- Yes. Wikipedia is not censored. Such dead bodies are part of the tourist trail in Peru. HiLo48 (talk) 08:16, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- wheres the picture of the body
- I like to see what you're talking about 64.8.142.235 (talk) 15:44, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Sign
editThe "File:Suntur Paucar.svg" should be added as flag, even not a flag after a Spanish historian it was used as a sign. 78.54.99.220 (talk) 17:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- It's not a flag though, it should be removed as flag and have a specific section detailing the debate. 2A01:599:A27:B357:74ED:FFE6:290C:DB3C (talk) 10:54, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Change request
editPut a template on the section on gender and age classifications, where Louis Baudin (an early 20tg century scholar) was recently added as a source. Sorry, but this page is already haunted by inaccuracies (the map is only the theory of one scholar, John Rowe, and many scholars have now switched to using the one by Martti Parssinen; the only reason Wikipedia doesn't use the latter is because some user decided to make John Rowe maps in the early to late 2000s and now these are apparently part of wikipedia culture; another exemple: the chronology for Inca rulers (1438-1471 etc.), very controversial, even though many have re-used it, and this chronology was also made by Rowe; another exemple: the "debate" on economy mentioned in the lede doesn't make clear (since wikipedia always uses past tense) that this squabble on labels (socialism etc.) has been no important issue since the latter half of the 20th century, when an academic consensus for reciprocity emerged), and this will only worsen the situation. I will search for a source—there are many—that mentions the fact that Inca “age classes" were not exactly counted by years but were vague categories that one indigenous chronicler (Guaman Poma) decided to refine with exact years (20-50 y. o. etc.) for European readers. I can't edit the page myself (it's protected), so I will search for the source (I don't remember exactly) and put it on this talk page soon, in the hope that an interested editor will make the necessary changes. 80.187.84.4 (talk) 09:14, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Apparently the page already has the more accurate estimate by another scholar, so mentioning Baudin is not necessary. It’s best to just remove him. 80.187.84.4 (talk) 09:20, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
