Editing Intendant (section)

===Argentina===
In [[Argentina]], ''intendente'' (m) or ''intendenta'' (f) refers to [[Mayor|city mayors]] – heads of government of [[Municipalities of Argentina|municipalities]] (or ''[[Partidos of Buenos Aires|partidos]]'' in [[Buenos Aires Province]]).<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://biblioteca.municipios.unq.edu.ar/modules/mislibros/archivos/elestadomunicipalmensaandrea.PDF|title=El Estado municipal en Argentina|trans-title=Municipal State in Argentina|last=Mensa|first=Andrea|date=2007|journal=Provincia|volume=17|language=es|page=43|publisher=[[University of the Andes (Venezuela)|Universidad de Los Andes]]|issn=1317-9535}}</ref> This meaning is not at all connected to the usage in other countries. [[Spanish-language]] media in countries other than Argentina tend to refer to Argentine city mayors as ''[[alcalde]]s'', which is the most common Spanish word for mayor.
In the [[Argentine Army]], "Intendencia" is the Spanish name of the Quartermaster Corps, and its members are informally called "intendentes".
In some organizations, such as clubs, gated communities, large companies, etc., "intendente" is the name given to the person in charge of general maintenance of common spaces.
