@ Roboting: While the new map at Colombia/Archive 4 § Demographics is more colorful, it's harder to see the yellow areas that cover much of the mountainous regions, especially at the scale in the article – the gray background was better at this. I also see that the place names are in French (e.g. OCÉAN PACIFIQUE, Mer des Antilles, Lac Maracaibo, Carthagène des Indes). Is there an alternative, perhaps by asking for another mashup at the image lab? (I do see it is the same map used on eswiki). —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 02:32, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

@
Collebud88: With
this edit, you removed |recognized_regional_languages=68 local languages and dialects
and
here, added a related note to |official_languages=
. As I understand it, |official_languages=
is used for languages that are official for the entire country, not just in individual territories. |recognized_regional_languages=
, where the note originally was, is used for the regional languages.
Also, in this edit, you reverted the link White Colombians to the less-specific White people. Is there a reason why you don't think the more specific link is correct? (ed.) —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 12:35, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
Re [2]: Collebud88, sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I really don't see where the source cited says Colombia is a regional power: all I can see there is a raw GDP data. It's a plausible claim as far as I'm concerned, but it's not in the source. As for the country being "transcontinental", that's not in the source either. But more importantly, I don't see why this should be relevant to mention in the article at all (and in the lede of all places!): the term is rarely used outside of wikipedia, and its application to Colombia seems due to a mere technicality that leaves the label practically meaningless. – Uanfala (talk) 11:32, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

As the headline says, there are maps in the page missing the department of San Andres y Providencia, therefore this department has no respective data shown. I'd like to mention that the San Andres y Providencia department is in the same administrative level as the other 31 departments in mainland, so it think is important to include San Andres y Providencia in those maps missing it. Those are maps with the issue that I found: 177.254.21.197 ( talk) 04:42, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
I don't believe the Colombian portion of the Darién Gap extends into North America. According to Geography_of_North_America, the dividing line is the Colombia-Panama border, meaning that all of the Colombian land is in South America. So I propose removing the reference to Colombia's Darien being in North America. Thoughts? Stonkaments ( talk) 15:49, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Ugh, not this again. I was involved with Collebud88 last year: they would insert superlative statements about Colombia, and when these were removed as misleading or not quite supported by the sources they've cited, they would simply revert (and revert, and revert..) without ever bothering to participate in the ensuing discussions (like this one [3]). As far as I can see from a quick glimpse, the exact same things appear to be happening again: addition of statements showing how great the country is (including ones, like the one about it being a regional power, that were debunked in the previous discussion), stubborn edit-warring when reverted, and no participation in the talk page discussion. Collebud88, if you continue to refuse to engage in talk page discussions and simply revert others, the only thing you can reasonably expect to achieve is getting yourself blocked. – Uanfala (talk) 00:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC).

DANE, the Administrative Department responsible for the official statistics of Colombia, has been called out by various human rights' organizations such as The National Afro-Colombian Peace Council - CONPA., as being statistically genocidal. An official quote from them here "...... we conclude that it is an institutional error that translates into statistical genocide". As the National Afro-Colombian Peace Council - CONPA, we categorically reject these results" https://www.cepal.org/mujer/noticias/noticias/5/27905/FUrrea.pdf. User:ProEra30047.
The colombian government has been responsible for many atrocities, it has never had the best interest of the colombian people. From the banana masacre of 1928 to the "falsos postivos" of today, they have shown time and again they have no interest in building a democracy. The fact that the international community has turned a blind eye to this not surprising, most of the top leaders in the country work for them
second, There is no way you read that pdf i sent you and didnt grasp the part where the organization calls it a "statistical genocide". Here's some more files if you still have any doubts https://www.okayafrica.com/afro-colombians-demand-to-be-counted-in-census/ https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1277501/download
third, no colombian or anyone who has visited the country would ever believe that 88% is white and that therre are only 6% afro colombians
Now that you metntion the UN, The [apparent] decrease in the number of Afro-Colombians in the 2018 census compared to the 2005 census was preciously criticized the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination https://raceandequality.org/english/colombia-undergoes-review-by-the-un-cerd-committee-as-afro-colombian-civil-society-organizations-participate/
The Colombian newspaper El Espectador states that scholars and researchers estimate that a quarter of the Colombian population is Afro-Colombian (El Espectador 9 Nov. 2019). https://www.elespectador.com/noticias/economia/resultados-del-censo-evidencian-un-genocidio-estadistico-organizaciones-afro/
DANE,the Administrative Department who did this "report",has proven to be inconsistent/unreliable many times, and unfortunately not just with this case. They even admitted they made a "mistake" Dilian Francisca Toro, a human right activist, even had to go out her away to correct DANE whwere welcomed the and they had to change their initial calculations. How ever this was just for el valle de cauca, one out of the many departments in colombia. ahttps://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/otras-ciudades/el-error-del-dane-que-borro-del-mapa-a-1-3-millones-de-afros-436936
"With over 50 million inhabitants Colombia is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world"
The ethnically part might work, but linguistically diverse seems highly unjustified. Almost 100% of Colombians speak Spanish. It is true that there are a relatively large number of languages spoken in the country, but only by very small numbers and only in remote areas. I think when the average reader sees linguistically diverse, they will assuming a situation more like India or Nigeria. Really, even 71 languages is not enough to say "one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world".
Ethnically is also a bit questionable. There are different races, but most Colombians consider themselves one culture.
So, I propose changing this sentence to something like "With over 50 million inhabitants Colombia is an ethnically diverse country... Spanish is the official language and the native language of the vast majority of citizens, but over 70 languages are spoken within the country." Last edited by: ( talk) 02:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Good afternoon. I have adjusted the tempo of the US Navy Band's rendition of Colombia's National Anthem to the correct tempo (a few clicks faster than original .ogg). I request that the audio file attached replace the current audio file. If this is not permitted, please delete. Also I am unsure how to add subtitles.

There is exactly one sentence about the drug trade and no mention of Pablo Escobar. Sure feels like somebody wants this information erased. Columbians may now be embarrassed by Escobar and his cohorts, but they were a huge influence on the economy and politics of Columbia in the 1970s and 80s - it doesn't seem in keeping with Wikipedia policy to supress this information just because it is awkward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syfymusic ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

You have put the wrong percentage for Afro Colombians. We are actually 9.34% of Colombia’s population. May you please change it Jnate0928 ( talk) 17:37, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Racist section, Colombians are Indigenous Latinos not "White/Mestizo". Mestizo is a racial slur based on the Spanaird caste system, just like Mulatto. Its use on Wikipedia and bigoted mis-identification of millions of Indigenous Latinos goes against the websites guidelines and historical facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:5CA:C302:43D0:D4A0:631B:8D7D:D159 ( talk) 02:26, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

As a left-leaning Colombian citizen myself, I understand that we are very excited about Petro becoming president, but I need to remind you that he is not the president until his inaguration, which will happen on August the 7th. Until then, Duque will continue to be president. Petro is president-elect As such, I think that the fact box should not have Petro as presdent just yet. I don't know if he could be added there as president elect until his inaguration, leaving Duque as president.

Change this sentence in the lede: "Colombia is recognized for its healthcare system, being the best healthcare in the Americas according to the World Health Organization and 22nd in the world."
To: "Colombia is recognized for its healthcare system, being the best healthcare in Latin America according to the World Health Organization and 22nd in the world."
Per the sources. Neither source says it has "the best healthcare in the Americas," the WHO source simply says it has "the best in Latin America." Meanwhile, the second source is literally a company selling health insurance, and thus not a reliable source. 2603:7000:CF0:7570:6C10:DF46:D4D7:D416 ( talk) 16:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
