Request the two mentions of Air Force be changed to Aerospace Force to reflect the new name of the Colombian Aerospace Force. Page has already been moved. 75.163.131.46 (talk) 16:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Mestizo-White

The "Mestizo-White" label wouldnt be acuratte as the govenrment does not specify the number as being mestizo white, and it doesnt include minority groups such as mulatto or east asian. It would be best to keep it as "no ethnic affiliation" as its presented in other pages relating to this topic. This is also because the colombian government doesn't collect data on specifically mestizos or whites instead counting afro and indigenous colombians. Moxy.

Looks like this was done all over https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/colombia/ Moxy- 14:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

So maybe change it to "Mestizo and White" ? Slatersteven (talk) 14:21, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Agree we should follow the source https://cers.leeds.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/97/2016/04/Multicultural-harmony-in-Colombia-Beth-Brady.pdf Moxy- 14:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

https://geoportal.dane.gov.co/servicios/atlas-estadistico/src/Tomo_I_Demografico/3.4.-poblaci%C3%B3n-por-grupos-%C3%A9tnicos.html is how tha government labels the ethnic groups Zaquezipe (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The problem is that as this does not define who , 85.9% are (outside of "no ethnicity") this is not much help. This does not support your edit of white, rather it would support "no identified ethnicity", but even then, this is one source. Slatersteven (talk) 15:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

OK, can I make the change of changing "Human ethnicity and biological diversity" to "Race and ethnicity in Colombia", as that is the name of the article and the previous one is an unnecessary rewording. Zaquezipe (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

We do to have a section titled that. If you want to change the name of a page you need to make a case at that article, not here. Slatersteven (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Recommend adding "." to caption after "on the continent" for consistency. RCM741989 (talk) 16:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect statement on economy

I'd edit this myself but the page is locked.

The economy section asserts that "Colombia is now one of only three economies with a perfect score on the strength of legal rights index". The World Bank source PDF it cites is no longer there, but looks to be out of date anyway (2017).

According to my own research at https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IC.LGL.CRED.XQ?most_recent_value_desc=true&locations=CO , Colombia has never had a perfect score. It peaked at 11 out of 12.

There are (and have been) countries that do have a perfect score, for example New Zealand. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IC.LGL.CRED.XQ?most_recent_value_desc=true&locations=NZ Onetruedave (talk) 14:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
