Administrative divisions section

The sentence beginning 'Original indigenous government' needs reworking slightly - perhaps along the lines of 'vested in the local (geographical-administrative units).' Jackiespeel (talk) 10:04, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notice to editors who delete paragraphs from the page - discuss first, don't delete

Personally, I have added some info to the bolivia page. If you disagree with my previous edits- we can talk it out. Seems obvious but needed to be said given today's incident - don't delete enormous amounts of info on this page either recklessly or deliberately with political intent, but discuss here first.

Considering this is indeed a political topic, I would expect there will be no shortage of people wanting to delete certain info and use partisan and questionable reasoning. Examples in the past day, was disputes on Ethical Hacking and David Rosnick. Ie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/985021134 and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/985023721

Of course, edit warring is not okay. Hence if you want to delete such info about Ethical Hacking or David Rosnick, take it to here and make your arguments here and show your proof. And if anyone deletes large amounts of info prematurely using flawed reasoning or no reasoning, do expect an editor to nudge you to give your reasoning on the talk page and to discuss it out first. Cheers from down under. 49.180.129.245 (talk) 09:19, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

wiphala

The Wiphala is the dual national flag of Bolivia. It should be prominently displayed on the wikipedia page. In my opinion, the tricolour flag should keep the coat of arms, and the wiphala should replace the coat of arms next to it on the wiki page. Or, alternatively, the tricolour flag should not have the coat of arms, the coat of arms can stay, and the wiphala should go underneath. This should be done ASAP.

Flag of the Patujú flower

The secondary flag of Bolivia the Wiphala appears on the infobox on this article. Should the Flag of the Patujú flower also be included? It's used in all official acts of state and the page Flag of Bolivia also includes it.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Krisgabwoosh (talk) 17:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
