Discrepancy between infobox and religion section
The infobox provides percentages for religion that are as recent as 2020, whereas the section in the article on religion cites a source from 2011. There is a significant difference in the numbers (e.g. 92% Christian in 2020 vs 88% Christian in 2011) and the article should be updated to reflect that.

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

- 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)
Including 2024 election info in lede
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. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 13:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- @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). And I agree with your addition of content to the Maduro section. Thanks. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 14:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
