Talk:Sucre

Proposed move

From Sucre, Bolivia to Sucre...

Rationale: Sucre currently redirects to Sucre (disambiguation). Seeing what's listed there, this is a case of primary topic disambiguation: the constitutional capital of Bolivia should get top billing over the department, the state, the currency, and the general. –Hajor 21:34, 27 April 2005 (UTC)

Constitutional Capital?

Browsing Bolivia's constitution (in Spanish, as there appears to be no English version on the Internet), I noticed that there is no officially designated ("constitutional") capital. Sucre is mentioned to be the seat of the judiciary, but is not mentioned as a designated capital, per se. In addition, the constitution does mention La Paz once as the location of the "Government." In either case, there appears to be no officially designated capital, so I wonder why Sucre is labeled as such. --Mike Beidler 14:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Because we the Sucre people like to give our city a "big" name, hehe, seriously actually it's the "legal" capital of Bolivia since there's a law that recognizes it, the constituion doesn't Js0 1985 — Preceding undated comment added 22:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Style of the writing

This article reads rather like a travel brochure, so I just tagged it with {{advert}}. Could someone familiar with the material try rewriting it in a more encyclopedic tone? Things like "reflecting the Andalusian culture that is embodied in the architecture" may indeed have come from a source like www.rutaverdebolivia.com/sucre-potosi-tours.php, and convey an idyllic view of the city. It may be a nice place, but this is not the right tone. Walkerma 03:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

That is complete and utter nonsense. The text on the www.rutaverdebolivia.com is taken from this Wikipedia entry, not the other way around. I know since I've been editing this entry since March 2005. If you had bothered to check the history, you could have verified that for yourself. If you could please indicate what is unencyclopedic about this entry, then maybe your suggestion would be useful, but you haven't. Ortcutt 20:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Map info

Someone needs to put a map on the page so people can see where it and its capital are located. thanx,supdog em — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.93.220 (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

illustrations

The article raves about the great architecture but brings no photos except of native costumes.--dunnhaupt (talk) 00:06, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Mistakes

"The National Library has documents that date from 90th century." - "90th" really? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppalacz (talk • contribs) 07:26, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
