Talk:Arica y Parinacota Region

Border Dispute

• The whole recent border dispute between Peru and Chile is regarding the limits of this new Region. Before that, the only other mayor dispute between both countries involved their territorial waters. Since the legislation creating this new Region was declared unconstitutional, ignoring this as part of the history of the region is not wise at all.
• This whole paragraph doesn't belong to the War of the Pacific at all. It might be included in the Treat of Ancon and the Treaty of Lima (both regarding the frontier between Peru and Chile).
• Under what type of arguments are you removing this information?

Please avoid erasing. Messhermit 17:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I have also removed sympathetic claims towards the Peruvian side for the sake of neutrality. Hopefully, this will end the dispute. Messhermit 17:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Clean up of typos, grammar, and some suggested reference

Hi, Could the author/maintainer of this page clean up a little:

• there are some typos (for example "aproved" vs. "approved")
• some of the grammar could be improved for readability (for example: change "A possible border dispute was averted when the Chilean Constitutional Court ruled on January 26th, 2007 formally unconstitutional legislation, that Peru said could be seen as a move by Chile to encroach on its maritime territorial sovereignty." into "Peru has maintained that this could be seen as a move by Chile to encroach on its maritime territorial sovereignty. A possible border dispute was averted on January 26, 2007, when the Chilean Constitutional Court formally ruled this legislation unconstitutional."
• add a reference to "The Chilean deputies and senators that aproved the law said they didn't notice this error" as this not something from the Xinhua reference.

I haven't make these changes myself since I'm just an "incidental" visitor to the page :). Thanks! Ramonk 11:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

isnt the real name of this new region Arica y Parinacota? The naming of all regions in Chile should follow the same logic. If using Arica-Parinacota, Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region should be Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region or Magallanes-Antártica Chilena Region.

• Well, there are only 2 other regions that could have English names. On is Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region which has been at Magallanes and Chilean Antártica Region in the past. The other is the Santiago Metropolitan Region which has always been at its English name. — AjaxSmack 02:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
• Even the Spanish language sources very often refer to it as "Arica-Parinacota", with or without hyphen [1], so I guess it's safer to leave it as it is: it's not incorrect, and it's arguably more in line with WP:UE. Duja► 11:07, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The origin of the "Arica-Parinacota" name is the proposed name for the region while it was in discussion in the Senate. But the approved law says "Región de Arica y Parinacota" without the hyphen... and that's the official name. But the hyphenated version is still used widely. --B1mbo 02:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• • Move denied. No consensus and evidence that current name is also used in Spanish [2]. Physchim62 (talk) 21:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I suppose this was an attempt to close; moving the comment here from RM. Dekimasuよ! 12:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

ARTICLE REFERS TO REGION OR TO BORDER DISPUTE?

This is an article about the Arica and Parinacota Region, but 90% of it refers to a Border dispute, what the parties think about it and including all links to this issue listed. Seems definitely exagerated to me. 1 Sentence to this issue should be enough and set a link to the Border issue link! --94.79.133.102 (talk) 01:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
