References

• Everything looks fine here. A little skeptical on "Venezuela Tuya" however. Is that a magazine, looking at the website, it is hard to tell.

  Its a website that contains most information about Venezuela. It is very accurate, as most info available on the site is relied upon high quality books which are not commonly available online. Although, I try not to use it if better sources exist. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 04:18, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
