How about red instead for the border? I tried to change it but it didn't work. --Revolución (talk) 19:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

oh now I see it. --Revolución (talk) 19:41, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Red is symbol of blood. Let's keep politics away from Wikipedia! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.231.86.197 (talk • contribs) 06:53, 11 October 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Red...? that's the "Revolution" color

The red color might be a bit partial. Pro-Chávez supporters use the red color. What do you think about another color? Something more neutral. Blue is pretty neutral, I don't think any current political party uses the blue color in Venezuela. Comments? Enano275

The truth is -and you might think i'm stupid- that I had the idea of using the red wine colour as a sports note. I was thinking also on a neutral colour, but then I saw a football game and I had the idea (Vinotinto). I also read somewhere in a magazine that this vinotinto colour supposedly came from the combination of yellow, blue and red with seven white spots; that's how the myth has it. I thought it was somehow emblematic. I mean, I got your point of view. But look at it this way: it's not entirely red. Anyways, if you have a better idea of what colour should be used in here, in a representative and neutral way, then let me know. Cheers. --Alex Coiro 05:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, actually you're right, I didn't think of it that way. The "Vinotinto" is used in many Venezuelan sport teams--Enano275 00:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Enano275, the Vinotinto color is just fine. I am as far as possible of being pro-Chavez, Vinotinto is not chavista. --Ozzyprv 05:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Venezuela

I'm looking forward to found the Wikipedia:WikiProject Venezuela. I had the idea of creating it when I first made the portal. The project will have the main objective of centrating efforts into a more complete information and a higher quality of the articles in Wikipedia, other media in the sister projects, and the portal itself.

However, the rules say that I should have at least five to ten members willing to integrate and contribute to the wikiproject. So if some of you guys want to join in, then leave me a message, or in this page. I will be back in a few days to see how things are going on.

Go to Wikipedia:Wikiproject/List_of_proposed_projects#Venezuela and list yourselves if you wanna join.

[edit] Venezuela portal and Firefox

I am having problems with the portal when using Firefox (v. 1.0.7). All I see is a ~red (vinotinto) box. Does anybody have the same diffuculties? I wish I knew how to fix this bug.--Ozzyprv 05:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Try upgrading to a newer version of Firefox. I'm using 1.5.0.3 and see no problems.
Thanks Enano, I updated Firefox and now it works perfectly.--Ozzyprv 04:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] El Hatillo

I changed the selected article to El Hatillo Municipality, which is now a good article. I hope no one minds, the Caracas Metro had been there for 8 months.--enano (Talk) 04:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
