Talk:Carlos Fonseca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have started a major overhaul/expansion of the Fonseca article. I will keep going with the biographical stuff and will work on getting a picture, etc. feel free to comment, add stuff...--Something 21:42, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I left this about 3/4 complete a year ago and never finished it. I'm not interested in finishing it right now and I'm not gonna waste my time going back and forth about whether or not Fonseca was a KGB agent or not, and if he was, how relevent it was to the FSLN. Really, i just want to make it clear that this entry IS NOT COMPLETE and hopefully either I or someone else will finish it eventually. -- Something 03:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fonseca, Santinistas, KGB
Following,
-
- There isn't really space or time here to get into content and verifiability, but "nobody notable is disputing it" sounds very weak to me for such a claim. Such tendentious editing, while it may be a problem if TDC keeps it up, is not a breach of his current restrictions. Use normal dispute resolution to resolve this. --Tony Sidaway 15:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I thought I would begin a discussion about the issue. As I said earlier:
-
- KGB agent, retaining them in another section ("Early Years"). This was reverted by Torturous Devastating Cudgel saying noone notable is disputing it. In my view, allegations such as this need notable backing and not notable disputing. And as far as I know the only backing is from a book by Mitrokhin. If there are other references that he was a KGB agent, they should be introduced in the article (and I will of course accept them) Atavi 15:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about putting this in your user page (oops!). I meant to put this in your talk page! Sorry again, it was sloppy of me.--Atavi 15:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

- Mitrokhin and Andrew are extremely credible sources. This material has recently been the focus of parliamentary investigation in both Italy and India. I dont understand why this is so contentious. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 15:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

- Whether Mitrokhin is a credible source is up for debate. I think it's unfair to put the KGB stuff in the opening paragraph of this article. See my additions and my criticism of Mitrokhin. Griot 05:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

- For a good balanced look at Fonseca, you might try his entry from the Spanish wikipedia: [Carlos Fonseca http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Fonseca]. Griot 05:54, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
