Well just to answer that particular mail by Galio (below) that bothered me:
As far as I see Dennis mail was only a call for help since in Venezuela
there is also a Chapter and also wikipedians in danger right now. He didn't
do in the most calm way but I can completely understand his aggravation
because the situation he is in. There is no request to discuss politics or
policies or anything. Actually the only thing the Venezuelans ask is to
#PrayForVenezuela <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23PrayForVenezuela>. Your
mail in the other hand sounded to me like Venezuela and their wikipedians
where of no importance.
But anyway, let's go back to track.

Please refrain from using this list for political
claims. The purpose of
this thread was to know if our WMUA fellows are safe.

In Venezuela we are going through the same
situation! We students are
being brutally repressed by government forces just for peacefully
protesting, they've killed several students in cold blod, and they
infiltrate our parades to generate destruction and chaos just to try and
justify their actions. Every mayor city in Venezuela is protesting
against
the so called "son of Chavez",
Cuban-controlled dictator Nicolás Maduro
and
his destructive economical and political
policies. CNN en espanol (along
with other international mass media) is making wide coverage of the
situation because no national mass media is allowed to do so, they even
took of air NTN24 (a Colombian news channel) for giving coverage of the
situation. The only channel allowed to give coverage of the situation is
the government controlled channel VTV, they only report what the
government
can use to their favor and very often twist
stories to fit their
purposes.
Venezuela wants liberty and democracy, we are
fighting for it, please
help
us by staying well informed, look for several
sources not only one, and
by
giving us moral support!

I've blogged about this issue at
http://wikinewsreporter.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/ukrainian-civil-unrest-and…
.
The people I've dealt with in the chapter
have been awesome all
things
considered in trying to support the movement by providing free
information
while at the same time trying to deal with
everything that is going on
around them.
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
