Map
A controversy has erupted over the choice of map for this article. The two candidates are shown here, along with any others that other Wikipedians may choose to enter. Feel free to make any comments. The lower map may also appear in the corresponding Geography article for this country. Kelisi 03:23, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I prefer the lower Kelisi map, --SqueakBox 03:28, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
- i belive the lower map is two detailed to include alongside article text and i dislike breaking the flow of the text with images. Plugwash 00:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
There is also a border contreversy with Venezuela. 2/3 of Guyana is claimed to be Venezulian (the reclamation zone known as Guyana Esequibo). I don't have much information on that but you can have a look on venezualian maps http://www.vheadline.com/graf/Venezuela_mapa_politico.gif
and see this website http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/ve_gy.html for further information. It might be interesting to mention it.
I would like to announce the establishment of the Wikipedia:Caribbean Wikipedians' notice board. Anyone with an interest in the Caribbean is welcome to join in. Guettarda 1 July 2005 04:03 (UTC)

Guyana-stub & Category:Guyana-related stubs up for deletion vote.
Template:Guyana-stub & Category:Guyana-related_stubs - I had created these at the time because Guyana was the only country along with Suriname not to have a separate stub section in South America. The reason was before all Guyana and Suriname stubs were simply thrown into the large list of Category:South America stubs. My thought are that If these two do get deleted as suggested, everyone creating any article in the future about Guyana should include Category:Guyana at least at the bottom so you wont have to fish one-by-one through the long list for any Guyana articles on Category:South America stubs if they stay in the South America article for too long without work the articles themselves may go up for deletion vote.

Photos
I think that this article needs a good many more pictures. Oh, it has maps, but we need actual pictures from inside the country. Scorpionman 23:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Anyone here know more about de folklore/story of the Backoo or bakou(sp?)
in the hinterlands?
In the Economy part
Under the Economy Heading, it says the 9.1% unemployment is understated. Can we get real figures in, or was "understated" someones sort of self-righteousness? (I see that a lot, socialists that make bad names for the rest of them by always bashing everything to do with the economy)
Guyanese people
Is there a famous Guyanese people list?
