Pictures[edit]

The article in general could be much better, but the pictures which illustrate it are pathetic to say the least.

The only president of the country who deserves a picture in Wikipedia article is ... Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, a fugitive currently in the US.

The picture for Aymara people is an old black and white picture ... as if Aymaras were a thing of the past.

Current president Evo Morales, the longest serving president of the country, and an Aymaran himself, does not deserve a picture in the article according to the Wikipedia illuminati editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.5.55 (talk) 10:41, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

´STUPID ¨"ENGLISH" NAME[edit]

Bolivia name - "PLURINATIONAL" monstrosity The translation of country`s official name as "PLURINATIONAL" is Spanglish or phony English or atrocious English but is not proper English.. Firstly, unlike in Spanish, there is no common English "pluri-" prefix. Thus "pluri-" is a foreign word. Secondly, there should be a hyphen. Thirdly, "nación" here clearly means "ethnos." not "state". The ¨naciones¨clearly implied Aymaras, Guaranís, etc. Ergo "Multi-Ethnic" Even if that is the countrys official name in English at the UN, that just means that Bolivia has lousy translators. "Multi-Ethnic" should be included at least to explain what the term "plurinacional" really MEANS. Mumbo-jumbophobe (talk) 20:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Read WP:OR. The "stupid English" name has citations against it referencing reliable sources. We don't go by individual editors opinions. DeCausa (talk) 21:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
The 1994 Constitution declared Bolivia a multicultural society, whereas the 2009 constitution that created the "Plurinational State" explicitly refers to "the native indigenous nations and

peoples." The drafters knew what they were doing and this was an intentional word choice that corresponds to the word nation in English.--Carwil (talk) 14:19, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
