I have added the comment about police robbing victims of the Ycua Bolanos fire. This is taken from www.abc.com.py 7/11/2004. ABC Color is a reputable source.
- I deleted the Ycua Bolanos fire incident paragraph. It was totally irrelevant to the article. Bruno18 05:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mother of all cities
Correct me if I'm wrong but Piura, Peru(1532) was the first spanish city in South America and Lima(1535) was founded shortly after and was the most important city in South America during Spansish rule of the countries. Also other South American cities were founded near the time of Asuncion.
- The article never states it was the first city in South America, it says it was one of the earliest. Bruno18 05:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Port?
How can Asunción have Paraguay's principal port when it's not adjacant to any water? Or am I misunderstanding something? /Grillo 16:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, my bad... /Grillo 16:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links to Commercial Websites
I've deleted several links to commercial websites. It seems certain organizations have been adding their links in order to further their own commercial interests. Mariscal8 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Population
Does it really matter to explain where the Paraguayan elite lives or doesn't live? Is the security situation of downtown Asuncion relevant at all to this article? I would suggest deleting or completely re-writing this section. Mariscal8 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External links
I removed most of the external links on the article. Most of them are not important (such as schools, football clubs, shopping centers) and some of them don't really fit the article well (newspapers and internet search engines for example, they don't only apply to the city of Asuncion, but the whole country).
