This page, if done well, would seem to duplicate a lot of the material from Hugo Chávez. Utlimately, I think the material would be better placed here, where, for example, it would last if the programs last but Chávez doesn't, or just because Chávez probably isn't personally involved in the development of each mission.

[edit] Formatting
I removed the "div" tags. If you want text to be 100% and justified, please either add it to your personal stylesheet, or lobby to have it included in the standard stylesheet. If we add "div" tags to every article, we'll have a hard time making system-wide changes. Peace! DanKeshet 15:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
I strongly believe the facts and opinions expressed in this article and the other articles regarding the "Bolivarian missions" are biased in favor of Chavez, there is no mention of the criticism about the actual efectiveness of these policies and there is no mention of the massive blackmailing involved in them, i.e. if you signed the petition for Chavez's recall referendum there is no way you will get any benefit from these. I would like if someone takes the time and add more objective information (perhaps I will do it myself later) Nelliug 9:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC-5)
- I've just noticed this, will add an unbalanced tag, and will be working on adding the criticisms to the article.
- There is another glaring problem with the graphic, made by Saravask, to illustrate unemployment. It utilizes a common means of over-emphasizing statistical data. By using a graph which starts at 10% (rather than at 0), swings in unemployment are over-emphasized, and the impression is given of dramatic shifts. The graph should be eliminated, or redone to illustrate a better scale.
- We also need to have someone run a bot to convert the old referencing style, so the article will be easier to work on. Sandy 12:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sync the template with the article
The Bolivarian Missions template does not agree with the article.
- For consistency, they should be in the same order
- The template does not include Florentino, Arbol, and Ciencia
- The article does not include Plan Bolivar 2000 and Piar

[edit] Criticism section
As the subheading of the section suggests, this isn't really criticism of the Bolivarian Missions, but of Chavez's policies more generally. Move elsewhere, if it isn't duplicated anyway. 86.53.55.135 09:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bypassing the public sector
From a news report, I was left with the impression that the Misiones are efforts to bypass the inherited public sector (probably he thinks it corrupt) with task forces derived from the military. Could you say that Chavez is building a parallel public sector? --84.20.17.84 12:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
