m Anthony Appleyard moved page Talk:Bolivarian diaspora to Talk:Venezuelan refugee crisis: Requested by ZiaLater at WP:RM/TR: "Bolivarian diaspora" was a term that was initially used by some Venezuelan academics, but is no longer popular. The proposed new article, Venezuelan refugee crisis, is a generic term that will be easier to find for those interested. This will help with splitting up the information of the article in an organized manner. |

I feel that the Second Diaspora section should be split out, especially because I think there should also be a 'Third Diaspora' part; about 1 million people left the country in the first half of 2019, which shows a rapid acceleration in the exodus. This period of emigration isn't given much coverage, which it should, and can be seen as a separate part of the diaspora—both because of the rate and because it fits the timeline of the [[2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis|presidential crisis]]. There's also some number-crossing, with the Consultores 21 saying end-of 2017 there had been 4 million Revolution emigrants, but the end-of 2018 figure being 3.5 million; later numbers seem to count from about 2010 (rather than 2000), it seems some clarity is needed for the various sources' dates, to not confuse people.
The article realistically needs a current update—most of it is accurate, but reading things like 100% in 2015 being the highest in the country's history is kind of laughable when it's 2019 and inflation has rocketed over 2 million%.
The media section is broad and anemic, it requires work (the censorship articles and the relevant parts of Venezuela media articles may be useful). Sections like the prostitution one are also on the slim side for something that has a lot of coverage—big English-language newspapers and media sites have done investigative reports into the topic. The health section should also mention the AIDs crisis. The United States section needs expansion, and at least an update since it ends on a cliffhanger about a 2015 bill. Caribbean islands section probably needs expanding with recent ~disasters~; Colombia could also do with expansion given how significant the migration is there.
Iván de la Vega is mentioned a lot, could we ditch the "Iván" after the first instance?
In 'Statistics', it was stated "Most Venezuelans attempting to leave the country are in higher-income socioeconomic groups, although lower-income groups plan to emigrate as well."—I removed this because it has been stated, in just about the same words, before in the article, and it isn't particularly relevant here.
I've made a few tweaks for some copyediting, but I wouldn't pass this as GA based on incomplete coverage.
