[edit] Deletion proposal

This article is relevant, however needs some attention to the language used. Encyclopedic articles need to have a impartial tone to the writing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.142.240.42 (talk • contribs) 08:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop adding controversial content without reliable sources

Wikipedia's policy on Verifiability says:

The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article. If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.

The material on the so far unproven allegations made by Hugo Chavez in particular lack reliable sources. One broken external link to Counterpunch, a highly partisan magazine, does not count as a valid reference. It is especially important for articles on highly contentious issues to be thoroughly referenced. Sections on claims and allegations must be neutral and represent all major viewpoints. --Folantin 11:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from CIA controversies

[edit] Many countries missing

Clearly, much needs to be added to this article. Reliable sources are pretty hard to find because of the secretive nature of CIA operations and because most relevant documents haven't been disclosed yet (if ever). Here's a good place to start: [1] Lixy 20:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
