idk I feel like if I was in their situation I would have left Bolivia for Miami the second any election results came out.

they thought they'd get the juan guaido treatment, where he's running around spending us state department money on whatever and maduro doesn't dare (or care to) touch him, but obviously MAS decided to play hardball
i don't know how this will go, they were never gonna get the approval (or at least neutrality) of the turdbrains in "human rights" orgs anyway but what if this becomes a rallying cry for every lib idiot in the west

Somebody tried removing the Bloomberg article about Article 233 as "undue weight" to this article while adding this other stuff. I reverted the removal of content. "Undue weight" is Wikipedia talk for "because I said so". As long as they are going to bring in protests, I want to bring in https://therealnews.com/evenly-matched-pro-and-anti-government-marches-in-venezuela which will take longer, and I probably won't get around to it. The user spent ten whole hours editing Venezuela articles just yesterday, so this is going to be interesting

Here's another edit from the same user

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crisis_in_Venezuela&diff=prev&oldid=1011929917

citing https://www.venezuelablog.org/66-venezuelan-ngos-pen-open-letter-to-un-special-rapporteur-on-sanctions/ from the Washington Office on Latin America NGO

It seems to me that asking that sanctions that starve people be considered in light of how terrible a regime is is a non-sequitur. It's arguing that throwing gasoline on a fire can't be wrong given that it was already blazing

This change is very subtle, moving content without changing it so that it's in a different context, but I guess he thinks it's the best he can do. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it, but I won't fight it

That NoonIcarus dude (formerly "Jamez42") is one of the most dedicated Guaidó stans I have ever seen on wikipedia. He edits non stop and virtually all edits change the editorial stance to be pro-opposition/US and anti-government, including extremely petty poo poo like moving the list of pro-Guaidó statements above the list of pro-Maduro statements on the page with no reason given. I don't edit Venezuela stuff anymore because fighting him on talk pages was sucking up too much of my free time.

he probably gets paid to do it. There's no question the US/UK governments attempt to monitor and control what's on wikipedia. When anyone can edit it, it comes down to who's gonna put in the time, and people getting paid to do it will win that battle

quote:

In September and early October 2018, during the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court appointment hearings, Republican senators were doxxed by Congressional IP editors who inserted home addresses and phone numbers into Wikipedia articles. The private information was tweeted to the bot's approximately 65,000 followers before it was removed from the articles.[25] Following additional doxxing by Congressional IP editors, Twitter suspended the account.[26]


the problem was clearly the twitter account, and not the very purposeful anonymous address edits that were done to get the account shut down
