Copy edit needed

I started looking at this article, which doesn't seem to have maintained featured status. Here is an example of prose in need of attention: "In 1978, dressed in his army fatigues, Chávez met then-presidential candidate José Vicente Rangel (who is now Chávez's vice-president), and subsequently aided him in affixing election materials in Maracay. Chávez took a significant risk in doing so — had his superiors found out about such leftist political activities, he face expulsion from the military. Indeed, under Venezuelan law at the time, military officers and other personnel were forbidden to involve themselves in political affairs of any sort. Moreover, engaging in such illicit activities while dressed in fatigues or in uniform was punishable by even harsher penalties.^[1]" This appears to be a rough translation from Spanish, with English grammatical errors. I'm wondering if those who brought these article to FA don't want to keep an eye on them and make changes as needed, or if others should just edit out phrases which don't appear well-translated ?

Fair use rationale for Image:Chavezcoup.jpg

Image:Chavezcoup.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Hugo Chavez uniform.jpg

The image Image:Hugo Chavez uniform.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --16:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
