| The article lacks a proper intro and sounds more of a POV of barranquilla refering to the city. It has two intros, which I don't see necessary! and has more information that the rest of the article. It's very disorganized and doesn't have any sources.-- ] 15:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC) | The article lacks a proper intro and sounds more of a POV of barranquilla refering to the city.

who claims that the so called "carnaval de Barranquilla" is just second to Rio? There are thousands of carnival festivities in the world. I dont know a ranking containing all of them. Where are the sources of this? They dont mention anything about the increasing poverty levels (70% of the population) and that the "golden gate" of Colombia is just a name because the main colombian harbor is in Buenaventura and the second one in Cartagena de Indias. They dont mention anything about the real documentated history of the city and how after being a model during the 1950´s became slowly in a just a big city without any organization.
- Please sign your comments, otherwise discussion doesn't work very well. No doubt the remarks you note were inserted by a local resident - it is common for locality pages to attract a bit of boosterism of this sort. If you think they are inflated (I don't know enough about Colombia to say, myself), I suggest that you edit the page to say something like "Local residents believe that the carnaval de Barrnquilla is second only to that in Rio, but the evidence for this is unclear". And similarly for the other points you make - i.e. don't obliterate the previous editor's view, but put in something to balance it. seglea 4 July 2005 17:25 (UTC)
- Barranquilla's carnival is second to the brazilian carnival by determination of the UNESCO. It was declared: masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity. It's also considered part of Colombia's National Heritage.
