Your USHUAIA article says that "Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world", whereas your PORT STANLEY article gives that honor to Wellington, in New Zealand...
In the Spanish wikipedia ( http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Argentino) they are giving preference to the name of "Puerto Argentino" over the name Port Stanley. The lithuanian version ( http://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenlis) gives the two names fairly equal weighting. The remainder of the articles that in languages that use Roman script indicate that Port Stanley is the correct name. Gantlord 15:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Stanley can not both be a capital city and not a capital city at the same time - as per the first two paragraphs. Ian Cairns 00:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi!
Can somebody confirm, that Stanley was once known also as Hipólito Yrigoyen ? (Probably named like this by the Argentine.) Thanks! -- ALE! 21:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
There is no standard definition of town, but I don't think any other place in the Falkland Islands can fit in this category, maybe "villages"... Do you agree? Sebastian Kessel Talk 00:24, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Where I am from (S.W. U.S.) all communities with shops, etc. no matter how small, are towns. I think we should avoid confusion and just say that it is the largest community in the islands. Pelegius 01:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
When did the name lose the “Port”? -- 89.176.54.194 07:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
See [1], official name has always been Stanley, Port Stanley is colloquial but is often used even in official documents. Justin talk 23:16, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia in the Lithuanian version is very peculiar when it comes to topics related to the Falklands. Is there anybody here who can manage Lithuanian? The articles need some changes. -- Andhanq 20:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Is there any evidence that Stanley is actually a city? Merely having a cathedral is not a sufficient qualification - there are many places with cathedrals which are NOT cities. See City status in the United Kingdom (I know that article refers to the mainland UK, but the process is the same) Modest Genius talk 15:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
The article states that the HQ of the British Antarctic Survey is located in Stanley, but the headquarters are actually located in Cambridge, UK 80.0.210.78 ( talk) 21:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Are these from the island or the city. By the name I think are from the islands.

In 2009 a request was submitted to add 1,700,000 km2 to the continental territory of the Argentine Republic, being approved in 2016. Since the United Nations through its Decolonization Committee declares this territory as Non-Autonomous, it is not only an Argentine invention to call "Puerto Argentino" the Capital of the Falkland Islands, just as it is not an Argentine invention to call it that, because they are the terminological variants that were officially presented and approved, and are used by Argentina and other countries Latin Americans on a daily basis. The name of the capital is officially Stanley, but there are two other synonyms used by both the inhabitants and the countries claiming their sovereignty in question: these two synonyms are Puerto Argentino and Puerto Stanley. The latter has just after the merger of Stanley and Puerto Argentino.
I fully understand that my edition is reversed (I reiterate, with the endorsement of the United Nations). Understanding why it has been made publicly known that on this issue, the United Kingdom has always refused to dialogue. I understand this because it has been denied in more than 30 resolutions presented and approved by the United Nations in which the United Kingdom was invited to dialogue on sovereignty, not counting the more than 15 approved by the Organization of American States. I say I understand why they have presented not only the territorial expansions that the Argentine Republic has covered since 2016, but the approved terminologies. I understand that they are unaware of all this as they never deigned to respond to one of the United Nations resolutions. It is clearly seen how a world and military power feels even above the world diplomatic entity.
