If you look at the edit history, you'll notice that this week, someone has become determined to add the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic to the list of countries where Spanish is an official language and remove it from the list of disputed territories where it's spoken. In the process they've repeatedly destroyed the language infobox. I just reverted the change again, but can it be agreed upon that calling a minor portion of the Western Sahara governed in exile an "official Spanish-speaking country" is a little heavy handed?

When it comes to places where it is spoken and number of speakers, the Spanish wikipedia is littered with bias, the "spanish nationalits" who edit it, try to claim as much land as they can, from the Arctic, to Brazil, from the fudged numbers of native speakers (the Cervantes institute is know for inflating numbers of spanish speakers) to the fact that Spanish is the only language (other than english) in which they include the numbers of students, as if every one of them were to actually learn the language, seriously why not do the same for French ?(since it's, globally, the second most studied language after English, or maybe include German etc... ?) when you take into account that less than 2% ,of the people who study a foreign language in the US, actually learn it enough for a conversation, you see how ridiculous/biased including it is, this whole thing is a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.46.137.206 (talk) 18:04, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
