[edit] Border Dispute

  • The whole recent border dispute between Peru and Chile is regarding the limits of this new Region. Before that, the only other mayor dispute between both countries involved their territorial waters. Since the legislation creating this new Region was declared unconstitutional, ignoring this as part of the history of the region is not wise at all.
  • This whole paragraph doesn't belong to the War of the Pacific at all. It might be included in the Treat of Ancon and the Treaty of Lima (both regarding the frontier between Peru and Chile).
  • Under what type of arguments are you removing this information?

Please avoid erasing. Messhermit 17:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I have also removed sympathetic claims towards the Peruvian side for the sake of neutrality. Hopefully, this will end the dispute. Messhermit 17:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up of typos, grammar, and some suggested reference

Hi, Could the author/maintainer of this page clean up a little:

  • there are some typos (for example "aproved" vs. "approved")
  • some of the grammar could be improved for readability (for example: change "A possible border dispute was averted when the Chilean Constitutional Court ruled on January 26th, 2007 formally unconstitutional legislation, that Peru said could be seen as a move by Chile to encroach on its maritime territorial sovereignty." into "Peru has maintained that this could be seen as a move by Chile to encroach on its maritime territorial sovereignty. A possible border dispute was averted on January 26, 2007, when the Chilean Constitutional Court formally ruled this legislation unconstitutional."
  • add a reference to "The Chilean deputies and senators that aproved the law said they didn't notice this error" as this not something from the Xinhua reference.

I haven't make these changes myself since I'm just an "incidental" visitor to the page :). Thanks! Ramonk 11:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move the article to Arica y Parinacota Region

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 12:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


isnt the real name of this new region Arica y Parinacota? The naming of all regions in Chile should follow the same logic. If using Arica-Parinacota, Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region should be Magallanes and Antartica Chilena Region or Magallanes-Antártica Chilena Region.

The origin of the "Arica-Parinacota" name is the proposed name for the region while it was in discussion in the Senate. But the approved law says "Región de Arica y Parinacota" without the hyphen... and that's the official name. But the hyphenated version is still used widely. --B1mbo 02:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Move denied. No consensus and evidence that current name is also used in Spanish [2]. Physchim62 (talk) 21:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I suppose this was an attempt to close; moving the comment here from RM. Dekimasuよ! 12:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
