Why 2 articles?
[edit]There is also an article New World which seems to be about the same territory as this one. Does WP need both of them? BookeWorme (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- While the "new world" article is about the same territory, they both differ in content since they are about 2 different periods of time. I looked at "new world" and it’s about the past of america. It doesn’t have any unnecessary redundancy with this article. It could be compared as how there is an article about the 13 colonies and one about the United States. PhilbonQC (talk) 20:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- The "New World" article is about the term "the New World". There is very little overlap.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:00, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
"largely replaced the indigenous population"
[edit]The claim that old world emigration "largely replaced the indigenous population" seen in the introduction is true in some countries in the Americas, such as the United States, but not in countries like Mexico and Peru, where the majority of the population is either of chiefly indigenous or of Mestizo (part European and part Indigenous) descent. 81.96.124.171 (talk) 17:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is a fair point. I tried to adjust this to be less of a blanket statement. If you have a suggestion for an alternative, please feel free to request. CAVincent (talk) 04:27, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- I thinks that new wording is good. HiLo48 (talk) 04:48, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Change "The Americas, sometimes collectively called America," to "The Americas, collectively called America," because it is not "sometimes", it is the definition that appears in the citation JoPazBM (talk) 01:23, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

About Buenos Aires
[edit]The city of Buenos Aires holds around 3 million people, you are confusing it with the province of Buenos Aires that has around 19 million of inhabitants. This is a huge mistake. 181.44.220.246 (talk) 01:18, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
