Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:55, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 350 articles in just six days. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Greetings WikiProject Venezuela/Archive 4 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Is there any reason why the template for this project has its MAINCAT categorising articles into ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Venezuela articles rather than ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:WikiProject Venezuela articles in line with other WikiProjects? It has some minor side-effects in terms of breaking some templates and bots, it would be sensible to bring it in line with Argentina, Brazil etc? Le Deluge ( talk) 20:20, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Venezuela/Archive 4/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Venezuela.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Venezuela, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Since at least 2006/2007 the standard for municipalities of Venezuela was to include the type name, the same way as is done for U.S. counties. Also geodis was done by state name not with "Venezuela". Most entities are fine cf category:municipalities of Venezuela but in this category most are false. An article about any "Washington County" is not at a page "Washington" plus some geodis, e.g. it is " King County, Washington" not King, United States.
User:AlexTheWhovian, User:Anthony Appleyard can you revert the undiscussed moves and restore "X Municipality" or if ambiguous "X Municipality, Miranda" for those in Category:Municipalities of Miranda (state)? 85.180.161.75 ( talk) 07:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I invite you to edit and expand this article United States involvement in regime change in Latin America that would certainly benefit from more editors. Greetings. -- Dereck Camacho ( talk) 05:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 08:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Proposed change to election/referendum naming format.

Articles like Crisis in Venezuela indicate an inflation of about one million percent/year for Venezuela in 2018 (source Asamblea Nacional). This recent article Venezuela's Hyperinflation Hits 80,000% Per Year in 2018 from Forbes contends 80,000% percent and arguments against the IMF estimation of 1,000,000%. I do not know how notable and reliable is this calculation but if it is that important it should appear in the articles. Maybe we could write something like 'different calculations give an inflation of 1,300,000% and 80,000% for 2018', with the respective sources.-- MaoGo ( talk) 23:09, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Does anyone still follow this project? The Nicolás Maduro article is utterly dismal, and it is not surprising that readers are thinking it is POV, since the lead does not make its case at all, and if anything, is leaving readers confused. I imagine few people care to work on that article, but the lead does not even remotely explain why his presidency is considered fraudulent, it is verbose and overcited, does not flow, does not lay out the most critical aspects of how he came to be considered illegitimate, is trying to cover too much rather than Keep It Simple, and ... here is why all of that matters: [4]. During the border clashes, that is the article that was being read. People are trying to read that article in droves, and readers are probably coming away with the wrong idea about why this presidency is considered illegitimate by half the world. I suggest that efforts really need to be focused on fixing this article-- or at least its lead. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 06:56, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

@ MaoGo, Jamez42, Cambalachero, Cyfraw, Kingsif, Oscar ., Alcibiades979, and ZiaLater: What is going on here?
In other words, Gran Polo Patriotico, which was decidedly a thing for Chavismo, is no longer a thing anywhere on Wikipedia. Instead of creating a new article for Maduro's new Union that has a new name, this editor completely removed the Union used by Chavez.
Why? What this means is that trying to find any old information on Chavez's Gran Patriotic Pole just won't happen-- it's gone from Wikipedia. The fact that Chavismo had a Union called Great Patriotic Pole went ... poof !
And undoing all of this will take a lot of work. What's up with this?
And I can't even get a link or ping to this editor's username to work. How can an editor make a non-linkable username? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 04:47, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
So, the incorrect move cannot be undone; what next? I don't know where to get this fixed. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 14:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
All corrected now; we may need to keep an eye out towards helping the Editor With The Name To Long To Type set up the new coalition correctly. I am not sure there are sources for that; have not looked. Telesur provides the English name, but what is the name in Spanish, and have RELIABLE sources mentioned it?

The substantial reference to Goethe in the en.wikipedia.org article on the "Flag of Venezuela" seems totally unsubstantiated. A single footnote after the Goethe quote references an unrelated pamphlet on Colombian naval history. I have checked multiple biographies of the flag's designer, General Francisco de Miranda, and none of these biographies (by William Spence Robertson, Karen Racine, Philip John Sherian, and Sumner Welles) mention that Miranda ever met Goethe. German-language resources, including Goethe's collected writings, his Farbenlehre, and the Geothe Institut's office in Caracas, also make no mention of Goethe having ever met Miranda. Significantly, neither the Spanish nor the German versions of this wikipedia article on Venezuela's flag mention Goethe. This seems to be a spurious meme in English-language social media. Goethe's involvement with the creation of the Venezuelan flag makes an entertaining story, but seems to be no more than an urban legend.

Crisis in Venezuela has no section on political detentions. Washington Post has a piece today (which I cannot link to because of damn paywall). Is anyone interested in setting up a section at the Crisis article? I can access that article later at my library, but not now ... title is "Political detentions rising in Venezuela".

Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Venezuela/Archive 4/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Venezuela.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Venezuela, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Since at least 2006/2007 the standard for municipalities of Venezuela was to include the type name, the same way as is done for U.S. counties. Also geodis was done by state name not with "Venezuela". Most entities are fine cf category:municipalities of Venezuela but in this category most are false. An article about any "Washington County" is not at a page "Washington" plus some geodis, e.g. it is " King County, Washington" not King, United States.
User:AlexTheWhovian, User:Anthony Appleyard can you revert the undiscussed moves and restore "X Municipality" or if ambiguous "X Municipality, Miranda" for those in Category:Municipalities of Miranda (state)? 85.180.161.75 ( talk) 07:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I invite you to edit and expand this article United States involvement in regime change in Latin America that would certainly benefit from more editors. Greetings. -- Dereck Camacho ( talk) 05:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 08:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Proposed change to election/referendum naming format.

There is a request for comment on the reliability of Telesur at the reliable sources noticeboard. If you are interested, please participate at WP:RSN § RfC: Telesur. — Newslinger talk 02:48, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
Articles like Crisis in Venezuela indicate an inflation of about one million percent/year for Venezuela in 2018 (source Asamblea Nacional). This recent article Venezuela's Hyperinflation Hits 80,000% Per Year in 2018 from Forbes contends 80,000% percent and arguments against the IMF estimation of 1,000,000%. I do not know how notable and reliable is this calculation but if it is that important it should appear in the articles. Maybe we could write something like 'different calculations give an inflation of 1,300,000% and 80,000% for 2018', with the respective sources.-- MaoGo ( talk) 23:09, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Does anyone still follow this project? The Nicolás Maduro article is utterly dismal, and it is not surprising that readers are thinking it is POV, since the lead does not make its case at all, and if anything, is leaving readers confused. I imagine few people care to work on that article, but the lead does not even remotely explain why his presidency is considered fraudulent, it is verbose and overcited, does not flow, does not lay out the most critical aspects of how he came to be considered illegitimate, is trying to cover too much rather than Keep It Simple, and ... here is why all of that matters: [4]. During the border clashes, that is the article that was being read. People are trying to read that article in droves, and readers are probably coming away with the wrong idea about why this presidency is considered illegitimate by half the world. I suggest that efforts really need to be focused on fixing this article-- or at least its lead. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 06:56, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

@ MaoGo, Jamez42, Cambalachero, Cyfraw, Kingsif, Oscar ., Alcibiades979, and ZiaLater: What is going on here?
In other words, Gran Polo Patriotico, which was decidedly a thing for Chavismo, is no longer a thing anywhere on Wikipedia. Instead of creating a new article for Maduro's new Union that has a new name, this editor completely removed the Union used by Chavez.
Why? What this means is that trying to find any old information on Chavez's Gran Patriotic Pole just won't happen-- it's gone from Wikipedia. The fact that Chavismo had a Union called Great Patriotic Pole went ... poof !
And undoing all of this will take a lot of work. What's up with this?
And I can't even get a link or ping to this editor's username to work. How can an editor make a non-linkable username? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 04:47, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
So, the incorrect move cannot be undone; what next? I don't know where to get this fixed. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 14:39, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
All corrected now; we may need to keep an eye out towards helping the Editor With The Name To Long To Type set up the new coalition correctly. I am not sure there are sources for that; have not looked. Telesur provides the English name, but what is the name in Spanish, and have RELIABLE sources mentioned it?

The substantial reference to Goethe in the en.wikipedia.org article on the "Flag of Venezuela" seems totally unsubstantiated. A single footnote after the Goethe quote references an unrelated pamphlet on Colombian naval history. I have checked multiple biographies of the flag's designer, General Francisco de Miranda, and none of these biographies (by William Spence Robertson, Karen Racine, Philip John Sherian, and Sumner Welles) mention that Miranda ever met Goethe. German-language resources, including Goethe's collected writings, his Farbenlehre, and the Geothe Institut's office in Caracas, also make no mention of Goethe having ever met Miranda. Significantly, neither the Spanish nor the German versions of this wikipedia article on Venezuela's flag mention Goethe. This seems to be a spurious meme in English-language social media. Goethe's involvement with the creation of the Venezuelan flag makes an entertaining story, but seems to be no more than an urban legend.

Crisis in Venezuela has no section on political detentions. Washington Post has a piece today (which I cannot link to because of damn paywall). Is anyone interested in setting up a section at the Crisis article? I can access that article later at my library, but not now ... title is "Political detentions rising in Venezuela".

@ MaoGo: lots of material here from Public Radio International. (Every time one of these comes up, I get to remind of the folly of merging away the Guaido challenge :) :) But it was not worth the disagreement at that time, so away it went. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 20:41, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Speaking of which, a discussion could be started to create a list of sources that could be used for Venezuelan articles depending on their reliability. -- Jamez42 ( talk) 19:02, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
