message: The earthquake in 1972, how many did die? here it says abit over 19.000, but the article linked to as sources says "up to 10.000 are killed in nicaraguan capital, Managua"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.183.75.13 (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

message: What exactly was the role of the Sandanistas in gathering deaf children together in schools "to engender Socialistic education" as this page claims? A similar claim was previously made on the ISN page — specifically that the school was set up by the Sandanistas — but in fact the school where the language emerged was opened in 1977 — two years before the revolution. Is there any reason to believe that the Sandanistas and/or socialism have anything other than a co-incidental role in the birth of this language? ntennis 05:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The article states that La Prensa is the most important/independent newspaper in Nicaragua. This is a very personal POV as La Prensa is as much right-wing as El Nuevo Diario is left-wing. --Magicartpro 22:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The title of the cited article is "La Prensa" newspaper and its journalists harassed for reporting on alleged corruption and does not evidence the statement of La Prensa being "by far the most important and independent newspaper of the nation".

thread_title:  La Prensa vs. El Nuevo Diario 

message: I hate to word it this way, but I've been living in Managua for months; I know the local and the foreign opinions (coming from America and Germany); and to me, this article has a very definite skew. "Surprisingly the safest city in Central America, and possibly all Americas"? I haven't looked closely, but I don't think I would find anything that is outright untrue; just opinions and putting the "best light" on a lot of things, like the highway condition and the commute situation. What about the crime? What about the lack of centralization? Poverty? Did this come from the Nicaraguan government - trying to attract tourism? (From the way they work, I wouldn't be surprised if it did.) I will look into this article more thoroughly.
Incidentally, while I have only a partial view of the situation, I have a North American contact here who has lived in Managua for over 10 years. She took a look at the article, and agrees with me both that the article is distinctly slanted, and that it appears to have been done so by the Nicaraguan government itself.
hmmm. maybe not the safest city of all the Americas, but the crime rate is defenetely much lower than those of other cities in Latin America. It is partly biased, but I see nothing trully wrong with it. The lack of centralization you mention should be mentioned.

thread_title: Date of establishment as the national capital

message: I have been working in managua's barrios for months, and I notice an important lack of information concerning the social situation of the country. There are dangerous drugs cartels in the city. There is terrifying poverty and la chureca, the municipal dump, is one of the biggest in central america and I find important to mention it. Unfortunatly, I still have some difficulties to write in english, but I will work on a small article about that, maybe you can support me by correcting some grammatical faults. Furthermore, I think it is extremly important to show the good and the bad sides of this country I personaly adore, because if tourists consult this article, they must be aware of how it really is, to prepare themselves before departure. Most of the cooperants I know in Managua have been through dangerous situations implicating guns and thiefs or just intimidation, so it would be a mustake to ignore that. :)- Dobara
:Isolated incidents do not correctly depict the entire nation nor the entire capital. The dump's mentioning doesn't seem significant for one big reason: no one really goes there. It has no substantial value in terms of defining the city. As such, when we talk about places like New York City where I am from, no one really speaks bad about the city's housing projects until you reach an article that specifically describes in detail the situation. The dump doesn't have significance in this article. If you wish to address this problem (with sources), create an article.Mbhskid520 (talk) 06:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

message: In th Nicaragua imigration section why isn't there any true intformation on there? There is well over half a million of Nicaraguans that live in costa rica and around 50,000 that live in El Salvador. All because these two countries have jobs something that Nicaragua doesn't have. plus many leave the extreme poverty in Nicaragua. Here is some articles that information needs to be on there any costa rican, salvadoran or central american person that comes across this article will ofcourse imediately know that it is very untrue.

thread_title: File:Rotonda Ruben Dario.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: There has been ample conversation, in fact a very elaborate and extensive explanation on the origin of the word, along with how to modify or alter the individuals from a particular place.  In this instance the inhabitants of the city of Managua, in Nicaragua.   Many editors have switched the demonym from the correct version of the "managüenses" to the "managuas."  The latter is no more than the plural of the inhabitants.  By this logic, people from Nicaragua are NOT nicaraguans, but "nicaraguas".  Similarly, people from León, Granada and the like, one just adds a "s" to denote their inhabitants.  Nothing is ever so simple.  The arguments of the "managuas" also fall flat, primarily because the náhuatl root is the same for the Guegüense and Nicaragua.  Thus, we must disagree with the "managuas" and the simple plural of its inhabitants.  Furthermore, the many inhabitants consider themselves to be "managüenses."  It appears that rather than editing or dealing with forever debating, the political class will have to be involved to make the decree official.  It is the hope it is our position.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tu Escritor (talk • contribs) 00:17, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
