Venezuela[edit]

Adding to the talk page to be clear on this and avoid citing multiple sources unnecessarily in the article itself. Venezuela's participation as an ILRS partner is supported not only by two tweets from the Venezuelan Minister of Science and Technology but also by a CNSA release, TASS (Russian state media), and the very same news outlet (Space News) and author (Andrew Jones) who's older article was cited as the reason for deleting Venezuela from the list of participants.

Here is a link to his latest article on the matter, which begins "Venezuela has formally joined the China-led International Lunar Research Station project."

Here is a link to China's Global Times report, which itself cites both Minister Jimenez and CNSA's official release.

Hoping to avoid a so called "edit war" over this, so figured I'd make it clear why I made the reversion and re-added Venezuela to the participant list. Chancellor1 (talk) 11:11, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
