[edit] two things

There are two "things" in the table. One is obviously the national flag. What is the thing on the right? Is it a national crest or something? It would be nice if they were labeled. -- Zoe

[edit] Wikipedia:Caribbean Wikipedians' notice board

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 04:13 (UTC)

[edit] the map is wrong

The disputed pieces should at least be mentioned...

[edit] what?

first - the flag is wrong. Since when were the stripes grey? second - that 'modified' (vandalised more like) map looks awful.

[edit] Structural Adjustment

I've eliminated the sentence which stated as fact that market liberalization and "structural adjustment" were necessary elements of improving the economy. This is neo-liberal theory which has not panned out so well in reality in many nations and should not be stated as fact.

[edit] Soccer players?

What's up with the soccer players? I've checked out every single link to the players and their articles say that they were born in Amsterdam, except for Seedorf. Daiver

[edit] Images

Other than the crude map and flags, the only image in this article is a picture of some houses from 1955. Also, what is the picture of the tailor's shop doing way down below the external links? There must be a better place for it, there are three sections without any pictures. Can't we also get some more pictures? I unfortunatly don't have any to supply, but perhaps somebody else does.

[edit] Proposed WikiProject

In my ongoing efforts to try to include every country on the planet included in the scope of a WikiProject, I have proposed a new project on South America at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#South America whose scope would include Suriname. Any interested parties are more than welcome to add their names there, so we can see if there is enough interest to start such a project. Thank you for your attention.

[edit] Suriname or Surinam

I am not sure if the name is correct and unfortunately do not have an American atlas to check it , according to "The Times World Atlas" it is Surinam, in the Article it is Suriname. A quick check of Google and it seems pretty evenly split can someone offer an answer.--Matt 06:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
