ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.gounesco.com/intangible-cultural-heritage/festival-of-saint-francis-of-assisi-quibd%c3%b3/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi


A tag has been placed on Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://colombiareports.com/boisterous-san-pacho-festival-prepares-kick-quibdo/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright lyrics
I have removed the anthem lyrics from Tejo (sport), as such material is copyright, and we cannot host it here. — Diannaa (talk) 20:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Autistic assholes busy with "copyright" bullshit
Hey ControlCorV, I've seen your great contributions on Tejo and Colombia in general and added a non-copyrighted link that is also instructive to the Tejo page. Don't get disencouraged by those autistic trolls running around and destroying the hard work of people like yourself. There's much to do that is CONSTRUCTIVE, instead of destructive. Cheers, keep up and all the best, Tisquesusa (talk) 21:13, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

The Arabs have left a significant mark on Colombian society.
With great determination, hard work, and the mercantile traits which they had inherited from their forefathers, they prospered and eventually opened their own businesses in Colombia’s Caribbean coastal towns. Due to their resourcefulness, those who settled in the villages of the countryside were admired and respected by the local inhabitants. However, in the cities, the locals derogatorily called the Syrian newcomers “Turcos,” looking down on them while envying their success.

When the Syrians made some money, most brought brides from their homeland. Only a minority wed Colombian women, including a few from the Guajira Indian tribe. Trying to improve their lives in a land beset by feuding, revolutions and poverty, they had little time to teach their offspring about their Arab culture. In the subsequent years, due to their work-filled lives, the Arabic tongue was almost lost to the Colombian born generations.

Hence, Muslims had to hide their identity. Only much later laws gave freedom and equality to all creeds. Today, there is no problem for people wishing to live under the religion of their choice.

In the political arena, the Arab immigrants have also left an impressive mark. Gabriel Turbay ran for president in 1946, and Julio César Turbay Ayallah, born to an Arab father and Colombian mother, served as president of the country from 1978 to 1982. When first elected he is reported to have stood up in Parliament and declared that he was proud to be of Arab descent.

At any one time, there are from 20 to 30 members of Parliament and the Senate who are of Arab origin.

Colombian singer Shakira, whose father is of Lebanese descent, talks of her pride in her Arabic ancestry.

Respected Colombian neurosurgeon Salomon Hakim, MD, PhD, who worked extensively in the field of hydrocephalus. Dr. Hakim, whose family name means “doctor” or “wise man” in Arabic, earned his medical degree from the Universidad Nacional in Bogotá

The Arabs have left a significant mark on Colombian society.

Bandeja paisa is not consumed by all ethnic groups and is not consumed in all departments of Colombia. This food represents the paisa culture.

Only a small percentage of the Colombian population consumes it in regular basis, that it is originated in a single region of Colombia (Paisa Region) --ControlCorV (talk) 16:08, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

You are not updating any information in the music section. The link about festivals in Colombia already is present in the culture section
You are not updating any information in the music section. The link about festivals in Colombia already is present in the culture section.

You're overloading the section. The Barranquilla Carnival is not the only festival in Colombia. '''And the section about music speaks about Cumbia. The genre is what matters.'''

 * Main article: Culture of Colombia


 * See also: Festivals in Colombia and Colombian folklore  <- Festivals in Colombia


 * Colombia lies at the crossroads of Latin America and the broader American continent, and as such has been hit by a wide range of cultural influences. Native American, Spanish and other European, African, American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern influences, as well as other Latin American cultural influences, are all present in Colombia's modern culture. Urban migration, industrialization, globalization, and other political, social and economic changes have also left an impression.


 * Many national symbols, both objects and themes, have arisen from Colombia's diverse cultural traditions and aim to represent what Colombia, and the Colombian people, have in common. Cultural expressions in Colombia are promoted by the government through the Ministry of Culture. --ControlCorV (talk) 16:18, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
