Population contradiction

Numbers and ranking of cities disagrees with List of cities and largest towns in Bolivia but both claim to be from 2012 census. 伟思礼 (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

can Bolivia now be classified as Dominant-party or not?

the MAS-IPSP party of Bolivia has been the ruling party of Bolivia ever since the mid 2000's, and it has a large control over the politics sector of the country. is this enough to be considered dominant-party or not? if so, then i will add that to the infobox of the country. JEVILOGEN (talk) 21:25, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Not sufficient in this format, which would be WP:SYNTH. The question would be whether sufficient reliable sources according to their due weight describe it as such. JArthur1984 (talk) 23:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I'd note that even if the country could have been reasonably regarded as a dominant party state, it may no longer fall into that category. I've seen a couple of sources describing the MAS as "no longer" hegemonic, even if its remains the most powerful party (Examples: 1, 2, 3). The party currently seem to be heading towards a split by the next election. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 03:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Article contains links to "Pressenza", Russian disinfo "laundromat" fake source.

Pressenza is a Kremlin propaganda operation run by several companies under the direction of the Russian government, known to publish extensive disinformation and fake news for the Russian state. The same link to the same article has been inserted into numerous Wikipedia articles with malicious intent or to lend credence/citation to Pressenza. It should be removed from the article. Encelix (talk) 23:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

"According to the U.S. State Department, Pressenza is part of a project, run by three Russian companies, that planned to create articles in Moscow and then translate them for these “native” sites, following Chinese practice, to make them seem “local.”

Ongoing coup

I'll leave those more knowledgeable to correct errors but I just want to remind everyone not to jump the shark in making edits too quickly - someone has already changed the president to the coup leader despite the fact Lucho still seems to be in power (the situation is changing of course so I may be wrong on that). 2.30.72.156 (talk) 21:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
