Talk:Guyana–Venezuela territorial dispute

message: What is the population of the area? what resources are in the area? usually of interest in these kind of border disputes. Ottawakismet (talk) 16:10, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Gold, diamonds and bauxite. According to the Canadian government, "gold represented 8.8% of Guyana’s economic output in 2021". The Wiki article on mining in Guyana sources a report on Guyana gold being refined in Canada. It is "more than 60 per cent of our total non-oil export earnings,” according to Senior Minister in the Office of the President of Guyana, Dr. Ashni Singh.

text: I've seen recent estimates saying that the population can be around 120,000 people, but that would probably need to be checked. --NoonIcarus (talk) 17:22, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

message: PRIMERA: ¿Está usted de acuerdo en rechazar por todos los medios, conforme al Derecho, la línea impuesta fraudulentamente por el Laudo Arbitral de París de 1899, que pretende despojarnos de nuestra Guayana Esequiba?
SEGUNDA: Apoya usted el Acuerdo de Ginebra de 1966 como el único instrumento jurídico válido para alcanzar una solución práctica y satisfactoria para Venezuela y Guyana, en torno a la controversia sobre el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba?
TERCERA: ¿Está usted de acuerdo con la posición histórica de Venezuela de no reconocer la Jurisdicción de la Corte Internacional de Justicia para resolver la controversia territorial sobre la Guayana Esequiba?
CUARTA: ¿Está usted de acuerdo en oponerse, por todos los medios conforme a Derecho, a la pretensión de Guyana de disponer unilateralmente de un mar pendiente por delimitar, de manera ilegal y en violación del derecho internacional?
QUINTA: ¿Está usted de acuerdo con la creación del estado Guayana Esequiba y se desarrolle un plan acelerado para la atención integral a la población actual y futura de ese territorio que incluya entre otros el otorgamiento de la ciudadanía y cédula de identidad venezolana, conforme al Acuerdo de Ginebra y el Derecho Internacional, incorporando en consecuencia dicho estado en el mapa del territorio venezolano?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:586:4380:B400:90FF:CED2:A27A:753A (talk) 05:10, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Why are you removing reliably sourced information about Venezuela pressuring Guyana shortly after the letters independence? WMrapids (talk) 21:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The added text is analysis/essay. For instance, the CSIS article puts Maduro's latest provocations into perspective. Venezuela naturally does not considers the Ankoko Island as part of the dispute. The dispute must be presented in a neutral manner. --NoonIcarus (talk) 21:56, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A better question is what the reliable-source / international consensus view is, not what Venezuela's view is. JM (talk) 16:26, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  I totally agree on that point. Is there any position that you believe is currently reflected only by Venezuela's view? --NoonIcarus (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Guyana–Venezuela territorial dispute →  – This seems like a much more WP:CONCISE and debatably WP:PRECISE name for the dispute. Based on Google hits, proposed title has nearly 84K hits, compared to present title's nearly 15K hits. Though searching "Essequibo dispute" does give us present title, I suspect that is only because of the present title being used here. 
Would also dispute the need for the current disambiguation page at [[Essequibo dispute] to exist since all of it refers to broadly the same topic. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 18:18, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
