrada es la de J.S.Bach y la de Mahler),algunos de las obras literarias que prefiero son:la Illiada,La Orestiada,Hamlet,El Quijote,La Divina Comedia... En lo fisotípico,como la mayoría de los argentinos,tengo aspecto nétamente "europeo",aunque es probable que un examen de ADN revele que tengo (como muchos argentinos) algun/os ancestr/os "indio/s" y ¿quién sabe?...hasta melanoafricano/s,...aunque mis hermanos sean rubios y de ojos azules,y yo tenga pelos rubios en la barba y el bigote y la piel tan clara que debo cuidarme bastante del sol. Quíen sabe,es probable que un examen de ADN en gran parte de la actual población europea de Europa(valga el pleonasmo) indique ancestros mongoles,etc...,en tal sentido,los argentinos somos muy europeos y...sin que haya contradicción ,bastante mestizos. Según un estudio realizado por la Universidad Buenos Aires,en la actualidad el 56% de la población residente en Argentina tiene por lo menos a un ancestro "indio",tal estudio es el de la población residente ,lo que incluye a más de cuatro millones de bolivianos y paraguayos,tal estudio excluye a ¿2 millones? de argentinos y argentinas que están fuera del país. Les saluda un Argentino.
If you want to write in Spanish, you may log in to the Argentina article in spanish. It would be good if the only language used on the English version be English.
In the name of our comunity:
If you want to critizise peple who help with good faith, i reccomend you not to put your nose in other people's matters. You seem to be sweddish? Aint you? WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS ARTICLE?? the non-argentines that have contributed many times in this article are less than the fingers of one hand (if you understand that) so if YOU cant take the time to use a translator, like this, you shouldnt come here to attack us.<BR>
This represents a typical argentine answer you would recive. Kindly, Argentino (Talk cont.) 15:32, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population 

message: I'm really tired, actually, because it says that the time zone is GMT -3, which is a mistake. I would not expect this common mistake from wikipedia, so I'm atonished. Look at this:, it states that Argentina is in the time zone GMT -4. If not, just use this as an example. During the Australian Open in melbourne, there we 14 hours of difference. We must surely afree that Melbourne is in GMT +10, right? Now well, some matches were at 7:30 PM in Melbourne time. Ok, if tehre were 13 hours of difference, then the match should be at 6:30 AM, right? Well, as a matter of fact, they weren't. They were at 5:30 AM, thus giving us a difference of 14 hours. 10 - 14 = -4. Now well, I'm really impressed at the magnitude of this problem, which has extended along the entire internet. So well, I will edit puting Argentina in the -4 time zone.
:The atlas is not very clearly scanned, but it's clear enough to show Argentina and half of Brazil painted green, the color of the -3 zone. Moreover, time system settings in all computers have GMT -3 as the zone for Buenos Aires. And finally, Melbourne is GMT +11 during the summer (it's Daylight Saving Time). I think your comment above was intended as a joke, though I didn't find it funny.  --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 21:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And that shows kindness? Maybe practising what you preach would be best. You start by accusing Wikipedia of a terrible mistake, rant about it without even thinking that you might be wrong, and then get mad when someone corrects you. It may not be kind to say so, but your mistake was extremely easy to correct. It's precisely because we're not friends in a chatroom that I took the time to explain my revert. That's my kind of courtesy; avoiding telling people that they're wrong is not. Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

text: PS: Time zones are artificial constructs and almost never coincide with meridians. In Argentina the sun sets (in time measured by the clock) 1 hour before in Buenos Aires than it does in Mendoza because we choose to have only one time zone. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 22:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to add the spanish and german wiki to the sources of the article. Do you think it is correct, not necessary or i should add all the URLs?

message: User:Clevelander has updated our map. He hadn't got enough time to ask, but he felt it was really urgent for us to have the Hawaii, the Galápagos Islands, Lakshadweep, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and a fixed border of Slovenia (and ¡Ceuta & Melilla!) in a map we can barely distinguish Poland from Germany.

replies: text: Well, having the section is OK, but having the information duplicated doesn't sound so good. I made a brief on the subject and left the link to the full article. Mariano(t/c) 07:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Added public holiday section

message: I think the language icons (  and  ) should be changed because they are confusing (at least to me). maybe with flags of Spain/UK it is easyer. I don't know you, but i had to concentrate too much to identify the languange (i mean, much more than i should if there were flags). And see, "spanish" and "english", have the same 3 last words, add to that the same format and colour.<BR>
