Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bolivia

I am posting this here in the event project page stalkers might be able to help. I really wanted to write her story for lawyer's month. But she is not on WP.es and what I find is tantalizing, but insufficient documentation. This says she passed her legal exams in November 1928. This says she was denied a license to practice because she had not completed the mandatory military service. This says she became Bolivia's first woman lawyer on 22 January 1938. Did it really take her ten years? She was involved in the First Feminist Congress in Bolivia as well. There is a biography, in the archives of La Paz. Anyone want to collaborate on her bio? Please ping me. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 17:34, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Proposed change to election/referendum naming format.

Formation of Hardeman

The Flood of 1968 in a zone of northern Santa Cruz, Bolivia, caused displacement of many people living on small farms. Many of these refugees were sheltered in schools in Montero. The refugees eventually were given land in El Bosque del Niño Perdido, and formed the Colonia Hardeman.

We should follow @Mewulwe:'s lead & remove the numbering from all Bolivian presidents & vice presidents bios articles & related articles. GoodDay (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion as a result of content reversals which lacks participants and unfortunately is not very content-specific.
Would be nice to see some (more) opinions concerning the reversed suggestions.

The Colorado Lake is a minimal stub and has a number of errors (e.g. wrong department). The full page on the Lake/Laguna is Laguna Colorada so I'd suggest turning Colorado Lake into a redirect. Mentioned on the talk page for Colorado Lake. Unsure about how one starts a discussion for consensus. PsamatheM (talk) 19:36, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Following discussion with no objections Colorado Lank now "deleted by redirect" following merge into Laguna Colorada PsamatheM (talk) 12:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Which is it? was Jeanine Anez the 66th president of Bolivia? or just an acting president. GoodDay (talk) 16:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Bolivia is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted to the contest. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Would anyone be interested in joining a sub project of WP:Anthropology on oral tradition? WP's coverage of this is quite poor atm imo Kowal2701 (talk) 17:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Project members are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning some vouchers to help you buy books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for your project, sign up if interested.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:29, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

WikiProject Bolivia, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Hi, we are having a discussion here that might be of your interest about which infobox format to use for the Bolivian general election articles. Cheers! Basque mapping (talk) 23:13, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Project members are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to $2680 in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:17, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

A complete set of municipality locator maps for all Bolivian municipalities is now on Commons here. Please deploy as you can to existing municipality pages.--Carwil (talk) 17:36, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

I have just published an article about the Bolivian painter Luis Zilveti: Luis Zilveti

Conflict of interest declaration: Luis Zilveti is my father. I have declared this on my user page in accordance with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. I have taken care to rely exclusively on independent, verifiable secondary sources.

Note on existing Wikipedia articles: A Wikipedia article on Luis Zilveti already exists in Spanish (es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Zilveti) and was published in French in May 2026 (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Zilveti), where it passed a full editorial review by volunteer Kirham. Both articles were used as sources and cross-references.

Sources used include:

• Los Tiempos (major Bolivian national daily), January 2018
• La Razón (Bolivia's leading newspaper), August 2022
• Brújula Digital (Bolivian news outlet), March 2026
• Página Siete (Bolivian national daily), May 2021
• MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain (French public cultural institution), 2022
• Diccionario Cultural Boliviano (encyclopaedic source)
• Harold Suárez Llápiz (art critic, Chaska review, September 2025)
• Alfonso Gumucio Dagrón (Bolivian writer and filmmaker), 2016
• Ojo Andino Bolivia — Bolivian Contemporary Artists

 (Imago Mundi / Luciano Benetton Collection) — English-language 
 international publication

The artist's notability is supported by: over 70 solo exhibitions across six decades, permanent collections in 8 museums in Latin America and Europe, inclusion in MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain (2022), and existing Wikipedia articles in Spanish and French.

Thank you for your help. Marcosandreszs (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

This article is highly important to this WikiProject. Its sentences inconsistently use both British and American spelling. I’ve made a to-do list for this article and nominated it for improvement. 2600 etc (talk) 01:42, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

There are 339 Bolivian municipalities and 192 of them have Wikipedia pages, but the data on them is incomplete and increasingly dated. Here are two maps of just how dated the current information is:

Year of Census data cited on English Wikipedia pages.

Year that mayors listed on English Wikipedia pages were elected.

I'm working on a data project to generate fresh, properly cited Wikitext from R scripts and I am sharing it here on a page for WikiProject editors to incorporate into existing pages. This data includes:

• Province, department
• A government section with current mayor, size of council, and members of council from the 2026 elections
• Population over the past four censuses
• A demographic population pyramid
• Leading Indigenous ethnic identifications
• Leading languages spoken
• Mostly rural community names from IGM

You can see all these features on wiki at Tarvita Municipality.

I'm looking both for feedback and for your help integrating these element into existing articles.

Do you see anything that needs to be changed about the format? Do you have any concerns or requests? Let me know! -- Carwil (talk) 17:45, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
