"Most nations ... recognize Maduro"
... is uncited in the article, and original research, yet added to the lead. Please read WP:LEAD (leads summarize info already in the body of the article). If there is a cite supporting that "most nations ... recognize Maduro", that should be incorporated into the body of the article. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  05:42, 19 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Many nations made no statement regarding the crisis or who is the legitimate president of Venezuela whatsoever. 2A02:AB04:2AB:700:A5E8:1A3A:FCE4:438F (talk) 16:19, 19 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I believe this is an issue that has been discussed several times in the talk page, particularly at the start of the crisis, and that can be consulted in the archive. The current lead should stay. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

"Disputed acting president of Venezuela"
The article is still sticking with this terminology in November 2022? When the consensus, on this talk page and across the world, is that he is NOT acting president of any country? It's not "disputed" anymore, the term is "claimed" acting president. He is a claimant to the position. He has never had the position, he has never wielded its power in any meaningful way for any time. He has not relinquished his claim, sure, but that does not make it "disputed" after this much time, it simply means one person "claims" it and one person HAS it. The House of Stuart are not the "disputed" Kings of England, they are the CLAIMED Kings of England. Donald Trump is not the "disputed" President-elect of 2020, he is the CLAIMED President-elect. I do not see Wikipedia making such mistakes elsewhere. But these anomalies in Juan Guaidó's article make Wikipedia look biased and ridiculous. --VolatileChemical (talk) 01:17, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I think rather than this extraneous stuff, you should make the edit you think is appropriate. I agree generally, but best to see this in the context of specific edits. JArthur1984 (talk) 14:00, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Why bother? it's very important to the US government that the pro-american politican is leader of that counntry and the media follows it. And wikipedia follows western media. but he was president according to who? the US constantly does this with a very long history of supporting coups against anti-american/leftist leaders in latin america to secure resources. they support the guy who is very pro-american and right wing and the media follows the US coup claims as if they are the leaders of that country. But they are not. And at best, he claimed to be the president and never held to position as the official president. unless wikipedia is dictated by the us government, this article is ridiculous and blatantly supporting US long history of coups49.180.211.220 (talk) 05:03, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

What WP:RS were you relying on when you made this edit? I suggest you look over Talk:Juan_Guaid%C3%B3/Archive_5 and more recent WP:RS like this. --David Tornheim (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

This fawning article...
...is another embarrassing illustration of how Wikipedia is nothing more than a soapbox for neocon propaganda. 2600:1700:3190:9020:903E:9C5B:1EF9:ACA1 (talk) 15:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you be more specific about what problems you see? Most of what it says is attributed; it's fine to attribute statements about him as long as they're due (and the things people say about him are often relevant.) I've cleaned up some bits of non-neutral language in the article voice, anyway. --Aquillion (talk) 21:20, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Political party
Is Guaidó back to Voluntad Popular? Should the article be updated to reflect that? ReyHahn (talk) 09:28, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That's a good question, I have no idea. From what I gather he has not held any related position since his exile, but the article can be upted if related information is found. --NoonIcarus (talk) 21:48, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I asked this because Guaidó is listed as VP in Next Venezuelan presidential election.--ReyHahn (talk) 21:53, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Hetland
, I agree with that Hetland is from a reputable publisher, and the viewpoint is not a marginal or UNDUE one. Maybe you have more information related to why you have tagged it UNDUE? Sandy Georgia (Talk)  13:56, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
