    Why do you keep posting this link? It’s not convincing anybody of the validity of an Argentine claim, it’s presumptuous of you to assume people haven’t read it, and it doesn’t back up a number statements you’ve made (“The UN asked Great Britain to give the island back to Argentina, but they refused.” for instance).

      Why do you keep posting this link?

      Because most people are just saying stuff that is not true, which the link corrects.

      It’s not convincing anybody of the validity of an Argentine claim

      If you read their comments that I reply to with that link, the facts documented contradicts what they are saying, and hence, may convince people of the validity of the claim.

      it’s presumptuous of you to assume people haven’t read it

      Not if I see people getting facts wrong its not.

        But you’re often just commenting the link, which puts the onus on the person you’re replying to to read the entire Wikipedia page in order to decipher what you’re contesting. Kind of like assigning homework. Again, presumptuous.

        If you read their comments that I reply to with that link, the facts documented contradicts what they are saying, and hence, may convince people of the validity of the claim.

        Unlikely. People won’t put in the work to decipher you, so it’s a poor methodology for convincing anyone.

        Not if I see people getting facts wrong its not.

        You’ve also got facts wrong, as mentioned above.
