From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is a response to BrendonTheWizard table, here I have only included the sources listed as using "clashes", "clashes and uprising" or "uprising but changed to clashes", to describe the event:

  • ABC news Venezuela rocked by clashes as US backs uprising, threatens Cuba the event is the uprising, the clashes is a development during that day.
  • Al Jazeera, I have provided sources [1][2] that use uprising (sometimes without the word clashes) but BrendonTheWizard has not updated his table.
  • AP News "intense clashes raged between protesters" also see title of the article Venezuelans take to streets as uprising attempt sputters "López had been under house arrest, but was apparently freed by mutinous soldiers Tuesday and appeared with opposition leader Juan Guaidó as he called for a military uprising against President Nicolás Maduro. That set off clashes between security forces and protesters, but the military has largely stuck with Maduro." "Arreaza says the uprising will soon be contained." [3] Again clashes is an event of the day, they even attribute the name of the event to Arreaza (pro-Maduro).
  • BBC ok, a month later is calling it uprising Venezuela crisis: What happened to uprising against Maduro?
  • CBC you claim that they changed the clashes, but a few days later they still used uprising (and clashes) [4]
  • CNN ok articles with uprising and clashes, and articles with only uprising. Are there articles using clashes without uprising?
  • Daily Telegraph, again you said they changed name (in an article that uses clashes and uprising) [5] but a more recent article show they use uprising without using "clashes" [6]
  • Euronews, used clashes and uprising, when referring to the event in recent news they summarize with uprising [7]
  • France24 is also using uprising in recent articles [8].
  • Global News ok, sometimes does not use clashes [9]
  • Hareetz, not mention of clashes in the link you say does [10], other articles use clashes amid the uprising attempt
  • The Independent is not using clashes to describe the whole event, only for this: "El Mundo newspaper has obtained footage of clashes" [11], while using uprising to describe the whole event multiple times "Venezuela's government has depicted the attempted uprising as a small coup attempt by military "traitors" working with right-wing opponents." "Russian president Vladimir Putin has discussed the ongoing military uprising in Venezuela "
  • Japan Times, kind of ok but again other articles use uprising [12].
  • National post, ok.
  • National Public Radio definitely uses uprising in that article. But if that's not enough they changed to uprising (without clashes) [13]
  • The New Republic is a journal of opinion that takes political position, but again uprising is used and the phrase says "the day quickly dissolved into clashes" seems more like a development during the day.
  • The New York times , this one [14] does not use clashes as stated in the table, it should be pink in the table, a month later it is using uprising [15].
  • NBC news uses uprising in this article about the event [16] that does not include the word "clashes", also it is more recent
  • USA Today, ok, as stated in the table, clashes used to describe photos
  • Foreign sources use translations of the word uprising: alzamiento, levantamiento, soulèvement, Aufstand, ...
  • Adding The New Yorker, uses uprising [17] not clashes.

Takeaways: As seen here, the interpretation that there is a widespread use of clashes over uprising is not as clear as some wish to portrait it. Per WP:Title (and WP:V) the best is to stick to "uprising" (possible adjectives can be added to make the title more clear like attempt or military), because in this way the article will follow the following points: (1) it is easily recognizable per sources (some sources uses clashes and uprising, some uprising alone, but few, if any, use clashes alone) (2) We have to give more force to sources written some time after the event [18][19][20][21][22][23] per WP:NAMECHANGES (3) per WP:TITLECHANGES even if the name is not "morally right" (this is not well defined in the guideline) it does not merit to change as it is still widely recognized as such.

Remember that my list is also neither considering high quality sources like Reuters, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and The Economist, that write uprising alone, nor several important others from different countries like The Guardian, El País (English) and Australian Broadcasting Network.
