History
In August 2008, a group of Venezuelan activists presented the Wikipedia and Wiktionary projects in Wayuu to the language committee of the Wikimedia Foundation. Both projects were approved and entered the Wikimedia Incubator.{{Cite web |last=leonfd1992 |first= |date=2023-05-31 |title=Wikipeetia süka wayuunaiki, un repositorio del conocimiento wayuu |url=https://diff.wikimedia.org/es/2023/05/31/wikipeetia-suka-wayuunaiki-un-repositorio-del-conocimiento-wayuu/ |access-date=2023-05-31 |website=Diff |language=es-ES}}
