[edit] Wikiproject Wikiproject LOC Country StudiesI have started a Wikiproject that involves taking the public domain LOC Country Studies and incorporating them into Wikipedia. Go to the Colombiasubpage to participate or observe progress on the Colombia section.--Bkwillwm 01:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC) [edit] NoteHi! I just wanted to let you guys know I just originated the Teresa Pizarro de Angulo article. Fix it as you deem needed. Thank you and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio Martino Martin [edit] Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team cooperationHello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC) [edit] QuoteHi. I maintain the Latin America portal. Does anyone know of any good quotes by/about Colombians, or indeed anyone in Latin America, which I have not already added to here? I would like to have 31 quotes on a monthly cycle, but am getting stuck. --Estrellador* 20:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC) [edit] Project directoryHello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC) [edit] Banner and userboxesHello, all. I just noticed that there didn't seem to be any userbox or banner for this project. Boldly and maybe a little recklessly, I created one of each which can be seen in Category:WikiProject Colombia. Please review them to see if they would be acceptable to you. Thank you, and good luck with the project. Badbilltucker 19:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC) [edit] StampsHey, I just noticed that my old list List of people on stamps of Colombia still has a great many red links to Colombians famous enough to get themselves on a stamp. Either we need redirects to the preferred form of the names, or project people need to get busy and write more bios. :-) Stan 14:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC) [edit] New articlesJust informing you I have created many stubs about volcanoes of Colombia, you can find 'em at Category:Volcanoes of Colombia. Regards. - Darwinek 19:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC) [edit] Catedral de SalAbout a year and a half ago I was in Bogotá for a couple of math conferences, and I visited an underground cathedral that was constructed in a salt mine near there with some friends who I was staying with. This seems like a good topic for a wikipedia article, and I have a number of photographs that could be used for illustration, if anybody here knows anything about it. I don't know exactly where it is, except that it is within driving distance of Bogotá. --Ramsey2006 07:05, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New templatesI suggest that we should have more templates, I think that we should steal those from WP:ENGLAND and use them with the wiki icon with the Colombian flag colors--ometzit<col> 19:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] WP:ACID nom of Simón BolívarHello WP Colombia, I just realized I never alerted the relevant WikiProjects to the fact that Simón Bolívar is a current ACID nominee. I'm not trying to votestack, I just want all of you to be aware of this and those that are interested can help out. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 02:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC) [edit] Organizing geographyThere is an article that appears to have been computer translated from Spanish and then partially worked over entitled Orography of Cúcuta. Although the literal title of this article from the Spanish is Orography of Cúcuta, it seems to me that it is actually a discussion of the mountains and physical geography of the east-central part of North Santander Department. It seems to me that the mountains and physical geography of Colombia ought to be discussed in a comprehensive way based upon geographic and not political boundaries. If the orography (or geography) of each municipality is discussed in a separate article, then there will be much duplication. For example, much of this article would seem to apply to the surrounding municipalities such as Villa del Rosario, San Cayetano and Los Patios. In the article [[]] we have identified four regions:
where there is enough information that each could be their own article, and the individual mountain ranges, rivers, etc. could also have their own articles. The Cúcuta article could refer to the Andean Highlands article and to specific important features as it does now. All of the material in the current Orography of Cúcuta article would be retained. What do you think? --Bejnar 22:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
--Sofía —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.139.211.214 (talk) 04:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC) [edit] Bolívar's War,South American wars of independenceHello,i wanted to talk about the articles about this subjects,i looked at them recently and saw that besides being terribly small for the importance and relevance FOR DIFERENT COUNTRIES they want to merged them all in one article and do a melted pot whit it.So please i urge you to vote for the expansion of this articles rather than their merging.What logic does it have that a war of just one country,the USA,has several articles dealing whit it,some even reaching the 50 kylobites,while the wars of independence of South America that features different countries,ideologies,people is composed mainly of stubs and unreferenced articles.And now they want to merged them!please see whit your own eyes and vote: South American wars of independence Saludos desde Venezuela :) --Andres rojas22 19:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bilateral relations discussionI would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:59, 8 April 2007 (UTC) [edit] Colombian Civil War (1860-1862)I've just started an article on the Colombian Civil War (1860-1862) which has been alluded to in the Grenadine Confederation. I have expanded it as much as I can at the moment, but please know that I have no knowledge of Colombian history and am finding it very difficult to find any sources. Another user (presumably from your project) came a long and tagged it as high importance, and seeing that it seems to be the event that ended the Grenadine Confederation and created the United States of Colombia I thought I might ask this project for some help? Many thanks SGGH 21:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC) [edit] Terrorist attacks in ColombiaHi everyone. I have noticed that there is very little information about terrorist attacks in Colombia in Wiki, other than possibly about El Nogal. Considering this has been an important and ongoing issue in our country, I have decided to take it upon myself to contribute in this category. I have added many entries to the Terrorrist Incidents list and now I intend on expanding on most of them. If anybody is already working on this, I'd appreciate if you can tell me how you'd like me to contribute. This is my first attempt on Wikipedia and I have created a stub on the DAS Building Terrorist Attack, which I will use to create the rest, as more imformation becomes available. Jealonso 21:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC) Jealonso [edit] Reassesment of Article Ratings and Contributions to Existing ArticlesFrankly I think the Article Ratings on a few Articles in this Wikiprojects scope are a bit low. Also I don't see a reason why Juanes is rated GA at all. If anything it is B. We should work towards reassesment of some of these articles and reworking all articles to START status. I have already started on Colombia-Peru War and hope you guys can help contribute sources to continue filling that article out. I feel it has reached START status and I want to get it to at least B status. Considering it is the only war against another nation Colombia has fought since her indepence I beleive it is a very important piece. Lets get together and work on this. I have already listed a large amount of sources and I want them to stay on that page even if most of them are not valid. Albeit; they took a heavy amount of google digging and they have a great amount of information in them. What we need most is confirmed sources of the articles and images posted in those threads. Hopefuly together we can get this running. If you got a question or need to contact me all my info is on my user page. Electronicmaji 12:35, 10 July 2007 (CET) [edit] Coat of armsContinuing from a discussion at User_talk:Zscout370#WP:COL, there seems to be an issue with some of your members of the image of the state arms. I began to replace all instances with the SVG version I uploaded due to issues of copyright. I wonder what is exactly wrong with that image? I know the condor looked funny to one user, but is it due to color or some other factor. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC) The color and shape are not right.. look here: Andean condor, the bird is black and the shape of your's sincerely looks like a cartoon.--F3rn4nd0 (Roger - Out) 19:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC) [edit] Articles for deletion: AtrabiliosoAtrabilioso at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atrabilioso (8 October 2007)
[edit] New PageHi. I wasn't really sure where to play this on the WikiProject Colombia page. I just created the page List of FARC Political Hostages. It is still being written but all the names are in... I think. Please help out filling out the empty spaces or making any formatting changes. Thanks, Colombiano21 (talk) 03:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC) [edit] AtacoThe Ataco page says the town's name is Ataco Ataco. If this is correct, then I would request the page be renamed, as there is a Salvadoran town named simply Ataco, in the department of La Unión. If this is incorrect, it would be helpful if someone from WP Colombia would correct the error. Muchísimas gracias ... Lawikitejana (talk) 23:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC) [edit] Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment schemeAs you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot (Disable) 22:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Articles flagged for cleanupCurrently, 2541 articles are assigned to this project, of which 322, or 12.7%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. Subscribing is easy - just add a template to your project page. If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page. --B.

The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7. We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC) [edit] Latin American cinema task forceA Latin American cinema task force has been proposed at WP:FILMS, which would include the cinema of Colombia. Interested editors are encouraged to sign up - if there is enough interest, then the task force will be created! Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC) [edit]Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Colombia, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Colombia, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added. The articles in question are listed in Category:Colombia articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 453 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates. [edit] Why add coordinates?By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information. [edit] How can I do it?The articles are all marked with {{coord missing}} tags, which need to be replaced with {{coord}} tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if there is any way I can help! -- The Anome (talk) 09:55, 24 October 2008 (UTC) [edit] FYI: New articlesA bot has been set up, which looks through the new Wikipedia articles and picks up those that are likely related to Colombia. The search results are available at User:AlexNewArtBot/ColombiaSearchResult and are normally updated on a daily basis. Colchicum (talk) 01:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC) [edit] Coordinators' working groupHi! 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 05:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC) [edit] FACI have nominated Nevado del Ruiz for FA. Those interested can comment here. Ceranthor 17:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC) [edit] Article alertsThis 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 Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here. Thanks. — Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 08:58, 15 March, 2009 (UTC) [edit] Departments of ColumbiaHelp is needed renaming the 32 departments of Columbia. See Talk:Department of Caquetá.

The Transhumanist 00:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC) [edit] GA Sweeps invitationThis message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in. We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria. If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 07:07, 20 May 2009 (UTC) [edit] Bogotá and Bogotá Capital DistrictWhat's the difference between the two? Are they the same? I cannot tell by reading the two articles, although there are a lot of repetition between them. If they are the same (like Washington D.C. and District of Columbia), perhaps they should be merged? Chanheigeorge (talk) 04:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] FARC or FARC-EPI raised this issue on the FARC talk page. I believe the name should be standardized in all articles. The question is should we call the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia FARC or FARC-EP. For what it is worth according to the main article: "The group added “-EP” (Ejército del Pueblo) to its official name during its Seventh Guerrilla Conference in 1982". But of course the international media usually refers to them as "FARC." Shall we vote on it or what? --Phil5329 (talk) 20:38, 7 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] Image uploadingHola. Is anybody here familiar with copyrighting and image uploading? I want to get an image uploaded onto the Serranilla Bank page that is crucial to its factual status as Colombian. If anybody can help, the image URL is on the article's talk page. Thankyou!!! Rennell435 (talk) 15:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC) [edit] Liliana LozanoHi all. I've just made a page for Liliana Lozano. However, I am sadly unfamiliar with the history of Colombia and I don't speak Spanish very well, so I was hoping someone wouldn't mind giving it a quick CE. Most of my sources are Spanish and I've done the best I can in putting the article together from them, but there are some parts I fear I may have fumbled (particularly about her beauty pageant winnings). If someone wouldn't mind taking a look I'd appreciate it! — Hunter Kahn (c) 22:34, 9 November 2009 (UTC) I can give you some pointers, but as you may be able to tell I am new to being an editor in Wikipedia and prefer to point them here than trying to go into the article. First, there is not such thing as the "Carnival of Colombia" there are many carnivals in the country, and "The National Bambuco Festival and Pageant" is just one of them. I would assume that is where Liliana was crowned as the national queen of Bambuco in 1995. The articles don't make a direct mention of this mostly because -I believe- they assume the readers to be familiar with it. Along the same lines, she would have been crowned Caquetá's Bambuco queen at the department's regional pageant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crozo7 (talk • contribs) 05:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC) | ||||||||||||||
