Talk:Mission Robinson

Untitled
All the Mission articles are very short, they should be merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.72.36.225 (talk) 20:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

This article claims that Misión Robinson has raised Venezuelan literacy to a "UNESCO-Verified 99%." The article cites no sources for this statement. The reference given to the UNESCO web site takes you to a page on the UNESCO site that reads "Provided by the Permanent Delegation of Venezuela to UNESCO." There is no UNESCO report on Misión Robinson. There is no independent verification of the government's claim. The claim is not even reflected in any government statistical publication. It comes from statements made by public officials. For all we know, they may well be pure government propaganda.


 * Very true, the information in this article is not independently verified, and should be stated as such.

The article has now been updated with a link to the Venezuelan Education Minister's statements, which clarify that UNESCO has not certified the program.

Fair use rationale for Image:Mision robinson1.jpg
Image:Mision robinson1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Removing unsourced claim
I removed: "The standard for a country to be considered free of illiteracy being 95%. " There is a dead link, but as much as I tried I couldn't recover it. It is possible that it contained that claim, but we don't know. And if it did, than it might have also contained the claim that the illiteracy rate was down to 1 %. (Cf. ) I didn't find any place where UNESCO gives this or the other often cited number of 96 %. Both numbers only appear in articles speaking about countries or other territorial entities who used the Cuban Yes, I Can method and declared themselves "free of illiteracy". 123 (talk) 21:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
