On 5 May 2010, an editor made a considerable expansion in userspace of the article as it then stood. That revision is now at User:Arne09.snap/sandbox. Please would any interested editors assess whether any of that work is usable, and if so incorporate it into this article? Please leave a response here either way. – Fayenatic London 22:47, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
The Orinoco Mining Arc (AMO),[1] officially created on February 24, 2016 as the Arco Mining Orinoco National Strategic Development Zone, is an area rich in mineral resources that the Republic of Venezuela has been operating since 2017; occupies mostly the north of the Bolivar state and to a lesser extent the northeast of the Amazonas state and part of the Delta Amacuro state. It has 7,000 tons of reserves of gold, copper, diamond, coltan, iron, bauxite and other minerals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:586:4280:480:847A:3260:97AA:2267 (talk) 22:29, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of El Dorado's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:32, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Greetings fellow Wikipedians!
I am of the impression that, while the legend of el dorado may have had its roots in a more specific personage rather than an entire civilisation, the concept of ‘el dorado’, both historically and in modern times, has come to denote the civilisation rather than the mythical figure the legend may have its roots in.
May I therefore suggest that an editor much more qualified than myself in the topic re-structures the intro section to fit this understanding(while still acknowledging its (potential) roots), as this would make the article much more relevant and comprehensible to the reader who is new to the subject?
