[edit] BANK RAID, 2005

I was hoping to find information about the Bank Raid in Santa Elena, March 8 2005. This will be the subject of a C4 documentary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.185.240.121 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  • section added =) --T0rek 08:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • a nicaraguan member called LaNicoya just deleted the requested Bank Raid section, just because he didn't like the fact that a Nicaraguan guy commiting those horrible acts? I added it again, it should not be deleted in the future, I'll be watching this... --T0rek 09:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
My race has nothing to do with me removing the section. Wikipedia is not a place for "breaking news", the section was also unsourced. I would've deleted it no matter what country those people who were involved with came from.  LaNicoya  •TALK• 09:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

What_wikipedia_is_not states: "Journalism. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Wikipedia is not a primary source. However, our sister project Wikinews does exactly that, and is intended to be a primary source."  LaNicoya  •TALK• 09:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Please define breaking news here... The ban raid happened on 2005, an it was one of the most dark pages of costarrican recent history, it should remain there. I am currently looking for sources and the seccion will be there again, if you are complaining that it doesn't have any sources --T0rek 09:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Please define "dark pages of costarrican recent history", its not recent, it happened in 2005 right? And "one of the most dark pages" according to who? That is POV. The section is not to be re-added, it is irrelevant. I am not complaining, simply pointing out to you that the section is POV, OR and irrelevant.  LaNicoya  •TALK• 09:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Added the section again, having problems with formating but I'm adding sources...
Section finished with sources, even a BBC News one, is that enough? --T0rek 10:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Third opinion

I came here due to a plea posted on Wikipedia:Third opinion. In my opinion, the bank raid is a notable enough event to warrant inclusion in the article, it isn't late-breaking news, and the version as written (right now) contains acceptably neutral language. The only problem I see is the quotation at the end of the paragraph. Quotations must be cited. Fix that please, or delete the quotation. -Amatulic 22:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

mmm, the quotation is from the second source, maybe moving the citation to the end of the sentence? --T0rek 01:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ecotourism

Ecotourism is mentioned several times in this article but it doesn't really give any information about it. How many people go there? What are the impacts? How successful is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.211.117 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links

link added I believe the butterfly garden link would help know more about Monteverde sorry, first time here Trender (talk) 18:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I am deleting this link. Please read carefully Wikipedia:External links. Commercial travel and tourism sites shouldn't be in Wikipedia articles, because there are so many of them, and highlighting one of them amounts to advertising. Also, if you are associated with the site, please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before adding any more links. Thanks. -Amatulić (talk) 23:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
