San Lorenzo Port??? NOT!!

The Maritime Transport section of the article states that "There have been plans to build a new megaport on the island of San Lorenzo known as the San Lorenzo Megaport Project. This port is planned to become the largest of Latin America."

This is just a blatant lie.

There's no official project to build a port in San Lorenzo Island. The current official project in San Lorenzo is about housing, NOT ports (http://www.proinversion.gob.pe/0/0/modulos/JER/PlantillaFichaHijo.aspx?ARE=0&PFL=0&JER=4096). As a matter of fact, the so called San Lorenzo port project has no backing technical studies whatsoever and has never been picked by the Peruvian government, due to the fact that it's not economically feasable at all. It has never been considered. The only port project currently taking place in Callao is the Dubai Ports World "Muelle Sur" project, which is under development. According to the National Ports System Act (Ley 27943), for a public port project to be developed, it has to be included in the National Ports Development Plan, which is not the case with San Lorenzo. For more info (in Spanish) check out the National Ports Authority of Peru's website www.apn.gob.pe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermellowman (talk • contribs) 15:37, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The coordinates need the following fixes:

• Write here

longide coordinate value for Lima (PE) city is incorrect, please check. Real is around 77ª. BR

And 77 deg is what is already given in the infobox. If something else is given somewhere else in the article, I can't find it. Coords appear to be correct, unless I'm missing something. Regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 22:26, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Lima är en fin stad men det luktar inte gott :S —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.200.163.36 (talk) 10:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

First section is illogical

The first section has some statements that I believe are opinions and difficult to justify objectively. "... one of the most important cities in the world leveled with Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Sydney and Dubai." Based on what measurement?

The following statement makes no sense: "Lima's Commerce and economy are classified as the biggest percentage in South America." Percentage of what? Finally, this statement is logically inconsistent: "Along with Santiago, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Caracas, Lima is the second most important city in South America after São Paulo."

It's been improved. Nice job. Marzolian (talk) 22:03, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

It still needs improvement. It states that as a "major beta world city" it is on the same level as New York, London, Paris which are obviously ranked as "alpha cities". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.230.53.116 (talk) 12:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Events section needs to be trimmed

I'm seeing that the events section is becoming a laundry list of high profile acts who have played in Lima. Is this really necessary? Couldn't we just put "many high-profile acts have played concerts in Lima," and just leave it at that? I would like to think we could put in an example of a high profile act, but there's no way to determine who should make the cut, vs who doesn't, and then people would just do all over again what's already been done: make this a laundry list. Another thing is that this section strongly favors American and English recording acts, when Lima is obviously going to have major Spanish speaking/South American concerts and such that don't seem to be recorded. Anyone have any thoughts on this before we make some changes? Hires an editor (talk) 13:50, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
