Also Cumbia is not the defacto dance of Colombia. Vallenato, which comes from Valledupar is a music which is purely Colombian in its composition, and would be a more proper genre to label as the national dance.CUMBIA ROCKS!!

Factual accuracy

I feel there is just so much that need to be modified in this article. First off some definitions are incorrect or lack an encyclopedic perspective. Please try to use objective and encyclopedic terminology.

  • In modern colombian society, many women in urbal and rural areas seek and achieve professional careers and independence. And women in poor areas (urban or rural) not only raise children, but also work in many differente activities to bring additional money home, or to support the whole family by themselves.
  • It's impossible to generalize the way that Colombians communicate. There are stark differences in the customs and "rules" that people from each region apply to everyday communications and relationships with other people. 'Rolos' (born in Bogotá) are perceived and actually behave very different to 'Paisas' (from Antioquia), or to 'Costeños' (from the Caribbean coast).
  • The "Bandeja Paisa" is a national favorite, and not a Medellin favorite only, as stated.
  • Not all people in Colombia learn to dance salsa when they learn to walk. As a matter of fact, a considerable percentage of the population doesn't actually know how to properly dance salsa.
  • Baseball is very popular in the coastal regions of Colombia. Many baseball academies exist in Barranquilla and other cities. An example of this popularity is the rise of players like Edgar Rentería.
  • While soccer is considered the national in Colombia, other sports such as basketball have also experienced moderate success in the country.
  • There is not mention whatsoever to Formula 1 and to the radical increase of the number of Formula 1 fans in Colombia due to Juan Pablo Montoya's participation in the championship.
  • Overall, the article is not very neutral or clear.
  • About the Arts section: I read One Hundred years of Solitude some years ago, and do not remember everything. But I think that the Buendia family was not "poor" and that Macondo (the village the novel is setted in) was not on the Coast (as stated in article). User:Gala.martin

I think the most important thing is for an actual colombian living in Colombia to contribute to the article (I'll try get to it later :-). --Cbohorquezm 06:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I have also seen that most of the Colombian food is popular but not as specifically described. I also notice that there is far more foods than the article contains in Colombia because I have personally tried them and have lived there for most of my life anyway. I'll try to contribute and perhaps "improve" the accuracy and completeness of the article later.

Fair use rationale for Image:600 15ggm pintura.jpg

I hate to say this, but:

It seems like everyone who contributes anything related to Colombian culture in any Wikipedia article is still learning English; there's spelling mistakes and awkward syntax and left-out punctuation galore in some sections. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to regurgitate every single irrelevant tidbit about Colombian culture. Those who chBUTTHOLE oose to add their two cents should utilize third-person objective POV and write to conform to the standards of an encyclopedia article. Please? --Aznsisco (talk) 04:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Part of the article disappeared

Possibly some sections were intended to be removed, but the overall structure of the article has been adjusted to this. A former lead section was removed.

Contradiction?

In the section Food, information in the first bullet begins by saying "In the city of Medellín the typical dish is..." but then the second sentence begins "Most people in Medellín don't eat it..." How can it be considered "The typical dish" if "most people don't eat it"? Someone who knows the answer, please edit. Ed8r (talk) 21:25, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
