• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Hello, I'm CycloneYoris. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Parting Glass, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

You probably noticed my fix at the CNE article. You're right that the Venezuelan government/politics related articles do need a lot of cleaning up, but in fact I was glad to see that they're not quite as bad as I feared. Info on the five-branch structure of government is on the constitution page, and is now (slightly) clearer on the government page - uncontroversial but unsourced.

There are plenty of questions worth documenting per WP:RS if you're interested (questions that pop up in my head): what do researchers say about whether the "five branches" were really or still are (as of mid 2024 prior to the 28 July presidential election) independent checks and balances on one another? were they fully independent in the first years of Chavez and then they became too intermeshed? was there difficulty creating them and making them independent from one another due to institutional inertia and US interference? what changes happened to the five branches in relation to being independent checks and balances during the Maduro period?

The POVs of Chavez/Maduro supporters, Venezuelan opposition groups, and US pro-military-industrial-complex thinktanks are, of course, valid POVs if attributed, and the findings of researchers are probably not completely neutral either. Though I do think that a mix of academic research, especially from a mix of research institutes from around Latin America, would give something fairly close to useful knowledge.

For finding sources, I recommend any SearXNG instance, e.g. choose one at https://searx.space and then use the "Science" section - this means "Science" in the broad sense of scholarly research. This decentralisation would avoid the problems of Google.

Feel free to copy/paste this to a talk page of one of the relevant article talk pages if you think that's useful - I'm just thinking off the top of my head - I'm probably not going to do any of the above myself. Yours troutfully. ;) Boud (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240906003500","author":"Boud","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Boud-20240906003500-VE_governmental_pages","replies":[]}}-->
