[edit] Latin cultures

Hello everyone! You may want to go to Latin cultures an participate in the article and discussion. There are a lot of disputed statements... The Ogre 12:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin American Studies

I've been creating a bunch of pages (mostly stubs) on Latin American Studies: see Category:Latin_American_studies. Would anyone be interested in helping me add to these and fleshing them out? Is there another good place to look for volunteers? --Jbmurray 17:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I should take the fact that I haven't heard any response to this suggestion to mean that this project is at least temporarily dormant? --Jbmurray 09:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mrs. South America Accused of Strangling Husband

I would say no: Acussation (nothing proved), and not that notable.--Mariano(t/c) 20:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tagging country pages

hi, we are on an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject reform, to see if you should continue tagging Southamerica countries talkpages. --Andersmusician $ 05:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of attention.

Not sure how active this project is, but I came across an article that needs attention. Germans in Argentina has the start of a great article, but it is still very non-encyclopedic in tone. I removed 1st person references, and tried to add section headers. The information is all there, but someone with more interest and knowledge in the subject than I needs to comb through and extract the encyclopedia article from this term paper. I did all that I could. Good luck. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 03:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jodensavanne

I edited the article and added it to Project South America, as it seemed detached from its region to me. Hope that is ok. Do I need to do anything else? gidonb 16:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potential Collaboration: Indian Slavery

I've nominated the very short article on Indian Slavery for the Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive. The article covers two continents and some 420 years of history, but lacks basic organization and a lot of relevant information. It deserves to be brought up to the caliber of other articles on Slavery, Slavery in the United States, and so on. You can vote for it at the improvement drive page. --Carwil 14:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bolivian provinces

Major goal: Please can people begin to expand all the provinces of Bolivia. Some of them are only a sentence long. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 22:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] French Guiana and Chile in the Dutch Empire

Hello everyone! There is a discussion at Talk:Dutch Empire#Request For Comment: Map, because user Red4tribe has made a map of the Dutch Empire (Image:Dutch Empire 4.png) that includes significative parts of French Guiana and Chile. Would you like to comment? Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 15:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Still OR, POV and unsourced (yours is not not a credible source). Please discuss stuff at Talk:Dutch Empire#Request For Comment: Map. This was just a request for comment, not a discussion. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 16:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Draft Guidelines for Lists of companies by country - Feedback Requested

Within WikiProject Companies I am trying to establish guidelines for all Lists of companies by country, the implementation of which would hopefully ensure a minimum quality standard and level of consistency across all of these related but currently disparate articles. The ultimate goal is the improvement of these articles to Featured List status. As a WikiProject that currently has one of these lists within your scope, I would really appreciate your feedback! You can find the draft guidelines here. Thanks for your help as we look to build consensus and improve Wikipedia! - Richc80 (talk) 21:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] South American music industry

I've been unable to find information pertaining to the music industries in South America, particularly Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, so I was hoping someone here could help me. Is there an equivalent to the Recording Industry Association of America or British Phonographic Industry in any of those or other South American countries? I ask because I'm working on a global music-market type article (List of music recording sales certifications) and I've been unable to find much info pertaining to the South American music industry. Any help anyone could give would very much appreciated. Drewcifer (talk) 02:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 19th century witch trials

Hello! I have an interest in witch trials. There is several claimants out on the net about the occurence of witch trials in South America in the 1800s. They are merely short mentions that a large amount of witch trials occured in the first half of this century; they do not mention which country. Is there anyone here who knows anything about this? In which country or countries did this happen, and during which years? Do you know anything of the circumstances, or about any individual cases? Can you recomend a site on the net, or give me some names, places and years to google? I would be most grateful for a reply! Regards--Aciram (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
