Edits to Hugo Chavez
Hola, Yewlongbow. Welcome to Wiki! I'm having a hard time sorting out some of the sections you added to the Chavez article, and others are inquiring about a reliable, referenced source for the racism statements. Even though we know something to be true, it can't really be added to an article without a reference. Hope you'll have a look at the talk page concerns here:.

I have answered your question about the Bisa people/Bissa people on the talk page for the article titled "Northern Province, Zambia"
Hi Yewlongbow - just to let you know, I posted an answer to your question about the Bisa of Zambia and the Bissa of West Africa. In short, they are two totally separate groups, but just happen to have similar names. Here's my posted answer in full:

"These are two distinct groups. There are the Bissa of West Africa and the Bisa of central/southern Africa. They speak totally different languages and have totally different histories. But their names look very similar! There are many cases of very different, separate, unrelated "ethnic groups" on the African continent that have similar names, or even the exact same names, so don't feel bad at having been confused! Indeed, in Africa often each "ethnic group" or "tribe" will have multiple names that refer to the same group, and these multiple names often are totally different from each other. (For example, you might come across a reference to the Luo people, who mostly reside in East Africa, in countries like Kenya and Tanzania, or the same Luo people might be referred to as Lwo, Jaluo, Joluo, Dholuo, or Kavirondo. All these names -- Luo, Lwo, Jaluo, Joluo, Dholuo, Kavirondo -- pretty much refer to the same group of people.) If you want to learn more, you could try looking at the website "Ethnologue," which tries to compile and list all the different names for the same linguistic groupings: that will confuse you for sure! Here are Ethnologue's "language family trees" for the Bisa of central/southern Africa (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=1059-16) and the Bissa of West Africa (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=491-16). As you will see, the two languages have very different linguistic roots." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.25.216.240 (talk) 23:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
