Woman of Bolivarian Armed Forces in a presidential meeting
@Colin: , what do you think that should be changed?. I could add references from ONU, OEA or Admitiría sites to support the description, it was done using Google translator and maybe I'm putting something wrong in double seance that I can't see. Thanks --The Photographer 17:30, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The description should stick to what is in the photo. So describe neutrally who this person is, and their role there, and what the event is. The commentary about the country in general, or how the government uses meetings for propaganda, are not aspects of the photo, but just your own editorial, so can't be included on Commons. The symbolism of the red chairs might be relevant if you are quite sure they chose red chairs because of the socialist colour rather than just because they happened to have red chairs. I don't really understand "the red platform was armed in front of the Chiquinquirá Basilica". Commons is not Wikipedia, so even if you have sources, we really need to just stick to describing the picture. -- Colin (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the Spanish, a more correct translation would be "the red platform beleaguered the front of the Chiquinquirá Basilica", but such language is not neutral so please change that too. --cart-Talk 18:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I have reverted comments about crisis in Venezuela and I would also like to apologize, recently some close relatives have died as a result of the crisis in Venezuela and it is difficult for me to edit without thinking about it, I am not trying to justify myself --The Photographer 18:43, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you. I understand why this must be hard for you and this is one of the reasons, on Wikipedia, they don't want you to write articles about subjects close you. As a photographer you don't have that luxury but you have to try to stay cool. The important thing is to get the photo out there. Now we can get on with the voting.--cart-Talk 18:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
