Talk:Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela

Article title
If the Spanish title is Armada Nacional Bolivariana de Venezuela, then the English language title would be "National Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela" or "Venezuelan Bolivarian National Navy". The latter is used at National Armed Forces of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This article was moved without discussion in 2007 from Navy of Venezuela. Having had a quick flick through other language Wikis, they all seem to use variants of "National Navy of Venezuela" or "Navy of Venezuela". I suggest it's time to find a suitable title.

 * It is time to return to this. Firstly the official name is not (now?) Armada Nacional Bolivariana de Venezuela - it is Armada Bolivariana de Venezuela - see http://www.armada.mil.ve/portal/.  I think that would make the right title for the article "Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela" or "Venezuelan Bolivarian Navy".  Surely we cannot keep the current multilingual hotch-potch.Davidships (talk) 15:49, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * SUPPORT—I concur with User:Davidships, the current title is a hodgepodge and needs to be changed. My preferred title would be "Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela" but I would support "Venezuelan Bolivarian Navy" as well, if the consensus goes that way.  N2e (talk) 17:19, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 13:52, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Immense infobox
The infobox is three screens long, at least on my laptop. Why? Isn't an infobox supposed to summarise the most vital points? Do we even need an infobox at all? bobrayner (talk) 22:20, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

How much of this "Navy" really exists?
How much of this "Navy" really exists today? The article has a list of old boats & ships that are mostly old—operated by the Venezuelan government when it was run by an entirely different political regime before Chavez/Maduro and the hard move to a new constitution plus socialist government norms—and much of that is unsourced.

It is really challenging coming to this article today and getting any real sense of just what this Navy is, or how much of it is present in actuality, rather than on paper as dregs of old ships/boats with no recent verifiable sources to confirm operation. We should improve the article just by making it better conform to whatever the current naval reality is in Venezuela. N2e (talk) 11:40, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
