replies: text: An analysis on the book, its type (historical revisionism?), its critics, and purpose. It would be also good to mention that it is (was?) used as didactical material for history in high-schools, at least in Argentina. Mariano(t/c) 08:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The article in the english version is the same as spanish. I think one is a copy from the other so the mistake was only made once. I'll check around. I'm having a hunch that the University could have been created earlier. 1980 seems like too late in history.200.115.211.77 (talk) 19:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I was really surprised by the sheer size and placement of that section. This book is relevant and influential on its own right (and has been since the 70s) without the 2009 Chavez/Obama incident. I've placed the section at the bottom of this article and removed irrelevant "factoid" material in that section. Frankly I'm not even sure if it is worthy of its own section but I couldn't think of another way to introduce that material into the article.--Jersey Devil (talk) 10:39, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, I have removed the http://www.scribd.com/word/removal/15968599 link on the External links. section due to the fact that it was removed.
As you enter the page, the following appears: This content was removed at the request of Monthly Review Press.
Maybe this next statement isn't neutral, but I'll like to say that it's sad that someone decided to remove a free book.
If it is ever up again, then please feel free to add the link once more.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juzalt (talk • contribs) 22:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This book was recommended to me. I first visited this page to find information about it, but then used a general Google search to find book reviews. The author now disavows his own book: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/24/books/eduardo-galeano-disavows-his-book-the-open-veins.html Leaving this information out makes this page fatally incomplete. Please add this information. --96.84.253.129 (talk) 16:44, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

message: I am planning to make some changes to this article during the following days. First, I'm planning to build upon the background section by adding more information about the author and a historical context sub-section. This is an attempt to give readers all the necessary information to understand where the book and its content is coming from. I will also add a plot summary section that will have sub-sections titled "structure," "summary," and "themes"; in this section, I want to give the reader a complete image of what the book is about, so far the article only had a short paragraph to explain the content of the book. I'm also adding a genre section to discuss Open Veins' role in Latin America's resistance literature. I will rewrite the reception legacy and cultural and political significance sections to include a wider range of perspectives on the book to make the article more balanced and neutral. I hope that these changes will bring the article into line with Wikipedia's criteria for a good article, especially for one on a book. 
This is also a link to an annotated bibliography with sources I will use for the article: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1McJKXLgI-W0CJ3TbVuxNf18Crcvr2RQLFJqTsuEr7Ss/edit?usp=sharing
