To-do list for Afro–Latin Americans:
Place importance on nations with significant or outspoken Afrodescendent populations. Nicaragua and Panama are nations with such populations. Can someone review changes made to the text/chart, keeping an eye out for unquoted text (even with citation), unsourced facts placed in the text, and demographic facts (which seems to be changed every few days or weeks)? Why is the person who changes the demographic information so persistent and what source is this person using to base his changes. Feel free to edit this list, removing items you attend to and adding tasks that need to be done. |
This topic contains controversial issues, some of which have reached a consensus for approach and neutrality, and some of which may be disputed. Before making any potentially controversial changes to the article, please carefully read the discussion-page dialogue to see if the issue has been raised before, and ensure that your edit meets all of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please also ensure you use an accurate and concise edit summary. |

External links
[edit]- There are twenty entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
- ELpoints #3) states:
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
- LINKFARM states:
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
- WP:ELMIN:
Minimize the number of links
. - WP:ELCITE:
...access dates are not appropriate in the external links section. Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
- WP:ELBURDEN:
Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

- I think many, if not all, of these links/sources could be incorporated into the main text, rather than being external links. I think a few external links would be fine, but I'm not sure which one of these would be a good external link. Historyday01 (talk) 16:56, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Is Canada's Quebec Latin America?
[edit]Quebec speaks French (latin language) therefore it should also be considered Latin America. 194.38.172.194 (talk) 13:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Latin America says "...in summary, Hispanic America, plus Brazil and Haiti. Canada and the United States, despite having sizeable Romance-speaking communities, are almost never included in the definition, primarily for being predominantly English-speaking Anglosphere countries."
