Of riothero.com?
Wondering if you are the author of RiotHero.com. I read and linked to you actively back in the 2000-01 range of Blogger, and ever since you stopped blogging regularly I've always been interested to know what you wound up doing for college/career. Best, krisispm
- I was also wondering the same thing as well since Riothero.com is "a venezuela blog from a leftist perspective sympathetic to chavismo and the bolivarian revolution".--Zfigueroa (talk) 01:20, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
2014 Venezuelan Protests infobox
I was wondering if you could look at the changes I made to the info box on the article and see if it's better. I showed sources for the causes of the protests and updated a few things. --Zfigueroa (talk) 01:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Colectivos
I could use your help with the Colectivo (Venezuela) article. I really did not mean it to be loaded I just found sources and tried to create an article since the term is becoming more popular. I know how they do community programs and such but I could not find more information. I will be working on it soon.--Zfigueroa (talk) 17:42, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
Photos
They need to provide licenses. I know most of VA's work is "non-deriv" which is not allowed on Wikipedia. The photos don't have license info near them as well. It is practically taking someone's work if you don't provide a license. If you can provide a license for you then it can stay.--Zfigueroa (talk) 18:46, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- I know that they have given you permission but there has to be a license. Take a look at this. On the right hand side (I'm not sure if it's the same for you) it says some rights reserved. If you click on it it will provide licensing information. That's what you need for it to be on Wikipedia. I had the same thing happen to me with photos of hospitals. I had the authors permission, but all of my photos were deleted from Wikimedia due to the lack of a license.
- Wikipedia primarily uses attribution or Share alike for photos. Here is something that may help you out. If you can get in touch with the authors and they can place the photos on Flickr under attribution, things will be easier. Just send me a message on my talk page and I can do it for you if you need help too.--Zfigueroa (talk) 19:08, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 Venezuelan protests, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page El Mundo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bolivarian propaganda
For the photo, I saw the similarity of propaganda's definition according to WP that "Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position." I.E. Uncle Sam "I choose you!" etc. Essentially, most election campaigns use propaganda. Like Obama's "Hope" or any other political add accusing opponents. The point I'm trying to make is that I wanted to give one example of propaganda in a visual form to readers. If this is not suitable, I can find other pictures of Chavez depicted majestically in art. It may not be exclusively from the Venezuelan government, but it would be Bolivarian propaganda in the sense that it is "aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some cause or position".
I won't add the picture back I just wanted you to know my reason. I'm really not biased against the Bolivarian movement or anything. I just gained interest and put in what I see in my news feed. Will it need cleaning up in the future? Possibly. I just knew that my edits would draw one of you guys into the article lol. Nothing against it though, we're all trying to make stuff as accurate as possible.--Zfigueroa (talk) 17:19, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.176.166 (talk) 21:44, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the warning. I mistakenly assumed that the three-revert rule applied only to the same content/material, not the same page (where you appear also to have made three or more reverts within the past 24 hours). I assume you are editing in good faith. Let's take our dispute to the talk page.
"Bolivarian propaganda" article
Hello! As you've been editing Venezuela articles recently, can you please add your opinion to Talk:Bolivarian propaganda#Delete? (and watch the page?) I'm asking editors of Venezuela-related articles to put their view in as that article seems to have little traffic and we need consensus. Zozs (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I've nominated the article for deletion, please specify your opinion there. Zozs (talk) 02:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
"Bolivarian propaganda" - Move
Please participate in this discussion: Talk:Bolivarian propaganda#Move. Zozs (talk) 04:03, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
- You have been warned about canvassing, Zozs. Stop that now. bobrayner (talk) 13:03, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Edit War
I see you were in previous edit wars. Please don't do this with me. I will provide sources, just put your concerns on my talk page.--Zfigueroa (talk) 12:08, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
