[edit] POV

I'm new to Wikipedia, but I know Carlos Petroni, and, knowing his personality, he obviously wrote this himself to make himself look good. He isn't important, or least not as important as other people in the left that should be added to wikipedia before him. I think the article should be deleted. But, I don't know, I'm new to Wikipedia and you people should decide.

[edit] added POV tag

I've added a POV neutrality tag at your request while cleaning up this article. JubalHarshaw 14:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree. Carlos wrote me and told me he was actually disappointed with the entry.

The article is factual from my own experience with Petroni. There ARE links to and from it. If anything the article makes Petroni look boring considering all the stuff about him that I know in terms of his experiences, in Cuba, in Nicaragua, etc. Keep the entry.

Petroni deserves an entry given the beadth of his experiences in the Latin American Left. If readers feel this is a puff piece, they're free to suggest edits. I may be wrong, but as Nahuel Moreno is deceased it seems that Petroni is the last major spokesman for this Trotskyist tendency. Why should he be considered "less important" than, say, Deval Patrick, the recently elected Governor of Massachusetts and former Chief lawyer for Coke, Texaco and Ameriquest who has a glowing Wiki entry?
