A recent article by Deutsche Welle (June) seems to address the lacks of news during the blackouts. [1] -- MaoGo ( talk) 23:16, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
A project to repair the electric grid with an UN commission and members of Guaidó and Maduro team has been announced [2]. To be updated soon. -- MaoGo ( talk) 11:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
I've tried to get editors to explain how we could possibly consider verifikado.com as reliable. After three weeks, I'm treating it as spam.

Verifikado is a fact checker"( [4]) and that "
the website is not a blog, a self-published reference or has any indications that suggest that it is unreliable, particularly without examples." [5] [6]). User SandyGeorgia has also commented this, pointing out at Verifikado's status as a fact checker and commenting on how she thinks that the source should be used ( [7]). The edit summaries of the restorations go into further details regarding this, and the complaint in the edit warring noticeboard reflects many of these things as well.
[the reliability] it has otherwise remained undisputed for years( WP:SILENT). Not only the cart is effectively being put before the horse, shifting where the onus lies, but the lack of explanations on the dispute of the reliability also makes it harder to offer satisfactory responses.
No examples or reasons have been given for the removal of otherwise referenced content( [8]);
When discussing the reliability of sources, what's common is to at least give examples on why it should be put into question.( [9]). Even the title of this comment, "verifikado.com appears unreliable and spam", suggests that this assessment is based on personal feelings rather than on policy.
@ WMrapids: Hi. I have reverted your last edit because it is synthesis and the primary source ( [10]) doesn't mention the 2019 blackouts, being published in 2010 ( Le Monde diplomatique's source [11] doesn't even mention Venezuela at all).
This addition only gives weight to the fringe theory that the opposition could be related to the blackouts, when experts already say that the causes were lack of maintenance and lack of technical expertise. Let me know your thoughts. Regards, NoonIcarus ( talk) 10:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
