[edit] Copy edit needed
I started looking at this article, which doesn't seem to have maintained featured status. Here is an example of prose in need of attention: "In 1978, dressed in his army fatigues, Chávez met then-presidential candidate José Vicente Rangel (who is now Chávez's vice-president), and subsequently aided him in affixing election materials in Maracay. Chávez took a significant risk in doing so — had his superiors found out about such leftist political activities, he face expulsion from the military. Indeed, under Venezuelan law at the time, military officers and other personnel were forbidden to involve themselves in political affairs of any sort. Moreover, engaging in such illicit activities while dressed in fatigues or in uniform was punishable by even harsher penalties.[1]" This appears to be a rough translation from Spanish, with English grammatical errors. I'm wondering if those who brought these article to FA don't want to keep an eye on them and make changes as needed, or if others should just edit out phrases which don't appear well-translated ?
