The story told in the World & I article, while having the facts right, is obviously a fictionalized one, the names sound unlikely, there's no province named Patagonia, and has poor use of spanish. Majoria 15:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

The NY TIMES just published an article online, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/23/world/americas/23argentina.html?hp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.190.171 (talk) 22:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

This page seems to have several passages lifted directly from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/23/world/americas/23argentina.html?hp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.208.20 (talk) 01:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I noticed this as well. Not only are those passages obvious copyright violations, they are of very dubious accuracy. The claim that paco "is made mostly of solvents and chemicals like kerosene" is ridiculous. Obviously paco is not actually *composed* of solvents such as kerosene -- they are used in the extraction process to produce it from coca leaves and then evaporated. Harmful chemicals may very well appear in paco, but it is not "made of solvents". That New York Times article is full of alarmist, poorly researched claims like this, so it should be taken with a grain of salt as a source of information. Anyway, I removed all the passages which were directly copied over. --- bethenco (talk) 23:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

"Brazil, a country with a historically permissive attitude toward drug use and illicit sex, now ranks as the second largest total consumer of cocaine in the world after the United States, the State Department says." What does sex have to do with it? Audiosqueegee (talk) 21:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
