[edit] A note to Wikipedia Admins

Gentlemen (& Ladies): in this article there are contradicting Wikipedia policies.

First, one of you inserted the "bias" tag. Namely:

"This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality."

Obviously, this article (as of Jan. 2, 2007) is heavily biased in favor of an ill-fated, infamous president who ruled Venezuela during a period marked by abundance, but also by runaway corruption, erroneous policies, gross ineptitude, public funds mismanagement, populism, scandals and blunders on the part of politicians in office, human rights violations, and the rest of the full spectrum of typical vices that have plaged Venezuela (and most of other Latin American countries) for too many years.

But then, after looking at the intimidating warning posted above in this very Talk Page, many an editor, despite potentially having much information to add to this article, will be easily discouraged:

"Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous."

WOW! Anything that anyone might wish to write against Mr. Pérez, probably the worst president that Venezuela had during its Democracy years, would fall in such dangerous terrain. No wonder nobody has dared, yet.

Do you see the point? How to disentangle this gordian knot? To edit, or not to edit?

and calling ill-fated, corrupt and populist is not biased?

Obviously you are not an Administrator, otherwise you would have the good manners to sign your post. Nonetheless, the answer is no, it is not biased. It is just fact. I know, because I live in Venezuela. Do you? --AVM 19:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I do (althought I am not the one to whom that question was directed to). And I think your view is very biased. So there you have it. BTW, living or not has nothing to do with how biased one's statements are. IMO the acurrent clown is worse than the one this article addresses.Anagnorisis 03
