Talk:Early life of Hugo Chávez/Archive 1

message: I think that this article and Life of Hugo Chávez (1975 – 1992) should probably be merged.--nixie 03:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion. I just merged them into this article and put a redirect (to here) in the Life of Hugo Chávez (1975 – 1992). I also merged these topics in the Hugo Chavez article. Saravask 03:44, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. It should save you some time, as there are now fewer related articles to maintain.--nixie 03:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Re-add these as soon as a source exists to cite this: "His father was at the time an admirer of Rafael Caldera, founder of opposition party COPEI, hence the middle name Rafael." -Silence 16:10, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

::Woah. We're already discussing how the article would look on the main page? Considering that the article Hugo Chavez itself will be on the main page within days, I'd expect it to be at least a year or two before this could be main-paged. -Silence 06:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: *Not only is that a huge exaggeration, but Belarus is a country. Hugo Chavez is a person. To argue that the former is the same as the latter is like arguing that regularly featuring articles that deal with the United States of America is the same as regularly featuring articles that deal with Michael Jackson. The chief point of featuring articles on the main page is to show off high-quality articles that many people would normally not see otherwise; having two articles on a single person appear, especially when the first one links to the second one near the top of its page almost immediately, would be beyond redundant. Heck, even if this article is featured, it may never appear on the main page, it's such a clear subdivision of Chavez himself. My suggestion that it could appear on the main page in a couple of years was an extremely optimistic one. If you successfully get this FAd, you should be happy to have done such an amazing job on two articles and to have your great work recognized, and you should possibly consider trying to get the entire Hugo Chavez series of articles to "featured topic" (a new type of Featured) standard; you shouldn't assume that you'll get it on the main page, when so many other FAs are being made every few days and so many perfectly good FAs have been around for years without appearing on the main page. -Silence 16:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I need inforamtion about Chavez's early life and personal life (Not dirt: just dates and a few telling details for a young adult book about him) and can't manage the Spanish book that seems best. Can someone help??

:*Yes, hello. There are many, many references (both online and printed, in English and Spanish) detailed in the "References" section. There are many excellent sources among them. Regards, Saravask 20:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
