Talk:Demographics of Venezuela/Archive 1

Murder rate

 * Venezuela's criminality has dramatically risen since 1998. It has one of the highest rates of murders per 100000 inhabitants in all Latin America, as the reports from United Nations' Office on Drugs and Crimes show.

In the Seventh Survey, the numbers for 'Total prosecuted for committed intentional homicide' are 4251 (18,32 per 100.000) in 1998, 4370 (18,44) in 1999 and 1555 (6,43) in 2000. In the 'Total recorded intentional homicide, completed' table, the number are 4550 (19,61) in 1998, 5974 in 1999 (25,21) and 8022 (33,15)

Eigth UN Survey On Crime Trends (2001-2002) say that 'Total prosecuted for committed intentional homicide' was 358 (1,45 per 100.000) in 2001 and 382 (1,52) in 2002. In the 'Total recorded intentional homicide, completed' table, there is no data recorded for Venezuela. 84.48.58.93 08:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:NOR
I recommend further study on this claim, a hidden edit was taken down on a possible migration of North Americans (both whites and American Indians) to Venezuela, but was deemed unsourced and enigmatic.

I heard of a tale when thousands of Americans from the Southern U.S. after the U.S. Civil war arrived in Venezuela and made new homes on the Caribbean coast. The American expats are former confederate politicans and plantation owners lost their property in the US civil war. The historic tale was discussed in the People's Almanac under "Confederate exiles in Mexico and Latin America".

In the late 19th century, thousands of Cherokee and Choctaw (Native American migrants from Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), assimilated to western society and prosperous farm owners, chose to settle in Venezuela. I'm been researching the topic with little leads, but might be a myth in the Cherokee Nation and Native American community in the U.S.

The anon IP/AOL user hadn't did a good job: other edits (appearedly POV) on Hugo Chavez, his economic policies "damaged" and "hurt" the country's upper-classes, and the millions of Venezuelans went to America, etc. aren't sourced, though reported in the (North and South) Americas' mass media (spanish-language TV and radio news).

The country's petroleum industry, social welfare programs and income per capita (where did you get the claim Venezuela was the highest annual income in Latin America, but in the 1970s?) are described in the article, and that's pointless to repeat the statements in the page related to demographics of Venezuela.63.3.14.1 14:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Background and overview
This section is completely unsourced OR, it is also too long for an introduction, I suggest trimming it, removing the OR or sourcing JRSP 13:45, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Demographics of Venezuela
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Demographics of Venezuela's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cia": From Demographics of Uruguay:  From White Latin American: The World Factbook, CIA 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:55, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

different approach than in the Venezuela article's section
Venezuela article's section has some cities in the first chapter, yet there is nothing in here. Only something about urban population percantage. I would expect there to be something since there reads: "Main article: Demographics of Venezuela".

Then there are sections "Ethnic groups", "Languages" and "Religion". Of those, languages and religion have their own articles, but ethnicity has only two lines in this 'demographics' article and much longer section in 'Venezuela' article. The same text should probably be here too, if it actually belongs to demographics section & article. 85.217.42.90 (talk) 23:24, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Census vs. other population data.
So I noticed that some edits have placed data from UN, World Bank, etc. in tables that are actually from Venezuela's census. This would be a mistake since they may use different numbers. If we are going to make tables, we need sources and preferably from a single source. The question is, should we use the UN or the Venezuelan government's INE?-- ZiaLater  ( talk  ) 16:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Hugo Chavez's view of racial identity in Venezuela
The late president Hugo Chavez would comment his love of diversity and multiculturalism in Venezuela: He said he's proud to be Spanish, indigenous and African, he once said on his weekly TV program: "I'm proud to speak the European Spanish language, I'm a descendant of indigenous peoples in my blood, and I have the thick African lips of my mouth". 67.49.89.214 (talk) 15:00, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
