Edit request on 10 February 2013 Ubicacion de LIMA en el Mapa

La Ubicacion de Lima , capital del Perú , en el mapa esta erronea , sale cerca de YURIMAGUAS y no en el lugar que le corresponde. 85.49.251.211 (talk) 22:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Language - edit request

The text currently reads: "Lima's Spanish is characterized by the lack of strong innotations..." Does someone know what "innotations" is a typo for? This should be fixed. Jd2718 (talk) 17:20, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use/non-copyrighted or otherwise questionable ownership collage

I think I've been persuaded that a collage of images of Lima is a good thing, but over the last few years collages have been removed for violation of copyright or unsure ownership - if we put another one, can whoever it is that is making them follow the proper procedure to make sure they are properly showed as owned/fair use images or whatever is required to make sure it doesn't get deleted again?

Additional Info for Lima Article

Hello everyone, I am a Peruvian born and raised in Lima, currently studying in the US. I want to improve the Lima article in English with a focus in the points below. In general, I believe we could add more specificity and precision to certain key aspects to understanding the city. Please let me know what you think:

1. More specific demographics – There is not a detailed account of the distribution of ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds in the city and more specifically in different areas of the city. This sentence is very general and imprecise: “There are also numerous Jews of European descent and Middle Easterners”. We should instead include the % of them from the entire Lima population. In addition the total population of the city has not been updated since 2007 and there is not a breakdown of population per district, which is key to understand the relative size of the city and the differences between the districts.

2. Recent history – Although there is a History section in the article, I find that the history is focused mostly up to the 1970's, with little information about recent history. The only information about the twentieth century is regarding immigration from Europe and less about the key historical events like terrorism in the 1980’s and the recent wave of immigration from the inner regions of the country in the last 30 years.

3. Political system – This section is also weak in that it does not include any specifics about how the city hall governs over the city and the relationship between the elected mayor of the city and the mayors of the specific districts. It also does not include the key events or developments in the city by past mayors, or even the recount of the mayors in the past 30 years.

4. Urban challenges – In reading the article, it would seem that Lima has very little social problems or challenges, when this is not the case. Therefore I would include more about security and crime challenges, access to basic services by district (like water and electricity), and results in level of education, at least. This information can be backed up by data to add precision in the overall picture of the city. Finally, there could be more information about the environment in the city. Here, there could me a mention about environmental concerns, for example with respect to air, water, and percentage of green space.

5. Food & Culture - Talk about the blend of cultures in the city and how this has been represented in food and other cultural representations.

6. Education – In this section there is only a mention of higher education institutions, and nothing about K-12 education. There is no mention about how the K-12 education system is organized in Lima (who is responsible for what) or any result in this arena. There could be a portrayal of the types of schools present in the city and in what proportion (private, public, charter, etc.).

7. Sports - I would also increase more detail in this section with regards specifically to soccer and volleyball (which are mentioned briefly).

Current collage has fraudulent image?

In the collage, there is an image of San Isidro with three modern skyscrapers: the Westin hotel is on the far left and the Banco GNB is in the middle. Then on the right there is another skyscraper, the tallest of the three. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this building simply does not exist. I don't know if this was photoshopped or what but it should not be allowed on the page. Dawei20 (talk) 19:05, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There have been repeated issues with the image collage, usually for copyright violations. If this image is in the commons, I suggest you request that it be deleted for the reasons you state above. Otherwise, you can do it at the page's source here...Hires an editor (talk) 00:42, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
the image is nice!. AlfaRocket (talk) 12:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The demographics are incorrect.

I am from Lima. So I know the majority of people in Lima are indigenous with little foreign blood, and then there are mestizos who you can see they have some mixture, but I have rarely seen a white or black person unless it's on TV. Can't we choose a more truthful source? The picture chosen to represent us is wrong. Why was the girl who looks like a minority chosen instead of someone with our Inca roots? That is very European centric and partial. Frandalila (talk) 13:57, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And the picture of the school children also does not represent us. I don't even think that is from here.

Itchyma

Citation requested for assertion in "etymology" that early Spanish articles (should this read chronicles?) called the area "Itchyma". No independent sources found to confirm this statement. Can anyone provide details to substantiate this statement? BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:16, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tourism or Religion?

It is rather typical of the biased Western approach - and anglo-saxon in particular - that all the religious buildings are presented under the section 'Tourism', that is : places to be visited. Please do remember and keep in mind that those churches, convents and monasteries are first of all places of worship and of other religious activities of the Christians of Lima and Peru. In this long article there is not even a section 'Religion' but under the section 'Tourism', the large majority of touristic places are in fact religious buildings. This bias is plaguing quite a few similar articles.--Zerged (talk) 04:36, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This Westerner agrees with you that the absence of a religion section is surprising. You could begin to create one yourself. HiLo48 (talk) 04:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
