Request edit of economy section

It should be noted that the CPI used to measure corruption is under harsh critisism and that the global corruption barmeter released by the same organization (transparency international) places Argentina in the place 31 of 95 countries, with levels of bribery well below the world's average.

Need edit to lead section

The second sentence of the last paragraph in the lead appears to be missing one or more words. It currently reads, "A major non-NATO ally of the United States, Argentina is a developing country with the second-highest in Latin America after Chile." I'm guessing that it's supposed to say "second-highest GDP" but I'm not sure. -- 68.47.9.144 (talk) 16:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the sentence originally read "A major non-NATO ally of the United States, Argentina is a developing country that ranks 47th in the Human Development Index, the second-highest in Latin America after Chile." I would suggest restoring this sentence. ChristopherPtak (talk) 19:08, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 May 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Restore the text "that ranks 47th in the Human Development Index," which was removed from the last paragraph of the top section, making the sentence malformed. Alternatively the affected sentence could be edited to be more grammatical, but the claim about Argentina's position in the HDI is still true, so I would recommend simply adding the text back.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Lightoil (talk) 04:31, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Argentina. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
