[edit] Expand bio

Can someone expand the bio ? http://www.gobernaciondelzulia.gov.ve/lista2.asp?sec=1103 Sandy 12:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Resolve ?? his bio says seven children, but LA Times says eight children. Sandy 18:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

On his campaign website it says eight. That is more then good for me.

[edit] Something about parasites

I'm removing this insertion to talk page for deciphering:

Venezuelan State Television presented a video of a news show in Miami^[1] where Rosales referred to 33% of Venezuelans or "chabecitos" as parasites living off government subsidies. A statement he flatly denied, stating he had never offended a single venezuelan.^[2]

The first problem is that I'm not sure what it's saying in English; the second problem is that it relies only on biased sources. Are there any unbiased, reliable sources, which discuss this issue, hopefully in English, so it can be deciphered? (new account ---->) SandyG 16:54, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

What policy are you citing for deletion? the source is what it is a reliable source with video evidence of him calling chavistas parasites, I will see if I can spruce up the prose.Flanker 21:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Here's a secondary RS[1] JRSP 23:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thansk, JRSP - I'm going to be traveling, when I return, I'll read that and see if I can figure out what the passage is trying to say, since I still can't decipher it in English. SandyG 20:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I read the new (Miami Herald) source while traveling - not sure how to help here because, as noted by Enano275, the old references are dead (I never got to read them, as I was waiting for a reliable verification), and the Miami Herald source doesn't support the text (subsequently removed by Enano275). I have a very slow connection - maybe someone can find a new source? Has anyone searched El Universal ? SandyG 01:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A New Era (Un Nuevo Tiempo)

The actual name of the political party is Un Nuevo Tiempo. Shouldn't the english translation be inside the paranthesis instead of the original name? I also corrected the spelling of Misiones. (72.181.194.88 22:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC))
