Hugo Chavez' influences
In the paragraph about the late Chavez' political influences, the text states that he was "also influenced by Cuban Communist revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevara." I don't doubt that Castro and Guevara influenced Chavez in some respects, but Ernesto "Che" Guevara was an Argentine, not a Cuban. Of course, he is best known for his participation in the Cuban revolution, but he was born a citizen of Argentina. I mention this because the label "Cuban Communist" seems to carry some heavy connotations, and maybe it's better not to paint someone with that brush if it doesn't factually apply. Thank you. 169.156.29.208 (talk) 18:59, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Good point. I have removed the word "Cuban". Burrobert (talk) 03:15, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Mausoleum of Hugo Chavez in Caracas targeted in US strike
This should probally be added once more information about it has come out.

Maduro deposition clarification
For the following paragraph I'd suggest a slight rewording:
"Due to the death of Chávez, Vice President Nicolás Maduro took over the presidential powers and duties for the remainder of Chávez's abbreviated term until presidential elections were held. Venezuela's constitution specifies that the speaker of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, should assume the interim presidency if a president cannot be sworn in. Maduro remained in power as president until being deposed in 2026."
I think as written, if I read that a dictator has been deposed, I would assume it was by the citizens/military of that country. It would avoid confusion and aid clarity to change to "deposed by the US in 2026". ~2025-34354-47 (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
