Timeline of Bogotá

What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content. Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 16:41, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bogotá Location

Bogotá is the capital of Colombia, a country located in between Venezuela, Ecuador, and Brazil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.99.201.41 (talk) 00:58, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bogota Metropolitan Area

Actually, there is no official Metropolitan area in Bogota. Bogota alongside the municipalities of Chía, Cota, Soacha, Cajicá, La Calera, Madrid, Funza, Mosquera, Tabio, Tenjo and El Rosal do not form an entity nor from a political, administrative, taxative , nor in terms of infrastructure nor in terms of public investment nor in terms of culture. Many people in Bogota "feel" their city is bigger than what the numbers suggest and of course many people who actually work in Bogota commute from those municipalities but by no means nearer municipalities form a metropolitan area by default. The "Bogota Metropolitan area" is just totally made up and it has to be removed from the article. The citations to prove the 13 million inhabitants claim do not proof the existence of the Metropolitan Area, they just simply summed the official stats for some municipalities that in the editor's view (the one who added that) "should " conform the metropolitan area. Totally contrary to what encyclopedic should be. 190.159.33.45 (talk) 04:49, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


You have some good points, but you have to realize that not all major cities around the world have official metropolitan areas (recognized by the government), so that argument isn't very convenient here. Bogota already has an unofficial metropolitan area defined by DANE, but it's very dated. In order to be consistent, we will define a metropolitan area as one or more central cities and its associated outlying municipalities. To qualify as an outlying municipality, the municipality must have at least 1.5% of its resident population aged 15 and above commuting to school or work into one of the central cities. To qualify as a central city, a city must either be a designated city of any population or a non-designated city with a city proper population of at least 500,000. This definition follows the Major City < Commuter Town pattern, which is very evident in the Bogota Plateau.

Also, population projections are seen a lot in Wikipedia. If the sources are accurate and reliable, why would we remove the data? The best we could do is move the data to the Demographics section. 70.26.215.33 (talk) 18:10, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Introduction needs urgent copy-editing

Hello. I think it was a good initiative to expand the introduction of this article as was done earlier this month, however at this stage the level of English is rather poor and the result is sometimes confusing. Biwom (talk) 09:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"It has a length of 33 km (21 mi) from south to north, and 16 km (10 mi) from east to west." I've never heard of cities having lengths.
"As the capital, home to senior agencies of the executive branch (President's Office), legislative (Congress of Colombia) and judicial (Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, Council of State and the Superior Council of the Judiciary)." This sentence has no verb.
"According to The Economist, in economic terms, Bogotá is known for its economic strength associated with the size of their production facilities to create companies and do business, financial maturity, attracting global companies and the quality of its human capital." This doesn't make any sense to me.
Thank you, Biwom (talk) 06:26, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Biwom and have just made an edit to at least begin the desired improvement. The main change I made was to remove some passages which seemed to me repetitive and redundant — especially bearing in mind that lead sections ought to be as brief as they feasibly can be! Harfarhs (talk) 16:34, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the earlier comments and have rewritten the intro a bit. Added commented out chapters to show the paragraph topics. Reading on it is still quite poor, will work on the history a bit more in the future. Tisquesusa (talk) 08:23, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Updates of the transport system section

@Calebmateo99: has made necessary improvements on the transport system of Bogotá. An IP editor, editing under 181.137.12.115 has reverted those changes, upon which I reverted again and it was reverted without discussion. Hence this section on the Talk Page. What was there in the article was outdated; the transport system is in constant change. E.g. before the SITP (the transport agency) was not as centralised as it is now; Transmilenio passes are now also used on the regular SITP buses. If the IP editor disagrees with the sources given or information updated; post other sources to correct it. Not brutally reverting without addressing the updates done, that is not constructive. This is the place to discuss and settle those issues. Tisquesusa (talk) 03:35, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Excessively detailed and unimportant information. What matters is knowing about the means of transport that has the city.--181.137.12.115 (talk) 19:15, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel that the information is excessively detailed then feel free to simplify it. An excessively detailed explanation of the current system is better than a simple explanation of the former system that no longer exists. As @Tisquesusa: said, simply reverting the updates rather than trying to improve them is not constructive or productive. Thanks, Calebmateo99 (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You can update the information, but you should make easy to read the article and you should speak only of the means of transport in the city without the boring and unnecessary details.--181.137.12.115 (talk) 16:06, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
