Caracas Homicide Rate
editCitation 11 for the Caracas homicide rate is inaccurate to the source. According to citation 11, the homicide rate is 58.82, however I found another source which states that the homicide rate for Caracas is 130 per 100k.

Motto
editThe city's motto is "Seguid El Ejemplo Que Caracas Dio", but the article translates this as "Then Follow the Example that Caracas Gave". But why? Specifically, where in the Spanish original does it say "then"? You would expect the original to begin with the word entonces, luego or después, depending on what "then" is supposed to mean here. Kelisi (talk) 04:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- this is correct, "seguid" is a command in the vosotros tense, the word "then" should not appear. Really the translation into English should be something like "Follow the command that Caracas gave" or "(You all must) follow the command that Caracas gave". ~2026-35194-03 (talk) 21:08, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
National Pantheon is wrong
editBoth the image and the link for the National Pantheon are leading to the wrong, Portuguese, National Pantheon and not the Venezuelan one in Caracas. CanneIIoni (talk) 01:00, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
