Not sure where to put this, but it seems to be useful info for a protest article:

The article 2019 Venezuelan protests needs an update. I might do it, if you have any good large-picture sources of 30 April, 1,2,3 May leave them here. -- MaoGo ( talk) 12:37, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
I can't tell if Diosdado just got improved or white-washed. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:22, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Dear Venezuelan(y) users: Take two minutes to breath and clear the mind. Done? (Seriously do it) We are having the longest and messiest discussions in the Venezuelan articles since the beginning of the 2019 crisis. Remember January? when media outlets were focused on Wikipedia because of the struggling edit wars on Guaido's article? That was nothing compared to now. I hope the heat goes out soon and we can write more while solving articles issues in a more calm environment. For the moment, be smart, follow the WP:Guidelines and care for your mental health. Best regards.-- MaoGo ( talk) 16:28, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I have been thinking this for a while: could a cooperation be started to translate articles about Venezuela in Spanish and vice versa? I usually create articles in Spanish rather than in English, and in sight of the activity that there has been I supposed it could be notified each time an article is created; I guess it would be sort of like reactivating the Requested articles tab. It would be interesting doing the same thing viceversa, and we have a new articles tab to keep track of Venezuelan articles. -- Jamez42 ( talk) 18:17, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
I started a "2019" section, which includes the articles that I have started this year, mostly about politics. The majority of them are stubs, so it should be fairly easy to translate, to any who might be interested. -- Jamez42 ( talk) 18:43, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
So the news that are missing now are:
Where do we cover these? I already covered the AN blockade in the censorship article, but it is such an arbitrary event that I do not know if it deserves more coverage. -- MaoGo ( talk) 09:29, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

When I come across news that needs to be incorporated, I email the link to myself. Having had a busy two weeks, I now have 35 reliable sources that need to be added, including the new Amnesty International report, and more. @ MaoGo: let me know what you need from Wall Street Journal, as I have free access to ProQuest and can get it there. I will put info you need at User:SandyGeorgia/sandbox, so watch there. I dearly hope to be able to start catching up this afternoon, but real life has not been cooperating! And I have two medical articles I must update ... hopefully this week, things will settle down on the home front. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:21, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Stepping away from politics (as much as possible, at least), I was thinking of opening an A-class review. Articles that are A-class are the step between GA and FA, meaning they should be very good; this is typically decided in review at the appropriate WikiProject. I'm thinking of putting Un célebre especialista sacando muelas en el gran Hotel Europa up for FA when I have the time to go through the process fully. After being made a GA, it has seen a peer review with all the points actioned, as well as some other touch-ups, so I think an A-class rating is not out of the question while I prepare for FA nom. For anyone who would like to take a look, A-class criteria is here. We could also set up a review process at WP:Venezuela/Assessments, if there's a level of interest in expanding Venezuela articles.

Code Pink activists occupy Venezuela's embassy in Washington since April. There have been clashes between CP Hands off Venezuela activists and pro-Guaido supporters. I updated CP article but I do not know how is that going to play out. Should this info be added anywhere else?

So the Central Bank just published some results. Where does this information go? I am thinking Crisis in Venezuela and Economy of Venezuela, anywhere else? Also does somebody usually handles this kind of info?-- MaoGo ( talk) 15:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks James, I have updated accordingly. My only fear now is that those updates are used to update the tables (before validity from any sources) but yet again, even with those numbers it is a huge crisis. -- MaoGo ( talk) 14:32, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

I updated 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis to add the new information of Guaido's decree on passports. According to this article of El Pitazo, there are more countries that recognize the expired passport [4], also Efecto Cocuyo [5] and [6]. Let us wait for English sources on this matter. Probably more updates will come during the following weeks on Guaido's decree and the countries accepting it. If you got anything please leave a source here. Also, articles like Venezuelan passport and Juan Guaidó (edit battlefield so be careful) should be updated accordingly. -- MaoGo ( talk) 21:24, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

This has been transcluded from User:Kingsif/Venezuelan sources. The relevant talk page is here.
The numbers are not an indication of ranking, but to allow for identification; however, Aporrea placed at the bottom may be considered the least reliable. Most sources, on this list, will be of a standard "reliable" rating where they are equal - those closer to the top may be easier to access for those outside of Venezuela. This list only includes sources with a Wikipedia page, allowing users to visit the page and further inform themselves on how reliable they believe it may be.
Please add discussion to talk page! (And I encourage discussion!) Kingsif ( talk) 19:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

I find Wikiprojects very useful. You meet users that know the subject and get alerts related to articles that have problems. The problem is that the average newcomer does not know about it. I got into Wikiprojects during a discussion that ping me to one of the projects. What do you think should be a good way to make this project more active and reachable? Do you advice against making ad-like messages to users we find valuable? -- MaoGo ( talk) 21:52, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

I just updated 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis on Bachelet visit [15]. I added two things which maybe need better confirmation: (1) Bachelet didn't come alone, did she? I thought it was a commission with her but English sources do not reflect that. (2) According to Bloomberg, Bachelet said that recent sanctions have worsened the country, but they started in 2003, do you got any other source on that? -- MaoGo ( talk) 15:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Me preocupa que las sanciones impuestas este año por Estados Unidos sobre las exportaciones de petróleo y el comercio de oro están exacerbando y agravando la preexistente crisis económica., "I worry that the sanctions imposed this year by the United States on oil exports and gold trade is worsening the preexisting economic crisis." This is essentially the same position stated in the oral report given months ago, where she expresses concern but recognizes that the crisis precedes the sanctions. -- Jamez42 ( talk) 17:23, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

A serious copyright infringement was found in Carlos Cruz-Diez article the day of his death.

Proposal to delete all portals. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Proposal to delete Portal space. Voceditenore ( talk) 08:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
When updating selections for the Venezuela portal, I've noticed that there are very few featured and good quality Venezuela-related articles - and some of these are barely related at all. So I thought, to promote improvements to the pages covered by the Wikiproject, we could have an edit-a-thon or contest ( examples by other WP's) for quality improvements to articles. Incentives could be userbox icons based on how many classes you've improves articles by collectively - classes because it's easy to rack up 10 already ok articles where cleaning layout takes it from C to B-class, but it's harder to get a stub article to B class. And, because this would ideally be ongoing, perhaps a different theme of article every month to keep it interesting?

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
As an expansion of the WikiProject, I've created a module that allows users to create a nomination page for articles that they want to be assessed for A-class. I've also made an FAQ on A-class over at the Assessment page, where the form for nominations is. This is for articles of a good standard that also have a great content coverage in relation to their topic. If you know of any Venezuela-related articles that might meet the A-class criteria, go ahead and nominate! Kingsif ( talk) 23:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
