Talk:Attack on Richard Nixon's motorcade

Neutrality: Communism and post-Pérez Jiménez
This comment might be a little late for the good article review, but since the article has now been assessed, I wanted to leave some thoughts for editors that might want to improve it in the future. I'm worried that there's an undue weight given to the Venezuelan Communist Party's involvement and responsability of the motorcade's attack. Since I started editing the article, I have tried to show other background factors, including dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez's award of the Legion of Merit, his grant of asylum and his overthrow just months before Nixon's visit. (previous version - current version - diff). I feel there's also a prominent inclusion of the American point of view, including Nixon's and other high ranking officials, but that the Venezuelan perspectives or sources could be improved. This could be resolved including Spanish or sources from Venezuelan, but I understand that the language barrier might be an obstacle.

The public domain in Venezuela includes works that have been published more than 60 years ago, which means additional information could be more easily available. I'm all ears to any way that I can help. Best wishes--Jamez42 (talk) 01:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I think that is less a neutrality issue than perhaps some due weight. Though, most sources I could find were American, and from high-ranking American reports of it (including Nixon's), they make it sound like a very US topic. If you can find sources relating to it from the Venezuelan side, and the view of it for Venezuela, it would be great if we could incorporate them. Kingsif (talk) 13:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * My best guess would be that there might be a good find in Google Books. I was able to include more details from Nixon's "Six Crises", but as you may imagine it doesn't help expanding the Venezuelan background. The last book that I saw that mentioned the incident was Historieta de Venezuela: De Macuro a Maduro (ISBN 9781732877702), by Laureano Márquez, but it is a more referential book. I'll provide more sources as soon as I find some. --Jamez42 (talk) 14:18, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Should Government of Venezuela be 3rd party?
Saying the Government of Venezuela was one of the parties involved makes it seem like they were against all other parties. While reading this is makes it seem that they either helped the motorcade escape or didn't help. I found this video from the event but that did not help Can someone please clarify what the Government of Venezuela 's role was? LuxembourgLover (talk) 21:47, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
