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?

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. --

I agree with Enano275, the Vinotinto color is just fine. I am as far as possible of being pro-Chavez, Vinotinto is not chavista. --

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.
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.--
Ozzyprv05:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)reply
Try upgrading to a newer version of Firefox. I'm using 1.5.0.3 and see no problems.
Are there indian reservation in Venezuela? Or something like indian reservation? Indian territory? Where I get information about them?--

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018,
membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
Since this is dead, I hope nobody minds if I update it? I might set a rolling timer for a month or so to update, and find the most recent DYKs, etc.

@
Northamerica1000: While the effort to clean-up all portals to your liking is just about appreciated and accepted, you should have left a message first and pinged/left a message for me directly. At the top of this talk page it clearly says that "This portal is manually maintained by Kingsif. Please contact these user(s) when you plan to make significant changes" and you ignored this, going against the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia and the portals project. Even if there were a consensus to edit this portal in these ways specifically, I feel like I should have been at least told first before you overhauled the system. The issue now is that there isn't a lot of quality content, and I was manually rotating in B-class articles to keep the portal fresh, as well as being able to display article relevant to the month. And I'll still be manually handling the 'In this month' section, since there's no transclusion for that (I've been a bit slack with, you know, COVID-19, but still). I don't feel like you've particularly improved things, and you went behind my (and the Venezuela Wikiproject's) back to do it. At least a courtesy ping, given the massive notice at the top of the page telling you to do that, should have happened.

@
Kingsif: Sorry about that, I totally overlooked the maintainer box atop. I will be checking this first from now on. Well, would you agree that the addition of GA-class articles was an improvement? What about
Portal:Venezuela/Selected list, which has been displaying the same static article since December 2019? Would you like for me to restore this and the other sections (
Portal:Venezuela/Selected article,
Portal:Venezuela/Selected bio), and perhaps use transclusions, so the content is at least up-to-date. Many portals were deleted at MfD for being oudated, for having static pages, for not being updated with new content, and for other such reasons. North America100001:07, 22 April 2020 (UTC)reply
(
edit conflict) December 2019 really isn't that long ago, long after the MfD explosion, and obviously COVID-19 has even taken up the time and effort of mass-deleters. Please remember I am around in the portals project, I do know these things. Not that Venezuela is anywhere near a small enough topic/outdated enough portal to think about deletion for a long time. I'm constantly improving the Venezuela articles, though, so maybe in a year or so your way will be more efficient.

@
Kingsif: Okay, I have restored the Selected bio and Selected list sections. I used transclusions, which provides readers with up-to-date information. Hopefully you're okay with the use of transclusions. North America100001:26, 22 April 2020 (UTC)reply
Well it does make it ugly as sin since the image and text size can't be changed to make things actually fit, so my layout senses are going crazy.

If it helps, you can show a different excerpt each month automatically with something like {{
Transclude selected excerpt|selected={{#time:M}}|Jan=Divina Pastora (Barquisimeto)|Feb=1992 Venezuelan coup d'état attempts|Mar=...}}.
