................................. The Robbery section is absolutely terrible. Some types of crime, it says, "are a problem." Other types are "prevalent." Furthermore, "[t]here have been incidents" of other types of crime. This type of "information" is practically useless. They give the reader essentially no information other than that Paraguay is not a crime-free nation, which I think is probably common knowledge. No one needs to look at wikipedia to learn such a thing. A much more useful paragraph would give you some sort of comparative information such as that the robbery rate is three times as high as that of the US, or roughly equal to that of New York City, or something of that sort. (I do not mean to suggest that those are the actual rates.) Incidentally, why would I need to cite my sources for the type of comment I have just made regarding potential improvements in the article? Do I really need to cite well-known writing handbooks or experts on how to write? Shouldn't the "cite your sources" rule be revised as a rule to cite your sources if your comment disputes the content rather than suggests ways it should be improved? As stated, the "cite your sources" rule potentially would deter people like me from making useful suggestions.Moviemn (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moviemn (talk • contribs) 14:35, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
