Change {Navy|Venezuela} and {Army|Venezuela}

[edit]

Well, the editors said that this was a controversial edits, so how it's necessary a consensus to make this edit and i came here to show it. [1]

The first one is the Army flag: i made a svg based in an article in the army site talking about the flag: Flag: [2] Source: [3]

The second one is the Navy flag: i think is a good idea we change the {Navy|Venezuela} template because it uses the naval ensing and not the navy flag. Flag: [4] Source: [5] Felipe Fidelis Tobias (talk) 20:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Reliable sources are needed to make this edit. Thus far, both Maduro and the opposition have declared election victory, and we will not call the election here on WIkipedia. General Ization Talk 00:50, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Currently Edmundo Gonzalez Urritia is listed as President on the Article. Please fix that, because no matter who the election winner is, the inauguration takes place on the 10th January of 2025 which makes Maduro the President of Venezuela until that date.
2024 Venezuelan presidential election#:~:text=Presidential elections were held in Venezuela on 28 July 2024 to choose a president for a six-year term beginning on 10 January 2025. Rick Lock History (talk) 20:26, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Including 2024 election info in lede

[edit]

@Dustfreeworld

Per WP:LEDE,

As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs

Furthermore, The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article - the 2024 election, while independently notable and sufficiently covered in its own article, does not belong in the lede. It should belong under the section on President Maduro. I don't believe that WP:PRESERVE is sufficient justification for keeping the election info in the lede as you have done.

@User:That Coptic Guy
Thank you for the ping. I’ve edited the lead section per your advice. It’s four paragraphs now.
I agree with you that “The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article”, and that’s why the election is now mentioned in the lead. I’ve also mentioned that in my previous edit summary (per WP:SS [6]). And I agree with your addition of content to the Maduro section. Thanks. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 14:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The ‘president of Venezuela’ needs to be amended to show ‘Edmundo Gonzalez’. Sources can be found online and he has been recognised globally as the new president. Thank you! 2.97.11.214 (talk) 07:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Venezuela

[edit]

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 Venezuela'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.

Reference named "reuters29jul":

  • From 2024 Venezuelan presidential election: "Leaders across Americas react to Venezuela election results". Reuters. Retrieved 29 July 2024.
  • From International reactions to the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election: "Leaders across Americas react to Venezuela election results". Reuters. 29 July 2024. Retrieved 29 July 2024.

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. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 17:01, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
