[edit] 1,000 vs 1.000
I'm no Wiki expert, but I noticed that many of the large numbers use commas to separate every three digits, while some use commas. Should there be just one kind or the other, or is it okay like this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.149.45.44 (talk) 02:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
- In English wikipedia only commas like in 1,000 should be used. Mountolive | Talk 02:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prove It
Just because 8 - 10% of Spain's population are immigrants does not mean that 8% of Spain is non-European. 50% of migrants entering Spain come from Europe! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galati (talk • contribs) 19:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] About Education
It seems to me that either the writer of the Education section is a Spaniard or spanish-speaking person, or at least that it has been translated from a Spanish text: is it that most schools in Spain are public meaning "públicas", that is, state-owned? And, since when are most non state owned schools catholic schools? If it's a true fact, it ought to be quoted.
Then there is that awful second paragraph nobody appart from the author is able to understand, given the unaccurate information he gives (What happens following graduation in Spain? You choose whether to go to High School ("Instituto"), that can be seen as a preparatory course to college, or "Formación Profesional", that grants you a non-universitary undergraduate tittle (which I believe it's "...a school of professional study in all fields — law, sciences, humanities, and medicine — and the superior technical schools offer programs in engineering and architecture..." What does this all mean? Superior Technichal Schools, if translated as "Escuelas Técnicas Superiores" are part of the Spanish Universities, and you can't access them unless you have been to High School first, or have completed your "formación profesional" and then took an official exam).
The section needs some refurbishment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.85.197.38 (talk) 18:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
