Papiemento

My error, sorry.

Alonso de Ojeda's bride

I removed text referring to Alonso de Ojeda marrying a "Native American". I tried to find out what tribe she may have belonged to so that I could be specific, but could find no reference to the marriage at all. If someone can find a reference for this, it should be reinstated with a specific tribal identity.

"The Dutch coloniser recognized red slavery"

What kind of a sentence is that?!? Also, a lot of the article is 'wordy' or conversational, like it was cribbed from a book. Does not sound encyclopedic.

Cover photo

I think a photo at the Olympic Games carrying the Aruba flag during the ceremony would fit well under the sports section. Avaborz (talk) 01:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
