I happened on this and got confused by all of the redirects and such. I'm going to recommend that the following moves be made to eliminate a lot of unnecessary redirects.

The accurate translation of "novia del pacífico" to english would be "ocean's bride" not "sweethart". Besides that, some mention should be made to the recent butane pipe accident that occurred this year and damaged the city's most traditional area. 200.89.48.49 20:53, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I think something should be done about the race logo at the bottom of the page, it is mis-formatted and covers the "see also" section of the page.
I think that the annual climate variation data are meant to be in degrees farenheit, but have incorrectly been listed as degrees celsius. Otherwise, temperatures in Valparaíso would exceed 111 degrees celsius in the summer - a temperature that would surely kill the entire population and boil any standing water. This can't be right... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.75.213 ( talk) 17:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I quickly read the article from here and there, and I noticed that there is no mention, or at least I did not notice, about railways. I had understood that railways have been of great importance to the city, its development, growth and econonomy I presume during the 19th and 20th century. There was or still is a railway extending from Buenos Aires, Argentina to this very city - Valparaiso was or is the other end of the railway on the Pacific Ocean. This is the Transandine railway. I suppose, that it became economically profitable, less expensive, to use railways than transportion via the Magellan Strait by ships at some point. Maybe trains were really the preferred mode of transportation, because ships were small in the late 1800s and in the beginning of 1900s, also the distance was shorter by train. I wish someone could incorporate the railway aspect to the history and economy sections of the article, because Valparaiso is not just a major port, but a major terminal or start point of a major railway (or at least was in history). -- 91.157.12.243 ( talk) 06:39, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
How is the air quality? How polluting is the transit? In the winter, do people directly burn coal or wood in stoves? How are the homes heated? How is power generated? Are there any green energy sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocdcntx ( talk • contribs) 22:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
A new article was created, Barrio Puerto, and I am trying to find some information in English about it. Is anyone familiar with this area? Is this the same as Seaport City? Or, a part of it?
Thanks!– CaroleHenson ( talk) 01:24, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
