Undue weight for Meganálisis polls

A lot of the article cites many polls by Meganálisis. A quick look at their Twitter account makes it very clear that they are highly partisan and do not hide their support for the subject of this article, which is rather unusual for a polling firm. This is perhaps not the biggest issue with an article that is used by many as a platform for US-backed regime change propaganda, but still worth doing something about. --90.156.104.160 (talk) 05:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other pollsters have been quoted and no references have been provided reporting this bias. However, a footnote could be included. --Jamez42 (talk) 05:45, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Other surveys, including one in Colombia (and I recently came across one in Uruguay even) are showing the same thing. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:31, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Main image

Allright, the main image keeps changing: let's decide. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which image do you prefer?
Please specify Option A, B, C (UPDATED to include both ORIGINAL and ALTERNATE), or D below the gallery.

Discussion

  • I updated the gallery per comments below, and I still prefer Option B.

    Option C (ORIGINAL) is dark, dreary, in the shadows, makes him look just plain creepy. Also, portraits are all about the eyes, and the washed out eyes in Option C are what make him appear somewhat sketchy.

    Option C (ALTERNATE) looks waxy and artificial.

    Option B shows more character. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:46, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Didn't notice this was here before I changed it, but I had to fix the wax figure of C - the original version of that photo is up now, looking more lifelike, and is what I'd vote for. Sorry, continue. Kingsif (talk) 08:08, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't put in a vote, but that would be it. B is close, but the slightly tilted head and closed expression almost make him look like he's hiding being drunk from his parents, he looks less of a professional guy in it for me. Kingsif (talk) 15:54, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm striking my comment for the same reasons as Oscar, although I too would like to bring attention to the original C. --Jamez42 (talk) 11:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm biased with this, that why I'm not voting, but please take a moment to consider the original C (Here), since it was a bit of a nightmare to upload the photo. Some user already tried to correct some of the shadows. --Oscar_. (talk) 09:04, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are (including the separate file) 5 versions of that image, but I think the second version of the original is best, after that @Wilfredor: is just washing out features and making him look unreal (no offence intended, I love his work as ThePhotographer, but there's no quality improvements after the first clean). If it were restored to this version (18:56, 23 March 2019) would people prefer it? Kingsif (talk) 09:11, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Are there any photos of him that make his eyes look a bit more normal?

New article

This article was just created: Fabiana Rosales.--MaoGo (talk) 12:53, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MaoGo: nice job in keeping that article in order! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:50, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dismissal

Hi

I think we should add a footnote about his dismissal by Maduro. --Panam2014 (talk) 19:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He wasn't dismissed, but rather inhabilitated by the Auditor general named by the Constituent Assembly. Guaidó responded saying that the auditor, Elvis Amoroso, is as illegitimate as the Constituent Assembly. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:52, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also according to some experts, the Auditor is an administrative body, not a judiciary one. The auditor does not have the power to rule unfit any deputy . Let us keep this in mind when writing that piece: El Nacional.--MaoGo (talk) 22:57, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fire squad

Can this go anywhere? Miami Herald Members of the ANC called for "paredon" (firing squad) for Guaido during the immunity talks.--MaoGo (talk) 23:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that on Instagram-- quite horrific. Do they forget that Chavez, responsible for hundreds of deaths, was pardoned? I guess because it is quite sensationalist, we should get consensus to add it, and if people agree, it can be added under Further threats? Miami Herald is paywalled for me ... will watch for it on other sources. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:21, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a BBC piece on the ANC reactions: [1] That treats it more lightly.--MaoGo (talk) 09:24, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And it's all over the news today, so I will go ahead and add something (I was reluctant earlier as few sources had picked it up). [2] [3] [4] Translation at CC SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:28, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
