[edit] Name of the place

This place is not called "Monte Partido". That would mean something like "Broken Mount". The place is called San Miguel del Monte or just Monte, and it is a partido, which is a form of local organisation, somehow similar to a county. If you click on the Spanish link, you'll see the name as Monte (partido), where "partido" is in small letters, and between brackets, just as a form of disambiguation, to differentiate it from "monte" (a mount). --Eduarodi 16:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I know it sounds weird out of context, but that's the naming convention for Partidos of buenos Aires. Perhaps it could be moved to Miguel del Monte Partido, but the 'Broken Mount' part remians. --Mariano(t/c) 20:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
