[edit] 3.2 trillion barrels of oil reserves
Basically, this figure should be contextualized. Proven reserves would be a much more appropriate figure to display instead (some 77.8 barrels, i think... if you include heavy oil you'd bring it up to some 310billion). The above figure really doesn't mean anything as of now. In fact, that figure creates the appearance that Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia, which is doesn't. " Venezuela has 3.2 trillion barrels of oil reserves, according to PDVSA figures, the largest in the Western Hemisphere and making up approximately half the total. This puts Venezuela as fifth in the world in proven reserves of conventional oil." --Patpecz 20:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ILO
In the article: "The International Labour Organization (ILO) sentenced that those employees must be reinstated in their jobs." In English, "sentenced" is not possible in this context: it means specifically the imposition of a punishment. I'm guessing that this is in the sense of the Spanish sentencia (English: "verdict" or, if an administrative rather than judicial context, "ruling"), but even so I'm not sure what it means to say. Was this a judicial hearing? Did Venezuela recognize the authority of the ILO in this matter? When exactly was this verdict/ruling made? As it stands, it's very confusing, it only hints at something. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

- I searched the entire UN site, and can find no trace of this. The ILO has "conventions," and "recomendations," and can "voice concerns," but as far as I know, it is not a judicial body, it does not make judgements or impose sentences. I am editing this entry with the one citation that I could find. --VonWoland 06:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pdvsa.png
Image:Pdvsa.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
