with regard to your claim: I am neither a Chavista or a Comunista or a Pendejo. Perhaps you are projecting.
With regard to the Bolivar article If there is to be an entire section on the African ancestry claim then it would only be fair to add a section on Bolivar and the many bizarre theories that he was a homosexual as well as the claim that he fathered several bastard children ad well as the claim that he died of AIDS as well as the claim (now put forward by Hugo Chavez) that he was assassinated by the imperialist Yankees. It would only be fair. ALL of these claims, as outlandish, quasi-historical, and referenced as they are would merit inclusion.
Why not just leave a nice article to allow people to learn more about this man than weighting the article to favor one or another bizarre claim and its adherents. The biographies of Bolivar are in the hundreds. The number of actual trained historians with an ublemished track record: Mijares, Masur, Salcedo-Bastardo, Ludwig--never claimed any of these bizarre theories. Imagine for one instant that every imaginable theory about John F. Kennedy was included in the article: it would make established and undisputed historical elements trivial by giving equal weight and space to those who can come up with a written reference. If you wish to create a NEW entry with your bizarre claim (or your view that Chavez is the second coming of Bolivar) then do so in a SEPARATE article. Or, let's be fair and put every Tom, Dick, and Harry's theory (whether by a fiction writer like Gabriel Garcia Marquez or by an unknown op-ed writer in some dinky local newspaper in Uruguay).
