GNI and GDP

I will continue our discussion here, since it is not directly related to the article on Mexico. Your theory is true. GNIs of both Mexico and Argentina are lower than their GDPs. GNI (total) of Mexico is actually the highest in LA (higher than Brazil) and GNI nominal per capita is also the highest in Latin America (LA). If you are interested, here are some .pdf files with a list of countries sorted by GNI Total Atlas Method, and GNI per capita Atlas and PPP. Atlas Method means that instead of taking a market exchange rate, they take the moving average of the exhange rate of the previous 3 years to "smooth" fluctuations and perform a "price-adjusting" mechanism as well.

Mexico's Standard of Living

Sounds good to me. After all, nobody responded, and you are right: the demographic section already includes that information. No sabía si escribirte en inglés o castellano. Saludos, --Alonso 17:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hola. He notado que tus contribuciones sólo se han limitado a tratar de corregir el enunciado sobre el estándar de vida de México. Ciertamente son importantes las opiniones y correcciones que se puedan hacer, aún viniendo de usuarios no regitrados. Pero me gustaría invitarte a involucrate más activamente en la wikipedia en la elaboración de artículos. ¿Hay algun tema que te interese o te agrade, o alguna área que hayas estudiado y en la que te gustaría participar? --Alonso 23:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

The article Argentina, to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup.

If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page.
You have been left this message by PocKleanBot, an automated process that notifies editors that articles to which they may have contributed on more than one occasion in the past now need cleanup. If you have any comments or object to this message being left, please leave a message on PocKleanBot's talk page.

Latin America

I really don't appreciate you deleting all that I had written in the Economics section, especially that none of that was neither false nor controversial, and you didn't discuss it either. The information you added is relevant and good, yet it was taken almost verbatim of a single source, while the one before was sustained by three sources. I don't see why one had to replace the other if all the information, the new and the old, could be left in the article. Do you have any particular reason to delete some of the information that was being reported? I reverted the deletion. --Alonso 15:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Editing an article is not vandalism. The same claim can be made of your recent deletion of economic information by J.Alonso. However nobody accused you of "vandalism", right? I will not let you edit information to demerit Mexico as you have proven to do. Just take a loot at your contribution page. You are surely an anti-Mexican. Revert as many times you want, I will do the same. AlexCovarrubias ^{( Let's talk! )} 01:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I replied this to Alex Covarrubias on his talk page as a second vandalism warning:

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Latin America, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Diegou 02:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC) (please stop)

You just wrote in my talk page the following: "Editing an article is not vandalism. The same claim can be made of your recent deletion of economic information by J.Alonso.

First of all, I am glad that you do not think anymore that Alonso and I are the same person. I recall that you said in the talk page of the Mexico article the following: "I have strong evidence showing J.Alonso and Diegou are the same person (WP:Sockpuppet) so I'm reporting this". You never reported it, so apparently your evidence was not very strong, and never apologized with Alonso and me.

Second, you are not editing but DELETING. More specifically, you are deleting: (i) the GDP growth table and (ii) the HDI indices. You cannot delete sourced information unless you have sources that demostrate that the source I provided is wrong.

Third, I already explained Alonso that I did not intend to delete anything but only to reorganize. In any case, Alonso already put back the information he thought was missing, and I am OK with that.

Fourth, I am not trying to demerit Mexico (or any other country). Please explain in what Mexico is demerited by (i) adding a GDP growth table, (ii) adding the HDI index and (iii) rearranging a table in alphabetical order.

I kindly invite you to participate in the talk page.--Diegou 02:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)--Diegou 02:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who said I don't think you're the same person? Specially now that you - misteriously and conviniently - reverted the article Latin America with the account of J. Alonso. What a coincidence, huh? To avoid the 3RR... Wow... how interesting. AlexCovarrubias

For the record, Alex has filed a sockpuppetry case against me. Not surprisingly, Alex has again made a fool of himself. You can follow the case and know of Alex's new embarrassment in http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/J.Alonso

--Diegou 13:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the sockpuppetry case has been finally dismissed: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/J.Alonso --Diegou 17:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
