This article needs to become more neutral. It is customary for Chavez-supporters to call anyone not supporting their leader 'liberals' or 'supporters of liberalism'. One would need first to clarify what 'liberalism' means for these people. --- AndresDominguez

BTW, a common misperception by Americans is that "catire" is, essentially, the Venezuelan analogue for "white boy." In fact, a catire (or catira) is anyone with blond hair (and often blue or light colored eyes), fair-skinned and yes, usually of European descendancy. Light skin tone alone, however, does not classify one as catire. Moreover, the term catire does not carry the same connotations that does "white boy" in the US (or "white girl", for that). In fact, Venezuelans take to addressing relatives and close friends, but also strangers, according to their perceived phenotype. These addresses are generally used in an endearing, and certainly casual way. Alexescalona 17:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mas1983-teodoropetkoff.jpg

Image:Mas1983-teodoropetkoff.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
