Talk:Siege of the Argentine Ambassador's residence in Venezuela

The article is quite short

I have noticed that the article and the two stand-offs that occurred are short, even though the tensions between Caracas and Buenos Aires, amongst other nations, are clearly notable. I have two possible options:

1. Expand the article
2. Merge the article to 2024 Venezuelan political crisis or Argentina–Venezuela relations

Opinions and suggestions for spelling corrections to my post, please. --Minoa (talk) 20:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Minoa, regarding the "quite short", please see the Spanish Wikipedia article, which is as unhelpful as this one, albeit longer. User:Europeismo's good faith effort to translate an article falls short for several reasons:

1. Policies and guidelines at es.wiki are considerably more lax at es.wikipedia than en.wikipedia, and bringing over a poor article like this typically creates problems that take longer to solve than the original translation did.
2. The content, when/if properly written, fits at and is mostly already covered here at 2024 Venezuelan political crisis#Diplomatic and commercial relations. That section needs about a two-sentence update, which I haven't gotten to yet, to provide DUE WEIGHT to this topic. Once that content is updated, it could also find a home at Argentina-Venezuela relations.
3. Both the es.wikipedia and the en.wikipedia are wrong; the seige and the asylum seekers are at the Argentine ambassador's residence, not the embassy itself. That is abundantly clear from the images, which are also mislabeled as the Embassy when it's the Residence. The Argentine embassy is an office in Torre Kepler in Centro San Ignacio in La Castellana. The ambassador's residence is where the asylum seekers are hosted, and where the Maduro administration forces have employed the tactics described. It doesn't matter how many uninformed news headlines describe it as the embassy, it's the ambassador's residence which is different from the embassy itself, and most of the sources (although not all) do point that out in the body of their articles, even if the clickbait headlines are wrong.

Europeismo please don't translate articles from es.wiki to en.wiki if you can't be sure of their integrity: here is one source that explains the difference between the embassy and the residence.

Considering the errors in the article, I suggest that a {{prod}} is the fastest way to get this whole matter corrected, and any salvageable update can be added to the content at 2024 Venezuelan political crisis and Argentina-Venezuela relations. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
