[edit] Neutral point of view

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm commenting on an edit you made recently to Fidel Castro. Amongst other things, you changed the picture caption to read: "Cuban dictator Fidel Castro smoking while Cuba burns", and added "although the standard of these services was not consistently good" to a description of the health service in Cuba and "an organization then dominated by the Soviet bloc" to a reference to WHO. Although you did add some factual information most of what you wrote was unsourced opinion. I appreciate your opinion of Fidel Castro, but here we have a Neutral point of view policy. We leave our personal opinions out of the articles. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:03, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Removing significant information

Hi, it's me again. In your edit on John Kerry presidential campaign, 2004 at 05:59, 20 Apr 2005 you removed some factual information, to wit Kerry's unkept promise to "fight every vote" and the text linking to John Kerry military service controversy. Please don't remove significant information. If you challenge its factualness or think it forms an unbalanced impression, raise this on the talk page. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2003 invasion of Iraq

I agree with you that the 2003 Invasion of Iraq article is biased and may indeed be unfactual but encourage you to add to discussion if you wish to add this type of tag. Thanks.--MONGO 11:56, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Stalinist" references

Stop putting "Stalinist" references into articles. Unless an individual is (A) an avowed Stalinist, and (B) was best known for their Stalinist politics, these kind of POV-charged accusations do not belong in the intro (or anywhere else in the article). If specific accusations of Stalinism were made, they should be sourced. Remember the NPOV policy. Firebug 03:20, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Excellent work my friend

I appreciate your reversion of WL's bullshit over at Fidel Castro, but you might want to tone down your interjection of POV (the fact that he has a $550 million net worth doesn't warrant mention in the intro) J. Parker Stone 03:25, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

BTW, keep it up, cuz i don't want little snitch-ass WL to report me for 3RR. J. Parker Stone 03:27, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Compromise on Fidel Castro

Check out the recent compromise edit I made to the Fidel Castro article. Since ol' Fidel is such a controversial figure, I decided to include a very brief one-sentence summary of the pro- and anti-Fidel arguments in the opening paragraph. This includes your statements regarding Castro's wealth (but without giving a specific figure, which is listed further down). Firebug 04:26, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR violation on W. E. B. DuBois

You have been blocked for 24 hours for violating Wikipedia:Three revert rule on W. E. B. DuBois by reinserting "Stalinist" in the intro paragraph four times in 24 hours: [1] [2] [3] [4]
