Wikipedia:WikiProject Venezuela

The WikiProject Venezuela is a collaborative effort between several wikipedians that gathered together to better organise information on articles and topics directly or indirectly related to Venezuela. Any user [Venezuelan or not] who wishes to work or is currently working on any topic related to Venezuela is invited to join the Wikiproject and give us a hand at expanding and improving venezuela-related articles.

Discussions about how to improve articles, information about guidelines, hints about good and bad sources or just to find anyone willing to help you at any article should be held in the talk page of the project. Suggestions, commentary and any other interesting topic that you would like to share with us will be very welcomed at the talk page too.

The Venezuela-related noticeboard is also available for editors to help each other and mantain a good coordination when developing articles and other topics. The noticeboard is mainly for making announcements, novelties, updates, and have a following of the new articles that have been created, and works as an extension of this WikiProject.

This Project's objectives are to maintain and expand articles with complete information, better organization, and achieve a neutral point of view. Everyone is invited to join (Venezuelan or not), including Spanish translators. The main objectives of this WikiProject are:

1. To improve the articles, lists, and tables related to Venezuela, in order to attain better quality.
2. To create articles necessary and/or related to a general subject (i.e., History, Geography, Culture, etc.)
3. To maintain a neutral point of view in articles.
4. To encourage participation, including those that are not members of this project.
