Disambiguation page for Ciudad Universitaria

Hola a todos! Since people seem to be shy, I'll start with something. Is it possible that somebody could create a disambiguation page for Ciudad Universitaria? (I don't know how to do it) That link takes you directly to the UNAM's main campus. Nothing wrong with the UNAM but we also have our own Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas( I started the article some time ago and I'm still working on it) which is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and therefore, people should be able to find it fairly easy...Don't you think?

Hola, Caracas. Here's an example of how to do a disambiguation page: Tourette. In this case, it would involve renaming and moving the contents of the original article, Ciudad Universitaria, using that page for the disambiguation which would direct towards the Mexico page and the Caracas page. Since there are only two pages to disambiguate, I'm not sure disambiguation is the best way to go ? Perhaps it would be better in this case to add a line to the top of the Ciudad Universitaria article, similar to the line at the top of Tourette syndrome, which refers people to Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas. I'll do that for now, but if you really want a disambiguation page, I think I know how to do it now. Sandy 14:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Sandy! Somehow I didn't think of adding a line(?!) the simpler the better. I think that is the best solution (Caracas1830 18:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Standardized naming conventions in Presidents

See Talk:List of Presidents of Venezuela. Shouldn't we change the presidential names in all lists and templates to either both surnames, or one surname ? They are inconsistent throughout the presidential lists. My suggestion is that the List of Presidents of Venezuela should contain both surnames for all presidents, while the template at the bottom of that page should contain only one surname, for brevity.

Data for vote tally tables

I noticed that the vote tally tables used in several articles (like Hugo Chávez) are not referenced and sourced. I found the data for one of them, and included the reference in the template, Template:ChavezElections2000. Can anyone help locate a reference for the vote tallies in Template:ChavezElections2004, Template:ChavezElections1999, and Template:ChavezElections1998 ? Thanks!

Wikify Orlando Urdaneta

Can anyone wikify Orlando Urdaneta? Seems he called for the assassination of Chavez, and non-Venezuelans might not know who he is. Sandy 19:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I started a small biography today (Caracas1830 15:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Sync Bolivarian Missions with the Missions template

The Bolivarian Missions template does not agree with the article.

  • For consistency, they should be in the same order
  • The template does not include Florentino, Arbol, and Ciencia
  • The article does not include Plan Bolivar 2000 and Piar

WP:VRNB

Howdy. I created the regional notice board for the project. Actually, I made it as a sort of extension, to display news and updates. Go to: Wikipedia:Venezuela-related regional notice board.

Missing articles for places with > 100,000 population

This is a list of towns and cities in Venezuela believed to have 100,000 or more inhabitants that did not yet have a Wikipedia article as of August 23 2006.

Some of these articles may already exist under slightly different names, in which case please make a redirect to the existing article. Some may be ambiguous, in which case please create a disambiguation page for that name, and correct the entry here to point to the largest of the possible candidates. A few of the names here may be obsolete, in which case please correct them.

But most of these articles are genuinely missing, and will need writing from scratch. In some cases, articles about them may exist in non-English-language Wikipedias, in which case you may want to translate that article into English, or use it as a source of information for a new article. (In either case, please don't forget to add an interwiki link to the corresponding article to the article in another language.)

Note: you might want to try looking on the es: Wikipedia for these.
