I do have a comment about a picture in [[en:Buenos Aires]], [[Callerivadavia.jpg]] The way that the gentleman in the foreground is bundled suggests that Buenos Aires is a very cold place, and I know that Wikimania will be taking place in the depths of the Southern Winter. If there is an available picture that gives a warmer impression it might be more in keeping with a positive view of your city. :-)
